Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Reel #1 crushed 18,528 likes and 373 comments by exposing client rush vs gritty reality in a hilarious skit. This relatable humor pillar owns 35% of content and proves the top growth lever: tap universal construction pains with questions and 😂 emojis. Post #3's checklist CTA pulled 1,332 likes too, showing value bombs convert skeptics to DMs. Yet 0.9 posts/week starves the algorithm, while 25% off-topic relics like #10 tank cohesion. Scale humor to 4x weekly on Wednesdays for takeoff. Pivot old posts to archives. Layer CTAs everywhere to harvest 4204 followers into clients.
