Are you ready to unlock the secrets to mastering Instagram and boosting your reach? Join me, Daniel Hill, on this exciting episode of The Instagram Stories as I dive deep into the latest insights shared by the head of Instagram. We explore the innovative Edits app, discuss the powerful Meta AI, and share effective strategies to enhance your visibility on the platform. If you've ever wondered how carousels can elevate your content game, this episode is packed with practical tips you won't want to miss!  We kick things off by unpacking the Edits app, a tool designed to streamline your editing process. Don't worry—using this app won't downrank your reels, and I'll give you a sneak peek into upcoming features like new fonts and advanced video editing tools. As someone who navigates the ever-evolving landscape of social media marketing, I understand the frustrations many users face, particularly around music limitations on Instagram. The 90-second cap on music for reels has been a hot topic, and I shed light on the licensing issues that hinder a more expansive experience. It's clear that better collaboration between the music industry and social media platforms is essential for enhancing user satisfaction.  Shifting gears, we delve into effective strategies for increasing your reach on Instagram. Does tagging in stories can significantly amplify your visibility? No. But I highlight the effectiveness of carousels, which often outperform single-image posts in terms of engagement. With the right approach to using carousels, you can maximize your content's impact and connect with your audience more effectively. As a product manager and social media manager, I emphasize the importance of strategic planning when it comes to carousel posts.  This episode is a treasure trove of insider insights on Instagram, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to stay ahead of social media trends.

Send us a textGoogle Tests AI-organized Carousels in Local Search Results for Restaurants & Bars:  Recent test search results for local businesses on Google, particularly restaurants and bars, have been dominated by AI-organized carousels. Searches like “best cocktail bar” now return multiple carousels sequentially down the page, with categories such as rooftop bars, artisanal cocktail bars, and budget-friendly options. These results feature large visuals, ratings, and addresses, allowing users to scroll through various options to view and choose from local listings. Interestingly, the number of carousels varies depending on the location—New York City displayed more than 12, while smaller cities like Rochester and Buffalo showed fewer or none at all, with traditional results like Yelp or Reddit appearing so far down in the search results below the carousels​ that they are largely invisibile. Facebook Tests New Local Tab, Aggregating Content from Reels, Marketplace, and Events:  A new local tab by Facebook has been introduced in several U.S. cities, aggregating content from Reels, Marketplace, and local events. This move consolidates previously dispersed local content, aiming to create a more streamlined and engaging user experience. Cities like Austin, New York, and Los Angeles were selected for the initial rollout. While no new content is being created, Facebook is leveraging its existing local data. The strategy is expected to enhance engagement by making local information easier to find, though questions remain about how successful this product will be in the long run.Google Experiences Significant Decline in Customer Loyalty Rankings Over Past Two Years:Google experienced the largest decline in customer loyalty among top 100 brands, dropping from 9th place in 2022 to 25th in 2023, according to a list compiled by Brand Keys. The annual report assesses nearly 1,500 brands across 140 industries using consumer feedback. While Google's decline was noted, YouTube rose from 21st to 6th place over the same period. Additionally, ChatGPT entered the list at 49th in 2023 and advanced to 40th in 2024. The rankings, based on customer feedback and loyalty metrics, suggest shifting consumer sentiment despite Google's continued market dominance​.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Ep 178Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

The conversation delves into the nuances of content creation, audience engagement, and the importance of authenticity in a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated content.

