Content Policy

Plan posts in advance, for example, using the Preview app, taking into account the impact of publications depending on the effect we want to achieve from each of them (ER/CTR/Followers).

At the end of the month, we will collect analytics on the most successful and unsuccessful publications. Using this data, we will adjust the strategy or stick to it until achieving the set KPIs.

Why Video Content Is Essential in Social Media

Increased Engagement Video content captures more user attention and retains it longer compared to text or static images. People tend to spend more time on videos, which increases brand interaction and boosts engagement.


Promotion Algorithms Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok prioritize video content in their algorithms. This means videos are more likely to appear in users' feeds, leading to higher visibility and reach.


Enhanced Storytelling Videos allow for richer storytelling, enabling brands to convey their message more effectively. Through a combination of visuals, sound, and motion, videos can evoke emotions and create a stronger connection with the audience.


Higher Conversion Rates Videos can drive higher conversion rates by providing more detailed information about properties and services. They allow potential clients to visualize themselves in the properties, making the decision-making process easier.
