KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Impressions and reach are two distinct metrics on social media. Reach refers to the total number of unique users exposed to content, while impressions represent the total number of times content is displayed.
• Organic reach, which is the reach without paid promotion, has significantly decreased over time on various social media platforms.
• Algorithms reward engagement, so it is crucial to focus on generating genuine engagement on social media posts.
• Strategies to increase engagement include asking questions, inviting readers to share their experiences, requesting feedback, and inviting people to direct messages.
• Targeted engagement is more valuable than high reach, as reaching the right audience is essential for effective communication and achieving desired outcomes.
