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.
 
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
 
Reels get like 90% of my view count now bc the algoritm pushes them to strangers fast af but ngl Stories are still absolute king for deep engagement and closing high-ticket sales bc that's where ur actual hardcore fans hang out
 
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.

Have you ever noticed, other story options like - polls and questions are getting better engagement rather than regular posts ?
 
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.

Hi everyone,
Do you still see good engagement from Instagram stories or are reels getting most of your attention now ?

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.
