Attention Small Businesses
A bit ago a major announcement revealed that the algorithm will now prioritize smaller, more niche creators in finding new audiences. This change is fantastic news for most of you small business owners. However, if you're an influencer with 100K+ followers, this update might be a bit of a setback.
Adam Mosseri, the creator of the ranking system, explained, "Historically, due to our content ranking methods, creators with large followings and repost aggregators have had greater reach in recommendations than smaller, original content creators. We believe it’s crucial to correct this to give all creators a fairer opportunity to reach new audiences."
So, What Does This Mean for the Rest of Us?
FOUR KEY CHANGES:
1. Improved Ranking for Smaller Creators:
- The new input to the ranking system will give smaller creators more distribution.
2. Original Content Over Reposts:
- Reposted content will be replaced with original content in recommendations.
3. Repost Labels:
- Reposted content will now include labels linking to the original creator.
4. Emphasis on Niche Content:
- Content aggregators will be less prominent in recommendations.
I seen recently a lot of larger accounts mentioning their reach is low, this may be a reason why.
