How can i post on social media from Europe, and my content is suggested in the USA?

[CoinMamba2]

Hello guys, i've tried everything, and still my content on instagram and facebook is not being recommended to the people from USA.

1. I tried posting from wiped phone with Proxy and GPS spoof, didn't worked

2. I bought VPS from hostinger, connected it with Postiz, and used VPN 100% of the time, and still the content is being pushed in my country.

I am opening another business, and social media is really important to me, and i want my content to be recommended in the USA, because my business is ecom and i am selling to US customers.

Any solution for this?
I am willing to pay if someone helps me handle this.

Thanks!

I think location alone is not enough Social platforms also look at audience signals content language engagement and who interacts with your posts Building engagement with US users is probably more important than only changing IP or location

From my experience, instagram can take quite a long time to adjust your feed and recommendations based on location. I remember when I was in Serbia, it still showed me mostly USA content for almost a week, even with a local sim card. Only later it started showing more local content. After that, I used a proxy connected to my home pc, and the feed slowly went back to my usual region after around 3 to 5 days. So I would not expect instant changes just because you changed ip or gps once. I am also not sure a usa vps is the best option here, because it is still a server ip. Platforms usually trust residential or mobile traffic more than datacenter or server ips. Also location is probably not the only signal. So my recomendation is take some residential or mobile proxy.

For purely Facebook, maybe you should buy some US followers from Meta Ads. If your followers love your Facebook content, they would engage and as a result your content would be recommended to other US users.

But for reels and shorts, according to replies on this my thread on the same subject, you don't need to use proxies or any thing of that nature. The platforms would recommend to users if it finds your content interesting enough.

I don't think it's only about the IP or device. Meta seems to rely on a lot of signals, including who engages with your content in the beginning. If your first audience is mostly local, that's often where distribution starts.

Using VPNs, proxies, or GPS spoofing usually doesn't help because Instagram and Facebook rely more on audience engagement, account history and content relevance than your IP address. Focus on creating US-focused content, posting during US time zones, using relevant hashtags and running a small US-targeted ad campaign to help train the algorithm.

Yes Instagram takes a while to change your location, you just have to keep posting in that location and keep checking

Main factors considered by Meta include engagement of the audience, account history, relevancy of the content, and signals from users.

I would suggest creating US-relevant content, posting during US time zones, optimizing your account for US market, and possibly run some small scale engagement or awareness campaign targeting US users.

Are you already receiving engagement from US users or your audience currently consists mostly of local country users?

I think @Lukmat has a guide on how to do this.

I'd stop treating the IP as the main lever and run this as a controlled audience-signal test. Meta seems to learn geography more from who watches, saves, shares, and clicks than from where the account logs in. A VPS can actually add another odd signal because it's a datacenter IP.

For the next 10-15 posts I'd keep the device and connection stable, use US-specific creative/copy/pricing, publish in the target US time zone, and seed the first viewers with a small Meta campaign restricted to the exact US audience you want. Then track non-follower reach by country in Insights. Don't mix in local followers or local engagement during the test, because that can keep reinforcing the current audience cluster.
The other thing we do is I have a phone farm in the USA. SO all my devices are actually inside the USA, even if ppl posting are outside the country.

Just a phone and proxy worked for me. Later I added an US sim card just to strengthen

Yes you need to use IP from USA but is not enough alone ........ you need also to have engagement from us is important and audience on your account from USA to be able to promote the content only to USA

 

[samloha45]

I am curious whether anyone has seen better results by focusing on audience engagement and content quality instead of location setup has anyone compared the two approaches with a new account targeting the US?

 

[gbmmedia]

Yes you need to use IP from USA but is not enough alone ........ you need also to have engagement from us is important and audience on your account from USA to be able to promote the content only to USA

false, you don't need "engagement" from usa. We launch new IG accounts daily with proper warm up, using our phone farm. The KEY is 1) Make it look like a normal, real account
2) We use cell phone SIM cards from the USA and USA cell towers.

This has produced 100% bulletproof system.

The use of VPNs, proxies etc are a part of a bygone era that ultimately you will lose.

That setup makes sense having the devices physically in the US likely provides more consistent location signals than relying on a vps alone.

Maybe the account was originally created and built up in the EU, so Instagram/Facebook has learned that your audience is primarily there. If most of your early interactions came from the EU, it can take time and consistent U.S.-focused engagement for the recommendations to shift.

 

[onlineservice123]

Most people focus too much on IPs. In my experience, the first audience that engages with your content has a bigger impact on where Meta keeps distributing it. If your early reach is local, that's often where the algorithm stays.

the main thing is training the algorithm with the right audience signals. content language, early engagement, nd US-focused relevance usuay matter more than simply changing IP or location.

 

[Chunkulus]

Your two attempts both pushed on the same signal, which is why neither moved anything. The geography Meta uses for recommendations is seeded mostly by who already engages with the account, plus the language you post in and the audio track, and only loosely by session IP. If the account already has a mostly local audience baked in, the realistic fix is a small US targeted paid campaign to reseed who engages first, or a clean account started that way, rather than more proxy work. Also the other solution is to rent us phones on us sims as sims are cheaper and tend to have account last longer than vpns and proxies.

Social media platforms decide what to recommend based on a mix of engagement signals, relevance, and (to varying degrees) location. Posting from Europe does not automatically prevent your content from being suggested in the usa many European creators reach large American audiences organically.
