(Scroll down this page for more details.) Each guide creates additional indexed pages featuring your business, multiplying your opportunities to appear in relevant local searches.

Why this matters for SEO: Each Guide creates additional indexed pages featuring your organization, giving you more opportunities to appear in relevant local searches throughout the year.

4. Quarterly #ProudMember Facebook Community Group Campaigns
Your opportunity to promote yourself and activate your advocates in our community.
Our Main Line Parent Community group is a trusted advertising-free space 48 weeks of the yearโdedicated to parent-to-parent connections, genuine referrals, and community building. But four times per year, we open a 10-day window for Members to make ONE promotional post each, using the required #ProudMember hashtag.
Your #ProudMember Campaign Weeks:
-
- Winter: February 1-10
- Spring: May 1-10
- Summer: August 1-10
- Fall: November 1-10
The Strategy:
- Post as YOURSELF (your brand page is also permitted) to keep it personal and authentic
- Invite your happiest clients to join the group BEFORE your campaign week
- Tag satisfied customers in your post or comments to trigger notifications
- Introduce yourself, share your story, make an offer with an incentive, or host a small giveaway to drive engagement
Why This Works: The key to success is getting your ambassadors and advocates to comment on your post, sharing their genuine experiences with you. Parent-to-parent recommendations are trusted above all elseโand when those testimonials happen in our established community of 38,700+ engaged local parents, it creates powerful social proof.
Bonus: Members can post job opportunities with their organization in the Main Line Parent Community group year-round (no waiting for campaign weeks!)
