[@SF-yx2fg]

Hi Millie! I tried putting alt text on a carousel post (2 photos) and used hashtags as well. But my post didn’t appear on the hashtag pages. I did tag my film account with it and I was wondering if tagging and alt texts affect the hashtag strategy?? I did notice that more of my followers saw my post on the home page but the reach for new accounts are way too low.

[@EmpathAwaken]

Thanks for the tips Millie. How do i know the alt text setting is enabled when writing my caption? because i dont see it as shown on yours when typing.

[@laurasmith6257]

SEO on websites is the core reason most people's small businesses don't show up on google. I'm super blessed that my partner is an SEO professional - but he doesnt know about how it applies to IG so I am so grateful you made this video!

[@MillieAdrian]

Ahhh this is perfect then! Also, you are SOOO lucky your partner isn't scared of SEO like most people are (myself included) 😂🙈

[@bilalmoon]

Are in video captions/subtitles a piece of SEO? If so, is it only if you use the platform's native autocaption feature? Asking because I prefer capcut for subtitles to IG's native one but if it impacts visibility, would you recommend just sticking with the platform feature for this?

[@christinagracewhite]

Thank you ☺️

[@MillieAdrian]

You’re welcome 😊

How do you finalize on which SEO nameplate to go with if you are faced with more than one ?

I always love learning about IG SEO and this video was so helpful! Thank you!!

[@MillieAdrian]

You're welcome Sam 😁😁 SEO is turning into one of my favorite topics!

[@lekitchengarden6773]

Think of it as a customer enter a store to buy items. As a store manager where are you gonna place your products so that the customer will find it easily. It is as simple as that but need planning and strategy.

[@MillieAdrian]

omg I LOVE that perspective!!!

[@lindsaykastuk4071]

Question! Can you get a social media audit like you can get a website audit? In terms of what search words you come up for most? So you know what SEO keywords to use most? (I hope this makes sense) lol thanks!

[@warrensabastienanderson]

I think it doesn't work like that because most social media platforms are like closed systems with their own search engines. What I recommend is exactly what Millie is recommending, the results of your website audit or your niche should be how you frame your social media keyword strategy.

[@kimiechiflowers]

What would be better for SEO for my username using using perion or underscore? because obviosly the name I want is take so I need to use period or underscore

[@NatGreenOnline]

Sooooo basically keyword stuffing wherever possible but in a natural, non-spammy way ;)

[@MsLilac88]

I just reached 8900 subs on KZbin recently after working very hard on KZbin these 11 years. 😊

Regarding name plate , if we write name - a life coach, is it ok or name- life coach is better ?
