Likely because the page doesn't make it obvious what you do, where you're located, or how to actually contact you — visitors land on a feed of photos with no clear next step, so they scroll past instead of reaching out.
A social media profile for a business serves a different purpose than a personal profile, but it's often set up the same way — photos, occasional updates, and not much else. A visitor arriving at a business's Instagram or Facebook page for the first time is usually trying to answer the same questions they'd ask of a website: what does this business do, where are they, and how do I get in touch — and if those aren't immediately obvious from the bio and pinned content, most visitors don't dig for them.
The bio section is prime real estate that's frequently underused — left at a default, or filled with a slogan that doesn't actually communicate what the business does or where it operates. The contact button, if present at all, may not be set up to go anywhere useful. And without a pinned post or story highlight that orients a new visitor, every visitor is starting from zero.
This is foundational, not a content strategy issue. Posting more often won't fix a profile that doesn't clearly state what you do and how to reach you — fixing the bio, contact setup, and a pinned orientation post usually has more immediate impact than posting frequency.

See a sample evaluation →Posting consistency matters for visibility over time, but it won't fix a profile that doesn't clearly communicate what you do — that's a setup issue, not a content frequency issue.
Clearly state what you do, where you serve (city or area), and how to take action — in that order, as concisely as possible. Avoid slogans that don't convey the actual service.
Yes — social profile setup is part of the broader digital presence a foundation evaluation considers, alongside website, Google profile, and other customer-facing assets.
