Is your LINE Official Account set up correctly? The basics of account design for attracting customers

"I made a LINE account, but it's not quite right..." Could the cause be a setup mistake?

Hello, this is Ran.
I often hear comments like this from people who have just created a LINE Official Account.

• "I made an account for now, but I'm worried if it's correct..."

• "I feel like I'm not getting much response even when I send messages..."

• "I'm not getting many new friends..."

Actually, many of these problems are caused bythe "initial settings" of the account not being done properly.

The content and frequency of your messages are important, but if the foundational settings aren't in place beforehand, no one will see them in the first place.

In this article, I will clearly introduce "5 basic setting points" that even beginners can check right away!

📢 For those who want to learn about Official LINE from scratch
This Note is one article in the "Official LINE Start Guide: Learn from Scratch" series.
I have compiled the steps that even beginners can follow without getting lost, from how to create an account to gathering friends, sending messages, and analysis.

If you are interested in LINE operations, please follow the magazine to check for the latest articles!

❌ 3 common initial setup mistakes

① Profile image or name is half-hearted

→ If your face isn't visible or it's unclear what the account is for, it tends to be ignored.
Make sure to match it with your service name or icons from other SNS.

② Greeting message is left as default or is generic

→ The greeting message, which is the most read of all messages, will make it difficult to achieve your LINE operation goals if it is generic and fails to get a response.

③ Auto-reply or chat settings are inappropriate

→ "I asked a question but got no reply..." is a cause for a drop in trust.

5 basic settings to fix first

Beginners just need to check these 5 things first!

1. Profile image (icon) and account name

It is important that people can tell at a glance what kind of person or business the account belongs to.

• Use a trustworthy icon, such as a headshot or logo.

• It is helpful to include your industry or location in the account name (e.g., XX Chiropractic Clinic | Nagoya).

2. Status message or profile introduction

This is crucial information that helps visitors decide what they can gain from your account.

• Example: "LINE-exclusive coupons now available," "Delivering beauty tips twice a week!" etc.

• The trick is to convey the benefit of following you in a single sentence.

3. Optimization of the greeting message

This is the first impression immediately after someone adds you as a friend. It's a waste to leave it as the default template!

• We recommend a three-part set: "Thanks for registering!" + "What kind of information you provide" + "A call to action (coupons/reservations, etc.)."

4. Response mode and notification settings

• Check to ensure that the switch between "Bot" and "Chat" is set appropriately.

• If you don't have notifications turned on, you might miss replies to questions.

5. Designing the flow for adding friends (proper use of QR codes/URLs)

It is also important to think in advance about where you want people to add you from.

🔸 Use QR codes offline

Place them on flyers, business cards, shop cards, etc. They are easy for people to scan when visiting your store or meeting in person.

🔸 Use URLs online

Place them on Instagram, campaign pages, reservation sites, etc., so that people can add you directly from their smartphones.

➡ Conveying "what they will get from this LINE" at the same time will increase your response rate!

💡 Just reviewing your settings can change your results

Initial setup for a LINE Official Account is often put off, but if this isn't properly configured, your messages may not reach your audience effectively.

By reviewing your settings, you can lead to:

• Lower block rates

• Higher response rates immediately after registration

• Increased account credibility

and you will start to feel that you are truly making the most of LINE.

If you are not confident in your settings, leave it to 'L-Saku'!

Summary: LINE Results Depend on the Precision of Your Settings

To get results with a LINE Official Account, people often focus on content and techniques, but
what is actually more important before that is the initial settings that form the foundation of your account.

• Do your profile and icon convey a sense of trust?

• Can you capture interest with a greeting message immediately after registration?

• Are automatic replies and message flows functioning without stress?

By simply organizing these areas,
your block rate and response rate will change, and your account will evolve into one where friends start to increase naturally.

But...

“Where should I start fixing the settings?”
“I don't even know what is correct in the first place...”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How much should I be particular about my account name and icon?

A. Since your profile is visible before users register on LINE, the first impression is extremely important.
Simply having a name that conveys your industry or service content and a trustworthy icon will lower the hurdle for adding friends.
If you are unsure, we also recommend checking with L-Saku!

Q2. What is the best content for a greeting message?

A. Just saying "Thank you for registering" is a missed opportunity!
We recommend the following flow: (1) Gratitude -> (2) What kind of information they will receive -> (3) A call to action (e.g., reservations or coupons).
If you want a template, L-Saku can suggest one tailored to your specific industry.

Q3. How should I distinguish between automatic responses and chat mode?

A. Basically, you can think of it as "Automatic response: for guidance" and "Chat mode: for individual support."
Adjust according to your operational style, such as using automatic replies outside business hours or turning on chat when you receive many inquiries.
If you are unsure about the settings, L-Saku provides careful support.

Q4. Where should I actually place things for flow design?

A.

• Offline, place QR codes on flyers and shop cards.

• Online, it is effective to place friend-add URLs on Instagram, reservation pages, and your website.
  If you are worried about how to create these flows, L-Saku can handle everything from advice to design!
