For those uploading Reels consistently, are you getting better reach by using trending audio at low volume, or does original audio with good retention perform better for you lately?
Do you get reach by uploading Daily?

On FB you can have a single image reel if you add audio to it. Also the same reel over and over pitch after pitch...insane but they allow it. It will be your copy that decides if viewer sticks around or not.

certainly, consistency help, but I believe retention is a lot more important than posting on a daily basis. trending audio might assist you with discoverability, but I feel a solid hook nd watch time works better in most cases.

I'd say original audio with strong retention matters more.Trending audio can help with discovery, but however, as far as i understand. I wouldn’t force it just for the trend. If the Reel Keeps people watching, that seems to be the bigger factor.
But tbh i does not thinks the daily part was what makes the magic happen. some videos get promoted simply because they has been watched twice or shared or viewed by people for an extended periods of tym .

yeah, same here. to my mind, the consistency helps you have more chances of succeeding, but bad retention will mean that daily posting would not make much difference.

I think it depends more on the content than posting frequency. Have you noticed a difference between trending audio and original audio?
i have seen original sounds beat trending sounds even when the reel itself was gud. the sound helps u gain the attention of viewers but retention lets u knows if any one were interested enough to keep watching untill .
Posting on a daily basis could be useful for consistency; however, I do not expect that to make any difference in terms of gaining reach. i have seen reels that were posted infrequently outperform those posted daily just because they were able to grabs my attention within the first couple of seconds.

Spot on content quality is always king. I have noticed trending audio gets a broader push on the Explore page but original audio brings in higher quality engagement when the video speaks directly to a specific niche. Which one has been driving better conversions for you?

Good retention with original audio matters more, but trending audio at low volume can still help if it fits the reel naturally.
