    The Solution: Create a content calendar and stick to a consistent posting schedule.

    Mistake 2: Ignoring Local Connection

    The Problem: Generic content that could be from anywhere misses local engagement opportunities.

    The Solution: Incorporate Ohio references, local events, and community content.

    Mistake 3: Not Responding to Engagement

    The Problem: Unanswered comments and messages signal disinterest and hurt algorithm performance.

    The Solution: Respond to all engagement within 24 hours.

    Mistake 4: Over-Promoting

    The Problem: Constant sales messages drive followers away and reduce engagement.

    The Solution: Follow the 80/20 rule—80% value content, 20% promotional.
