Can't seem to figure out why the Reels are getting little to no views! Any insights and your experience would be appreciated!

My account got blocked, but thankfully, I had all the content maintained outside IG. Be sure to keep your content backup outside just like I did. Here is what I suggest for getting better views: - Use relevant hashtag, keywords, caption, description - Use trending sounds and effects - Experiment and be consistent. Keep posting and keep learning is the key!

@digitalakanksha thank you, Is there an easier way to find out trending sounds and effects? Or consuming content is the best way?

Would need some more context... Reels are usually a great media form. Could you have a funnel block in other area? For example, your followers don't see your posts or stories, or the users that visit your profile don't follow you...

@alvarovillalb_ I did think about funnel block... the followers will see the reels if i post to grid but i do not want to post to grid as it'll ruin the look and feel of the page but seems like i will need to change it up. As for users that don't follow, thats a good point! How would you go about that?

@shezzy04 I'd try to see why the algorithm is ranking your reels badly. 1) see where is the funnel block 2) define why that funnel block is happening 4) optimize what is needed to remove the funnel block 4) repeat with other funnel blocks until your reels get the "deserved" impressions I'd go like that!

@jonathantahiry The followers will see the reels if i post to grid but I do not want to post to grid as it'll ruin the look and feel of the page but seems like i will have to at this point. The reels doesn't seem like its pushing out to people who don't follow us and that is what we are aiming for but IG is not even letting the content see the light of the day and I don't know why :( https://www.instagram.com/lovo.ai/ for more context

@shezzy04 I see, unfortunately I really don’t have the answer to that, but if you happen to figure it out, please let me know! I am really curious on how it could work out.

The IG Reels algorithm can be influenced by factors like engagement, shareability, and relevance. Focus on creating engaging content, using trending sounds and hashtags, and posting consistently. Experiment with different content types to see what resonates with your audience and triggers the algorithm to promote your Reels.

I've found that engaging with other Reels creators and using relevant hashtags can also help boost visibility. It's all about finding that sweet spot that works for your audience.

Making sure your videos have people in them and are engaging helps. Solving a small problem in each video on a specific topic that is relevant to your niche helps
