Make it easy for readers to share your stories with their friends, families, and communities. Surf CMS includes social sharing tools that help your content travel beyond your website and reach new audiences across popular social media platforms.
With built-in sharing buttons, readers can quickly post articles, photos, events, opinion pieces, and other content to their favorite networks.
Share Stories Anywhere
Add social sharing buttons to key content across your site, including:
- News articles
- Opinion columns
- Sports stories
- Event listings
- Photo galleries
- Obituaries
- Classifieds
- Sponsored content
- Feature stories
- Community announcements
Every share helps expand your newspaper’s reach.
Support for Popular Platforms
Surf CMS can support sharing to major platforms such as:
- X / Twitter
- Text message
- Copy link
- Other social networks as needed
Readers can share content in the way that is most convenient for them.
Mobile-Friendly Sharing
Many readers discover and share local news from their phones. Surf CMS makes sharing fast and simple on mobile devices, helping readers send stories directly to social apps, messaging apps, or email.
Clean, Flexible Design
Sharing buttons can be styled to match your website and placed where they make the most sense, including:
- Above articles
- Below articles
- Floating beside stories
- In sidebars
- On photo galleries
- On event pages
The goal is simple: make sharing easy without distracting from the content.
Better Headlines and Images When Shared
Surf CMS helps ensure stories look professional when shared on social media by supporting proper titles, descriptions, and images. This makes shared links more attractive and more likely to be clicked.
Grow Your Audience Organically
Social sharing turns readers into promoters. When someone shares a local story, that article reaches people who may not already visit your website.
This can help:
- Increase website traffic
- Attract new readers
- Promote community stories
- Extend the life of important articles
- Improve visibility for advertisers and sponsored content
Let Your Readers Help Spread the News
Your community already talks about local news online. Surf CMS makes it easy for readers to share your content with one click, helping your newspaper reach more people while keeping your website at the center of the conversation.
