1) 1x Reel per day is definitely the best.
2) Reel - Carroussel also performs good, we're seeing a surge of them since quite some time already.
3) I never say this enough : trigger the algorythm with the main account (where the audience is being funneled) is most probably the second most important aspect for preserving an healty account, after the posting quality. Engage!
Except paid Ads, F/U and Mother/Child work very well. Especially since there's almost no one automating IG. Follows are being noticed.

Right now consistency matters more than anything I see better results with daily reels or at least a few times a week using short engaging clips carousel posts also still work well for reach and replying to comments quickly plus engaging with similar accounts helps push early visibility

Focus on Reels + consistency + engagement. Post daily with strong hooks, stick to one niche, and use simple keyword-based captions. Engage fast (reply/comment) and collaborate with similar creators. Consistency + value = growth.

Reddit now short Reels with strong hooks are working best for organic growth consistency matters more than posting too much also replaying to comments fast engaging in your niche and making shareable content seems to help reach a lot without ads

The essence of organic marketing today is a race to retain users and optimize algorithms through rigorous discipline. Dominate the Reels format by posting consistently every day within a single content niche, and focus all your efforts on the first few seconds to instantly capture viewers' attention. Instead of chasing meaningless likes, tailor your content to maximize saves and shares, combined with minimalist yet keyword-rich SEO captions. Finally, turn the comments section into a mini-forum by responding quickly, sparking discussion, and proactively connecting with other creators in the same industry to resonate with your audience.

For engagement, the basics still work: reply fast to comments, ask simple questions, interact with similar niche accounts, and use content that makes people save or share. I’d avoid bots or fake engagement because it usually hurts more than it helps long term

Without paid ads, consistency with Instagram Reels and focusing on high SEO-optimized captions is your best bet. Try to create highly shareable or savable content, as the current algorithm heavily favors saves and shares over simple likes. Another overlooked strategy is engaging genuinely in the comments of larger accounts within your niche right after they post; it drives highly targeted profile visits organically.
