Reels with trending audio are well-liked by Instagram’s algorithms and are heavily promoted across the entire app experience.

So, what does this mean for you?

Reels get favored by the algorithm and appear more on Instagram’s Explore page–making them a key strategy for improving discovery and growth.

However, this data only scratches the surface of your post engagement and interactions. 

Using Vista Social’s Reels direct publishing capabilities provides you with detailed analytics to measure, track, and optimize your Reels performance — all from one intuitive analytics dashboard.
