Welcome back to Plan Like a Boss. Let's be real for a second. Social media can feel like you're shouting into the void. You're posting consistently, you're following the trends, you're even using all the right hashtags, but it still feels like no one is seeing your content. If you've ever caught yourself wondering, am I doing something wrong? Is it me? You're definitely not alone. Here's the truth: your business may not be the problem. You might just be invisible. So today we're diving into the three biggest signs your business is invisible on social media and how to fix each and every one. So your posts actually start showing up in front of the people who want what you're offering. Because visibility isn't about being famous or viral, it's about being findable. Let's make sure your people can actually find you. Okay, so sign number one, you're talking to everyone, which means you're talking to no one. This one's super common, especially for creatives and multi-passionate entrepreneurs who just wear a lot of hats. You're posting about your services, your behind the scenes, your new offer, your favorite planner, your morning coffee. And while it's all you, it's not always clear who you're for. If someone lands on your page and can't instantly tell what you do or how you can help them, they're gonna scroll right past. So here's how to fix it. Number one, niche down your messaging. Pick one audience and one core problem you can solve. Now, I know what you're thinking out here. Oh, but I'm multi-passionate. I do different things. That's great. Good for you. Love that for you. Keep doing multiple things, but arrange your content to only focus on one of those things at a time. It doesn't mean you have to get rid of the other things. It simply means that they need to have their own season. Set your content up on repeat for your multiple things, but do it at a time. So maybe one month you're focusing in on your membership, and then the next month you're focusing in on a product you just created, maybe a new planner. Focus in on one thing at a time. Now, the second thing you need to do is clarify your bio. Your Instagram bio, your TikTok bio should act like a billboard. If I read it, I should know exactly who you help and how you help them. This needs to be optimized for search. So no emojis. I know there's a limited character count, Instagram is 150 characters, Twitter's 160, Facebook is 255, you get the point. But emojis don't work with SEO. They're not words, they can't be read by search engines. So instead of using those emojis to shorten it up, make it concise and make sure your bio tells people exactly what it is you do and use the words that they're out there searching for. And then number three, start every post with your reader in mind. Instead of, I'm so excited to announce my new course. Try something like if you've been struggling to get found online, this is going to change everything. See the difference? The first one is about you, and the other is about them. When you speak directly to your ideal client's needs, they stop scrolling and start listening. And that's the first step to visibility. Okay, sign number two. You're creating for the algorithm instead of your audience. Listen, I get it. The algorithm feels like this mysterious, ever-changing beast that we all have to please. You post a reel that flops, and you immediately think, okay, maybe I should try trending audio. Then that one doesn't work either. So you switch to carousels, then stories, then back to reels. It's exhausting. But here's the thing the algorithm's goal is to show people content they engage with. So if you focus on creating for humans first, the algorithm will follow. This is exactly what happened in the SEO world. Everyone was creating for the Google bots. Content was terrible. And then the helpful content update came out, the very first of many. And all of these huge websites tanked. My coffee website, which was making me tons of money and affiliate income, it is out there in the Google graveyard somewhere because it's based on these old SEO practices. And I leave it out there on purpose so I can show you what not to do. Create content for humans first. So here's what that looks like: stop chasing trends. You don't need to dance or limp sync unless you want to, in which case, good for you. Do it. Start creating value-based content. Teach, inspire, or simply start a conversation. And then use Instagram SEO. Write your captions with keywords that your audience would actually type into the search bar. For example, instead of five ways to grow your business, try five ways to get more clients using Instagram SEO. Now your post can actually show up when someone searches that phrase. Create content around questions they're already asking you. When your content is optimized for search and written for humans, it becomes discoverable and relatable, which is the perfect visibility combination. Okay, sign number three. I know, I know that one stings a little or a lot, but I promise this is not about guilt. Life gets busy. You've got clients, you have family, maybe kids, maybe a full-time job. But here's the reality: if your audience only sees you pop up once every few weeks, they forget you exist. And I say this with all the love in the world, but I'm gonna mom you for a second. Inconsistency kills visibility. That is why even when I was going through chemotherapy, I was still posting to Instagram every single day. Except I wasn't. As a matter of fact, I wasn't on Instagram for about three months because I just couldn't with chemotherapy. But I knew I was about to go through something huge. So I planned out a strategy beforehand and I implemented the systems to execute that strategy. I batch filmed three months worth of content. I repurposed content and I scheduled it all to go out. So I was gone for three months because I was dealing with a major life event, still growing my hair back, but nobody really noticed. And that's the best part. So let's redefine consistency for a second. For me, it was batch filming three months worth of content, but it doesn't mean you have to post every single day. It means you need to show up predictably, even if that's twice a week or even once a week. As long as it's consistent, people know when to expect you. Now, here's how to make it sustainable: batch your content. Just like I did with my content before I started my cancer treatment. Set aside one day a month to create all of your posts for the entire month. Reuse and repurpose. Take one blog post or podcast and turn it into five social media posts. You can then share this same post across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, because here's the deal: you have different audiences on each platform. So you're not going to be repurposing to the same people over and over and over again. Then plan ahead. Visibility doesn't happen by accident, it's built into your workflow. Once you get your systems put into place to have consistent visibility, everything will start to happen automatically. And when you show up consistently, your audience learns to trust you. They start looking for your name in their feed. They want to watch your stories. That's when visibility starts compounding. So let's recap for a second. You're talking to everyone instead of your ideal client. Stop. Niche down. Make sure you're focused on your exact ideal client. If you've been creating for algorithms and not humans, stop that immediately. Take the question that you've been asked most in the last week and create content around that right now. And if you're showing up inconsistently, start working on a system that will help you be consistent. Now, if any of those made you nod your head a little, good. Because now you can fix it. And here's the good news: you don't have to figure it out alone.
