2. Increase time spent on site
A social media feed embedded on a WordPress page keeps visitors engaged with your content longer and increases time spent on site. In addition, a live-updating social media feed inspires your customers to learn more about your products and services.
3. Drive sales with social proof
When it comes to marketing and sales, word-of-mouth is always more efficient than direct ads. By adding authentic user-generated content to websites, marketers can showcase the products in actual use and drive conversions.
