Hey KZbin fam! 👋Are you all feeling more knowledgable about Instagram SEO? What's a new tip that you learned? 👀

As they say, “Never say Never!” I never thought I could be so interested in SEO and yet the knowledge, your teaching styles and the way you connect with your audience is SO good! SEO is something I’ve been meaning to look into and you made it interesting and fun. Thank you for what you do!

[@Highseasonco]

So welcome! SEO is really key for reach, growth and exposure in general, so it's a great skill to know. Thank you so much for the kind words!! :) - C

You guys are the best! Thank you

You are too kind!!! Thanks for being here. 🤍 - T

[@twiinkleycakes6449]

Thank you for this info!! A lot of instagram coaches will say to stop using hashtags and it worried me a little bit so thanks for setting the record straight 😊

[@Highseasonco]

So welcome! Interesting, that seems very counterproductive, there's no data or information that we've seen that would suggest to stop using hashtags. Go for it! - C

What kind of camera do you use to film? I really would love a video on technology to elevate SM content.

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Kim! We use a Fuji X-T4. We actually did a video on all of our equipment a couple years back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJbYeWeYlp59itU - C

Lovin the new beard.. and she's a very beautiful black woman 🛐 My question is, does "bullying" reduce your reels reach significantly? One time i accidentally used the f word in the comments section as a joke, and my comment got taken down.. and i lost the "invite collaborator" feature on my account since then.. I decided to create a new account, but the new account also didn't have the feature... So I'm feeling discouraged at the moment.. were my 75 reel drafts for nothing? 😭 Will i not get views, no matter how much i optimise, hook, edit my videos? Should I still keep creating reels and upload my 75 drafts, or nah?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi! Thanks for the kind words :) Cursing shouldn't correlate with losing a feature, that's kinda wild. The features are usually just rolled out slowly, so it makes sense why the new account doesn't have it, but I couldn't tell you why you lost it on the old one. Very odd. Keep posting and keep testing different approaches to Reels, and if you have the budget, just run ads as that's your sure firer guaranteed way to get that reach. Keep creating for sure! - C

[@DebzLife]

@@Highseasonco thanks

[@magiccutter85]

Great video guys !Have you guys heard that peoples reach / engagement recently taking a massive drop ? I’ve gone from normal 5k reel views to 100-150 the past 7 days/reels. It’s crazy

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Kenny, thank you! Yes indeed, it's dropped a lot lately, especially with Reels now that there's significantly more competition. Just keep testing and lean into what works! - C

[@Tair_Omari]

I dont think so - i got over 100k on reels and 10-20k minimum on most reels

[@Highseasonco]

@@Tair_Omari That's great! If you look through our comments section on almost any video, you'll see a lot of people mentioning how much their Reels views are dropping. I believe you're an outlier - good for you, keep doing whatever you're doing! - C

[@amethyst_moon12]

Any advice for increasing like to follower ratio? I recently reached 900 followers but my likes per post have gone down from 20 to barely 10 and I’m not sure how to fix it. 😢

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Amethyst, typically that revolves around engaging content. Keep testing different content approaches and lean into the ones that work. That should help increase your likes/engagement. - C

[@amethyst_moon12]

@@Highseasonco Thank you!

[@amethyst_moon12]

@Ankit Perhaps, but my content hasn’t really changed. Sometimes I get a lot of likes and other times I don’t. Even if I use the same audio or same type of content. 😭

[@Lukas_Schaefer]

good tips, but this backround music is a bit too loud and annoying

[@Highseasonco]

Thanks for the feedback - C

[@Twominutedevotions]

Can you “fix” SEO on existing content?

[@Highseasonco]

You definitely can update all of the SEO on existing posts, which will help them for search. It won't help them in the algorithm as it prioritizes new content but it can certainly assist you in coming up more often in search - C

[@mynaturevideos5058]

Sir/madam.Posts appearing under hash tags for only 2 to 3 mins, my account lost engagement, no likes, comment's..even after deleting the post and reposted many times still facing the same issue.. please tell solution for this..

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, this is quite a complex answer that can't really be covered in a comment response. We've done a lot of videos on this topic, so check through our playlists but I'd definitely suggest not to delete and repost the same content over and over, that's only damaging your account - C

[@isntituseless-artdesigners55]

Still works the topic on Reels? I feel that IG stick with just that topic and doesn't show it to a more broad audience. Thanks :)

[@Highseasonco]

Reels topics work! They're pretty new so I'd imagine they'll focus on it for a while to come :) - C

[@camilotristancho6393]

Hey guys, I’ve got an instagram profile witha bunch on non optimized images (captions, hashtags and alt text). I’m about to implement all these changes. How long will it take for those changes to kick in (roughly) how often does instagram crawls content?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Camilo, I wouldn't worry too much about your older posts as they won't be shown to anyone in the algorithm anyway. They would likely benefit from the internal SEO, though, so that's up to you. Best bet is to start fresh with your new posts, I couldn't tell you a timeline, it used to be 6-8 weeks on Google so maybe it's similar to that, there's no word on that from anywhere that we've seen - C
