Algorithm Secrets
Here are some secrets to social media algorithms:
- User engagement
- Algorithms consider user engagement like likes, comments, and shares to determine what content is relevant.
- Relevance
- Algorithms use keywords and hashtags to improve content visibility and provide context.
- Consistency
- Posting consistently at the right time when your audience is active can help boost visibility.
- User Interactions
- Algorithms consider accounts followed, interactions, and click-through rates to determine content quality and relevance.
- Creator tiers
- Instagram's algorithm categorizes accounts into different Creator tiers, or trust scores. Accounts in higher tiers get more reach.
- Training
- Users can train their algorithm to show them a wider variety of content by engaging with different things.
- Posting Strategies
- Different social channels may require different posting strategies. For example, Instagram may require 3–7 posts per week, while Facebook may require 1–2 posts per day.
