    One of the key benefits of social media (that's rarely discussed) is its ability to resolve doubt and confusion among fence-sitters.

    Yes, your prospective customers are likely confused and possibly uncertain.

    During my 15 years of website strategy and usability work (before I went all "social media" on you), I tried very hard to live by the two-click rule—answering the most common questions customers have about your business on your site within two clicks.
