Adding Profile URLs

Format Requirements

Correct Formats

Which Profiles to Add

Recommended Priority

1. High Priority — Platforms you actively use
   • Facebook (business page)
   • Instagram
   • Twitter/X

1. Medium Priority — Content platforms
   • YouTube (if you have videos)
   • TikTok (if you create content)
   • Pinterest (if relevant to your products)

1. Lower Priority — Professional networks
   • LinkedIn (B2B businesses)
   • Snapchat (younger audiences)

Best Practices

• Only add profiles you actively maintain
• Ensure profiles are complete and professional
• Use consistent branding across platforms
• Keep URLs updated if you change usernames
