Check account analytics before assuming reach has disappeared: compare retention, completion, shares, and posting consistency.

FIELD GUIDE

Organic and paid work together

Organic reach changes by post and audience; “dead” is not a useful diagnosis without analytics. Use organic posts to learn which demonstrations and comments attract the right buyers, then consider Spark Ads for posts with a credible offer and clear next step. Paid delivery can extend a winning post but cannot fix a weak product page. Compare view-to-profile, profile-to-site, and site-to-sale steps before declaring the algorithm the problem.

The first move

Check account analytics before assuming reach has disappeared: compare retention, completion, shares, and posting consistency.

Put it into practice

Make several distinct openings around one audience problem and test them with organic posts.

Check the outcome

Use paid distribution only when the content and offer already hold attention; ads cannot rescue a weak promise.
