How important is a cover on Twitter?
Continuing with the analogy with a book, the cover image turns out to be important, since it is the first impression that a person will have when entering our twitter profile.
It should be eye-catching, with a good quality image, that is not pixelated or blurred and that it is consistent with the theme and approach that you want to work on the account. It is a space that can be used to place marketing information, contact channels, etc.
profile reliability
An adequate cover image generates confidence and security in the visitor, invites them to continue their navigation in the account, as well as to interact without any fear with the owners of the same, since it provides seriousness to the profile in question.
The cover is like your clothing on the social network , it can say a lot about the people who are managing the account and a mistake in it can be very expensive if it is about business.
Attraction of other users
For the algorithms of social networks, the interaction with the users of the same is very important, this will allow them to promote you on the network itself, having a higher level of reach and being much more attractive to the general public.
