The Insta Algorithm
Instagram launched their major algorithm change back in 2016 which made it so that posts no longer appeared in chronological order. Well, folks had a lot to say about how this change affected them and the conversation has not slowed down since. For those who use Instagram as a major business resource, the question has remained: What exactly do I do to make this algorithm work for me?
The fact is, things change all the time and what works for one person may not have the same effect for another. This makes it near impossible to identify a sure-fire strategy that will result in posts receiving higher viewer ratings or increasing engagement. The good news is, there are some great resources for you to utilize to increase your knowledge surrounding the Instagram algorithm and to help you understand this ever-evolving social media platform as best you can!
