• Call-to-Action (final 3-5 seconds): Follow prompt, comment question, engagement driver
• Trending Audio: Use current trending sounds when authentic to brand
• Text Overlays: Strategic text to reinforce message and aid completion

Algorithm Optimization

• Post during peak engagement hours for target audience (typically 6-10 AM, 7-11 PM EST)
• Use 3-5 relevant hashtags (mix of viral, niche, and branded)
• Respond to comments within first hour for engagement boost
• Encourage saves, shares, and duets (highest algorithm signals after completion rate)
• Consistent posting schedule (minimum 3-5x per week for algorithm favor)
