In 2025, growing your brand on Facebook and Instagram is more challenging than ever.
Low engagement and stagnant follower growth?
Rising ad costs but poor conversion rates?
Competitors going viral while your content gets buried by the algorithm?
If you’re facing these challenges, you’re not alone.
The question is—how can you make sure your content actually reaches the right audience?
I have a powerful strategy that many businesses are using to double (or even triple) their reach and engagement—and you can too!
Before we dive into the solution, let’s first understand how Facebook & Instagram (Meta)'s algorithm determines which posts get recommended to users.
Meta (Facebook & Instagram) has further integrated its platforms, making content distribution more seamless across both. This means that understanding how to optimize your content for each platform is crucial.
Meta’s algorithm favors different types of engagement on each platform:
✅ Facebook: Users engage more with interactive, in-depth content like long-form posts, discussions, and community-building activities.
✅ Instagram: Visual content is king—short videos, Reels, and Stories drive the most engagement.
On Facebook, focus on sparking conversations and social interactions.
On Instagram, aim for high engagement (likes, comments, shares) through visually appealing content.
Leverage Meta’s built-in analytics to track and refine your performance.
Meta has even released 22 official system cards explaining how posts are ranked, how Stories and Reels are recommended, and how friend and group suggestions work.
But what if you want to guarantee that your content reaches more people?
One way to gain more visibility is through paid promotion. But should you boost a post or run a Meta ad?
A boosted post is a simple way to extend the reach of a post you’ve already published.
It increases visibility on Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram.
You can quickly set it up via Meta Business Suite.
It offers limited targeting and customization options.
When you boost a post, you can:
Choose a goal (engagement, website visits, messages).
Adjust the ad text and schedule.
Set a budget and select placements.
Meta ads, created through Meta Ads Manager, provide far greater customization and control.
With Meta ads, you can:
Optimize for specific objectives like app installs, website conversions, and lead generation.
Choose ad placements across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Meta Audience Network.
Use advanced targeting (lookalike audiences, detailed demographics, Advantage+ creative).
Maintain full creative control (carousel ads, dynamic text variations, budget optimization).
Use boosted posts when you want quick engagement and more visibility on an existing post.
Use Meta ads for more advanced campaigns focused on conversions, lead generation, and broader audience reach.
But here’s the key insight:
Engagement drives the algorithm.
The more likes, comments, and shares a post gets, the more the algorithm will push it to even more people.
Did you know,
According to Sprout Social Index:
📊 90% of social media users have a Facebook account.
📊 82% have an Instagram account, making it the second most popular platform.
According to Statista (2025):
Meta’s ecosystem (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger) dominates with 8.07 billion total active users.
Facebook: 3.07 billion monthly active users (the #1 social platform).
Instagram & WhatsApp: 2 billion users each.
Messenger: Nearly 1 billion users.
With such massive user bases, Meta remains one of the most powerful marketing channels—but only if you know how to work with its algorithm.
What if you could get more visibility, engagement, and conversions on Facebook & Instagram—without increasing your ad spend?
