Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Authentic Khandeshi recipe reels dominate engagement, with post 1 hitting 5526 likes and 139 comments by showcasing full processes like kadhi funke. Cultural traditions like post 0's 2900 likes build loyalty through nostalgia, while promotions subtly monetize. At 2.1 posts/week, low cadence starves growth despite 8.5k followers primed for viral food content. The biggest leak is inconsistency diluting algorithm momentum from peaks like post 15's 4030 likes on mirchi paani. Ramp authentic recipes with proven hooks to double cadence and capture untapped comment-driven virality.