Show Notes: MiloTree Book a FREE 20-minute call with me Sesil Ivanova Join My Blogger Genius Email List Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group All Blogger Genius Podcast Episodes Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Sesil Ivanova's Background and Growth Sesil shares her journey as an artist and Instagram creator, detailing how she has successfully built her following. She emphasizes that while many creators may aspire to produce perfect, viral content, the key to success lies in authenticity and connection with the audience. Content Creation Strategies Start with Visually Appealing Shots Sesil suggests beginning with visually appealing shots from your life. These should be both authentic and aesthetically pleasing. By layering a voiceover or relatable text over these visuals, you can tell a compelling story that resonates with your audience. Show Your Face and Share Personal Experiences She stresses the importance of showing your face and sharing personal experiences. This fosters a deeper connection with viewers. In a landscape where AI-generated content is becoming more prevalent, genuine human connection is more crucial than ever. Practical Tips for Content Creation Quality Over Quantity: Invest time in creating fewer, high-quality videos that provide real value to viewers. Understand Your Audience: Analyze your audience's desires, pain points, and interests to craft content that speaks directly to them. Storytelling and Authenticity: Focus on sharing personal experiences and insights to foster a genuine connection with your audience. The Role of Reels and Stories Reels for Broader Reach Sesil strongly advocates using Reels to reach a broader audience. Reels are designed to attract new followers and can significantly boost your visibility on the platform. Posts and Carousels for Deeper Connections While Reels can attract new followers, posts and carousels serve to deepen connections with existing followers. These formats allow you to share more detailed content and engage your audience on a deeper level. Instagram Stories for Daily Engagement Instagram Stories are a tool for daily engagement, allowing creators to share their lives and build a sense of community with their audience. Stories provide a more intimate space for sharing personal insights and fostering a sense of familiarity. Sales and Marketing on Instagram Using Instagram as a Sales Funnel While Reels can attract new viewers, Stories are more effective for nurturing relationships and ultimately driving sales. While subtle selling can occur in Reels, Stories provide a more intimate space for promoting products or services. Authenticity in Marketing Sesil emphasizes the importance of authenticity in marketing. She advises against overtly promotional content, suggesting that creators should focus on providing value and sharing their experiences. This approach builds trust and encourages followers to engage with the content and consider purchasing. Content Length and Editing Ideal Length for Reels Sesil suggests keeping Reels under a minute, ideally around 50 seconds, to maintain viewer engagement. She recommends changing visuals every second or so to keep the content dynamic and interesting. Using Your Voice Sesil shares her preference for using her voice in videos, as it helps establish a personal connection with the audience. She encourages creators to experiment with different formats, including voiceovers, text, and music, to find what resonates best with their audience. The Importance of Authenticity Vulnerability and Rawness Throughout the episode, Sesil reiterates the importance of authenticity in content creation. She believes that vulnerability and rawness can be powerful tools for connection. While polished content has its place, showing the real, unfiltered aspects of life can resonate deeply with viewers. Tailoring Content for Different Platforms Sesil contrasts the strategies for Instagram and TikTok, noting that TikTok tends to favor more raw and unpolished content. She suggests that while creators can repurpose content across platforms, they should tailor their approach to fit the unique culture and expectations of each platform. Are There Shortcut to Instagram Growth? Unfortunately no. There are no shortcuts or magic formulas for success on Instagram. Instead, it's about being genuine, providing value, and connecting with the audience on a personal level. Sesil encourages listeners to embrace their unique qualities and share their stories, as this is what will ultimately attract and retain followers.

Send us a Text Message.Instagram Reels has become critical for brand promotion. Of all the things you can do on IG (Stories, Posts, Carousels…), Reels is number one. SocialInsider studied this recently and found brands have increased their use of reels by 40% compared to the previous year because they're more engaging than single images or carousels. Brands should have a consistent calendar for creating reels, but also use other content formats like carousels to reach their goals on Instagram. And, as in any PR campaign, it's important to understand your audience and tailor content to their preferences. The “Reel” success for brands just might be in creating smaller, niche communities for more effective engagement.Listen For3:38 Why Reels is Number One on Instagram and How Brands have responded6:30 The Importance of a Content Mix9:18 Understanding Your Audience12:00 Why You Need to Get Their Attention in Three SecondsGuest: Adina Jipa, Founder and CMO Social InsiderEmail | LinkedIn | Instagram | Instagram Benchmarks Report Rate this podcast with just one click Leave us a voice message we can share on the podcast  https://www.speakpipe.com/StoriesandStrategiesStories and Strategies WebsiteDo you want to podcast?

On the agenda are two updates from Instagram – the first being a test for text overlays and different image ratios in Carousels, and the second being unskippable in-feed video ads. We also discuss TikTok replacing its Creator Centre with new TikTok Studio, X launching new analytics (with a catch), and LinkedIn implementing yet another AI ad tool. Finally we unpack findings from a new Pinterest report, which offers some key insights into getting attention on the platform. Got a question or suggestion for the Social Minds podcast?
