  "We post every week, we've got followers, we get likes and comments, so why isn't any of it turning into enquiries?" It's a question we hear from Birmingham business owners more often than you'd think. Instagram is active, Facebook gets its regular updates, LinkedIn ticks over with company news, the page looks busy from the outside.
