Tired of no-one seeing your posts? Here's how to fix that...

Instagram usually shows a new post to about 20% of your followers first.

If that first 20% engage quickly, IG shows the post to more people.

If they don’t, it quietly dies. So your job is to get fast engagement from the right people.

Signals the algorithm likes:

Comments on your post
People share it with others
People save your post
Reels watched all the way through
People visit your profile after seeing the post

3-step action plan to get more reach:

1️⃣ Post something that actually helps your audience. Make it useful. Solve one small problem parents care about (separation anxiety, making friends, easy practice at home).

2️⃣ Use a clear CTA that invites action.

3️⃣ Be active for 10–15 minutes after you post. Reply to every comment, ask follow-up questions, and like replies. Early replies = early engagement = more reach.

Caption starters you can copy

“Worried your child will struggle with separation on the first day? Here are 3 small things to try before class.”
“Parents: want a simple warm-up your child can do at home? Save this and try it tonight.”
“Tag a friend if you’d bring your little one to a free trial - they’ll thank you later.”
