From my experience working in Digital Marketing, one of the biggest SMO mistakes is treating every platform the same. Many people post same content on every platform like Instagram, Twitter(X) and Facebook. But every platform has their own different Audience and content style.

Another mistakes that most people do is ignoring analytics. Most people directs upload post on every platform with checking their last post metrics like reach, impressions, clicks orr audience demographics. Without reviewing these  metrics it's difficult to understand which post is working and which type of content should be post next. 

This is also an mistake that many business only focus on too much promotion, every post is related to selling an product or services, Due to this followers lose interest to your profile instead of post every sales post, have to focus on posting mixed post like educational, informative and engaging that follower dont lose interest.

Poor profile optimization is an another issue, which contains imcomplete bio, outdated contact details , missing tour Website links. These mistakes can lose to potential customer to trust the brand.

I have also noticed that some business responds to comments or messages. This is basically an mind blowing strategy because social media is basically designed for intrections not only for broadcasting content. Engaing with followers can help to build strong relation and brand visibility.

Some common mistakes are:

  • Postng same content on every platform
  • ignore social media analytics
  • sharing only promotional content 
  • neglecting  profile optimixation
  • not responding to comments and messages 
  • posting inconsistently 
  • using irrelevant tags and use excessive hashtags

so SMO is not an small topics which I can cover but if you fixes these points you can surely fixes majors SMO errors.  One more thing is that this is not an one time process you have to doing this regularly  (some steps like check metrics, responds to  followers messages and comments, etc.)
