Shadow banning? Not a thing.

In this episode of The Social Circle, Candace and Jen break down the real reasons your content might not be performing—and it has nothing to do with an invisible Shadow ban.

You’ll learn:

• Why blaming the algorithm is holding you back

• What actually impacts visibility and reach

• The key metrics to track (and how to use them)

• The truth about consistency, SEO, and engagement in 2025

• Why copy-paste strategies aren’t sustainable (and what to do instead)

We also share insights directly from Instagram head Adam Mosseri, the Meta Creators Group, and our own results across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

🎯 If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing—this one's for you.
