# 3 Ways to Connect your Website with Social Media

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: Integrating SimDif websites with social media platforms through manual links and dedicated content blocks.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Your Website and Social Media

There are three primary methods to establish a connection between a SimDif website and social media networks.

### 1. Create text links to social media pages

Establishing links within the text of pages or the footer is often more effective for visitors and search engine optimization than using icons alone. Recommended practices include using keyword-rich phrases such as:
* Connect with me on LinkedIn
* Check out and Like our Facebook page
* Follow me on Twitter

In the SimDif Text Editor—which offers the same interface and features across the iOS app, Android app, and web browsers—highlight the chosen phrase and select the chain icon to open the Link Editor. From there, the specific URL for the social media profile can be added.

### 2. Share the website address

Distributing the website's URL widely helps drive traffic. This includes sharing the link on other websites, forums, and in comments.

It is essential to include the website URL on personal or business social media profiles. A social media presence helps direct users to the site, while the SimDif website serves as the central hub to control an online presence and explain professional activities or projects.

### 3. Add social media button blocks

SimDif provides dedicated "Social media button" blocks, which are a type of content block used to promote social profiles and encourage visitor connection. These blocks are available in the "Standard" category when selecting "Add a New Block."

These buttons support links for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and VK. Social media buttons are available for websites on SimDif Smart and Pro plans.
