A social media mind map is a visual outline of how a social media strategy fits together. It usually starts from a central goal, such as brand awareness or lead generation, and branches into the main areas that support it: platforms, audience, content, paid promotion and measurement. Each branch then breaks into specific decisions, so you can see how a post idea links to a target audience and a success metric.

Platforms: channels chosen for each audience, such as Instagram or LinkedIn
Audience: who you reach, their needs and where they spend time
Content: formats, posting schedule and themes for each channel
Engagement: comments, shares, replies and community responses
Metrics: reach, click-through rate, conversions and follower growth

Use the map to plan a campaign, revise for an exam, or review what worked last quarter. Create your own version with CogniGuide from your notes or brief.
