How to add social media links to your Showit footer

Quick answer

In Showit, add links to your active social media profiles in your footer. Use social media icons and make sure each link opens in a new tab.

How to fix it in Showit

1. Open your site in Showit

2. Navigate to your footer element

3. Add icon links to your active social media profiles — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, or YouTube

4. Only add links to profiles you actively use — dead or empty profiles are worse than no link

5. Set each social link to open in a new tab so visitors don't leave your site

6. Publish your changes in Showit

7. Run a fresh scan in FastaSEO to confirm the social links are now detected

What's the issue

FastaSEO couldn't find any social media links in your footer. Links to your active profiles — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and others — are expected in the footer of any modern website.

Why it matters

• Social media links in the footer give visitors a way to stay connected with you after they leave your site. They also signal that your business is active and present on social platforms. Only link to profiles you regularly post on — a link to an inactive account can reduce trust rather than build it.

What good looks like

Icon links to 1–4 active social profiles in the footer. Each link opens in a new tab. Only platforms you actively use are included.

How long this takes

Adding social media links to your footer takes around three minutes.
