Do Instagram stories still help with engagement ?

Unfortunately I cannot create direct tech support calls or run ad campaigns for BSOD remote support keywords as there are strict compliance restrictions on tech support scams. Your best bet is to vet verified pay pe-call networks or search the marktplace for alternative, compliance-friendly traffic providers.
 
Instagram stories still play an important role in engagement, even though reels usually get more reach and attract new followers. stories are great for staying connected with your existing audience.
 
Use Reels for cold reach, but save **Stories for high intent conversions since that's your warm audience. On LinkedIn, ignore external links and run a native PDF carousel** with a 'comment for the DM link' hook to force-multiply your organic reach and inbound leads.

Yes, Instagram stories are still important it helps to increase value of your account , it makes your followers to stay connected with you.
 
stories still help but mainly for keeping your existing audience engaged rather than reaching new people. reels usually bring discovery while stories help maintain connection and boost interaction with followers.
 
While Reels are for the reach and fresh traffic, Stories are where you develop and make money Reels are only for the top of the funnel and discovery whereas Stories have the engaged audience, where the stickers work in getting paid out
 
It helps engage your current follower base; that is what stories are good for. When you post stories, you followers know your active and it helps the profiles engagement go up since you show up closer to the front of their home page.
 
Stories are currently a great option for placing links in them, because adding a link in your bio increases the risk of losing your account
 
stories don't work for me but you can try
i suggest to focus on reels
 
Reels bring me more reach now, but Stories still help keep followers engaged and build a stronger connection.
 
Stories still get good engagement for me. Reels get most of the reach and new followers, but Stories are usually better for keeping your current audience engaged. They do different jobs, so I wouldn't ignore either.
 
In my opinion, Reels are now the key to keeping users engaged on Instagram. They currently receive the most attention and offer the greatest potential for maintaining audience interest and expanding your reach.
 
Best results come from using both strategically together. However reels dominate reach and discovery now. Instagram stories still help with engagement especially for retaining followers and driving quick interactions like polls Q&As and DMs.

Both still have value, but they serve different purposes. Reels are generally better for reaching new audiences and driving growth, while Stories are great for engaging existing followers and building stronger relationships. The best results usually come from using both together rather than relying on only one format.

Yes, Stories still work really well for engagement. They help you stay visible every day, and features like polls, questions, and stickers make people more likely to interact with you.
 
In my experience, Stories are good for existing followers, while Reels are driving most of the new audience.
 
Stories are good for engagement with the audience you already have, Reels are good for engagement to make audience and those who are seeing your content for the first time.

Reels brings new engagement and followers, Stories keep the existing ones engaged. Both are different and important at their own roles.
