Whether on Instagram or on other social networks, the visibility of our content is one of the most important factors; because if we create more and more new content but it does not reach enough public it will be forgotten and we will have done a job and its effort for nothing..
This is the same in the case of Instagram Reels, since there are several ways to increase their visibility and make them more striking and attractive to the viewer, although it is true that Instagram itself gives Reels a special role within your social network and your application.
Why does Instagram give more visibility to Reels within its social network?
It is true that when we want to give something a greater prominence, the best option will be to give it relevance and show it more than other content. And this is precisely what Instagram does with its Reels within the application.
Although it is a relatively new function, Instagram is placing special emphasis on making it a highly visible function so that it is used more and more within the social network.
It is a great bet within Instagram after the success of TikTok, in which a large amount of time and money has been invested. This is why the social network is going to reward the creation of this type of content over others, giving it greater visibility and showing it to more users..
For this reason, although we already know that Instagram rewards the creation of Reels, there are various formulas to give Reels a boost and reach even more people within Instagram; and precisely here we deal with all the points that can increase the visibility of your Reels so that you take them into account and apply them step by step.

We recommend you to observe the Reels that have many Likes, comments, shares; in short, a lot of interaction and see what filters they use. Use these same filters to create your Reels. If you see that a filter does not have much interaction or is not widely used, even if it is the one you like, do not hesitate to look for another similar one.

Be aware of Reel Trends
Content within social media is constantly changing, and the same is true on Instagram Reels. What is Trend a week ago can change and not be today. For this reason, it is important that you analyze what type of effects and content are the ones that are in trend and review it constantly to keep us current.
For this we recommend you review both the Reels of the specific profiles that are related to yours by theme and take a general look at the Reels suggested for you on Instagram.
Target a specific audience
Focusing on a theme or targeting a specific viewer profile is a great trick to retain the user and make our Reels stand out from all the content on Instagram.
Do it in an original way and try to leave your personal stamp on them, so that when a person looking at your suggested Reels finds several of yours, they know to recognize that it is the same content creator without seeing it.
Post at the right time
This concept is very important. Observe the amount of interaction that exists with it in the two hours following the publication of a Reel, and this will make you understand the visibility it has had. Taking this into account, you will reach the conclusion of what days and at what times it is better to publish Reels in your case.
In this way, doing the same job (creating a Reel) will achieve a much better result and make it much more productive for you.
Post Reels regularly
It is not enough to post a Reel and forget about it, since Instagram also rewards consistency when posting on its platform. This is why maintaining a weekly posting routine will help you increase the visibility of your Reels.
The general recommendation is to publish 3-4 Reels per week so that they have better visibility.
Share your Reels on and off Instagram
Sharing the Reels on other social networks and within Instagram itself on other sites such as the wall or stories will increase the visibility of your Reels. We will explain this point in more detail below in the next sections in this chapter of the course.
Do not repeat content in Reels
Within Instagram, original content is rewarded, and nothing else happens with Reels. For this reason, it does not seem like a good idea to use recycled content that you have already created and published on another social network to reupload it on Reels.
For this reason we recommend you create new original content taking into account all the previous points that we have mentioned to give your Reels greater visibility.
