The underlying objective of business leaders using social media is to build, enhance, shape and manage the perception of their companies and to build customers’ brand loyalty. If the number one rule in brick-and-mortar businesses is location-location-location, this is a reality for your company's online presence, too. You need to be where your consumer is to be relevant in today's market. There are essentially four reasons for your company to adopt a social media strategy:

•    Be where your customers are.
•    Optimize your company’s search engine ratings.
•    Get an immediate edge over competitors.
