6 - The algorithm reality check for businesses and professionals
You spend hours writing posts and designing carousels only to see zero engagement, and this reality for a lot of us is super frustrating.
Organic reach has dropped significantly across social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn, because the platforms operate as advertising businesses (for them! not necessarily for us!). They prioritize content that keeps users in the app, so linking out to podcasts or newsletters doesn't work that well even if you do get the views. Your post will be suppressed if it starts to get any traction.
In this episode:
- The shift from follower-based to interest-based algorithms
- Why platforms are motivated to suppress organic reach for professional services
- How to evaluate if your marketing time is actually productive
Evaluate if reach metrics actually matter for your business goals. You might find better ROI by investing in search-ranking assets like articles or podcast episodes that build relationships with the right people over time (more slowly). More on that during this week's episodes.
