167: Coaching Call "How do you keep up with the algorithm?" with guest Alex Monaghan

In this episode format called "Coaching Calls," a small business owner/entrepreneur is given an opportunity to submit a question they would like me to answer about marketing, business growth, personal development, or anything that's on their mind! Today's submission is from a fellow marketer in northeast Iowa, Alex Monaghan of MAK Marketing, who asked, "How do you keep up with the algorithm?" This is a layered question, but it's one I think we all need a reminder of as we promote our products and services, specifically on social media. Key Takeaways:

"The Meta algorithms, so Facebook and Instagram, and those are really driven by engagement. And engagement on those platforms looks like a hierarchy of interactions."
"A video engagement is considered a three-second view."
"What might my ideal audience be looking for? What are the words they're going to use? What are some of the phrases that they might search? And we want to make sure that we include those in our titles and in our captions to help those algorithms serve our content more."
"So I've learned over the years, there is…a very distinct difference between marketing for a product based business and marketing for a service based business."
"My perspective has always been to just give, and the right people will find me."
