Adapting to Social Media Algorithm Changes with Think

In the fast-paced world of social media marketing, keeping up with algorithm changes can feel like a never-ending game of catch-up. Just when you think you’ve cracked the code, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) roll out updates that can upend your strategy. But fear not—at Think, we’re here to help you navigate these changes to ensure your social media platforms remain up to date.

There are many ways you can remain updated. Our experts at Think suggest that you follow official channels and newsletters for the platforms you use the most; Instagram Creators, Facebook for Creators as well as Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram. You can also refer to Reddit or other forums to tap into what others are doing. These forums can definitely provide insight into trends and changes across platforms.

What is a Social Media Algorithm?

Let’s start from the top: defining what an algorithm is. In simple terms, a social media algorithm is a formula that determines what content appears in users’ feeds. It analyses data points like user behaviour, engagement, and content relevance to prioritise posts. As these factors constantly evolve, it’s essential to have a strategy that’s both reliable and adaptable.

The Never-Ending Game of Catch-Up

Social media platforms frequently tweak their algorithms, sometimes subtly and other times dramatically. These changes can disrupt your strategy but also present new opportunities. For instance, Instagram’s shift to favour short-form videos like Reels caught many brands off guard, but those who adapted quickly saw engagement spikes.

At Think, we help you stay ahead by monitoring trends and adjusting your strategy to maximise your reach. Our expertise in social media marketing ensures that your content remains engaging and relevant, regardless of algorithm changes.
