How to Work with Social Icons on Elementor

Websites are useful selling tools, however, that doesn’t mean that they are where all your marketing should be. Social media can be one of the most powerful elements in building trust with your audience.

Social icons are a visual way for you to showcase what platforms you’re using to communicate with audiences and get people directly there. Therefore, audiences aren’t getting confused between brands and profiles and can go directly to your Twitter feed, Facebook page, or Instagram profile, with just a click.

This makes it easier for you to gain new followers while at the same time making it easier for your audience to find you and keep in contact.

Social icons can be used on every page, like on headers, or at the bottom of pages and blog posts to get people to interact with you.

With Elementor, the Social Icons Widget provides complete control over the appearance of your social icons. Therefore, you get enough power to ensure that you are displaying the social icons exactly how you want them to look to match your brand.
