A few weeks ago here on Talk Insta to Me, we talked about five simple ways to increase your reach.In today’s episode, I want to go a lot deeper.Because if you really want to understand why some posts take off and others completely flop, you need to understand what actually drives reach, aka the signals the Instagram algorithm looks at.In this episode, we unpack why beautiful videos don’t automatically get reach, and what creators & business owners often misunderstand about reach.✨ SPECIAL AUGUST-ONLY OFFER ✨ - How to make the algorithm adore you ($597)- Which includes How to make Google Adore you ($97) - AND Hooked - The Program ($197)for just $397 (instead of $891). http://evelongfield.com/algoConnect IG to Google Search Console: http://evelongfield.com/gscSo you want to start a city guide?http://evelongfield.com/cityguide

There’s something I’ve been sitting with for a while now...Something I’ve gone back and forth on sharing… because it’s personal, a little uncomfortable, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk about it publicly.But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that not sharing it would be doing a disservice, especially to those of you who are in a similar place, feeling the same things, or quietly questioning certain parts of your business or yourself.So in this episode, I’m opening up.Not with a polished lesson or a “here’s the answer” kind of episode, but with honesty, reflection, and a conversation I think a lot of people need to hear right now ❤️I won’t spoil it here, but if you’ve ever: – felt a shift happening – questioned what you’re building – or had something on your mind you weren’t sure you were allowed to say out loudThis one’s for you.✨ SPECIAL AUGUST-ONLY OFFER ✨ - How to make the algorithm adore you ($597)- Which includes How to make Google Adore you ($97) - AND Hooked - The Program ($197)for just $397 (instead of $891). http://evelongfield.com/algoConnect IG to Google Search Console: http://evelongfield.com/gscSo you want to start a city guide?http://evelongfield.com/cityguide
