What We Anticipate For 2022
As we move begin our marketing endeavors for 2022, it is important to take the time to look at possible trends and changes. The key to success lies in anticipation and planning accordingly.
Here is what we anticipate for 2022:
Instagram will be crawling posts for keywords this year. This means there will be a shift in the way marketers tackle SEO on the platform. The way Instagram used to function search wise was you could search by hashtag or username, now you can search by keywords. Instagram keywords will work together with Google’s algorithm, making it easier for results from Instagram to show up on Google. This has not been confirmed yet, but speculation in the community is high. The results of this shift are that it will change the way marketers post on Instagram and will shift the use of hashtags. For better reach and engagement WEB ROI suggests to do keyword research for your Instagram content.
A very important shift will be happening for Facebook, we saw the use of hashtags shift in the last couple years on Facebook and this year there is yet another shift. Facebook will index hashtags within their own platform. This will make it easier to search within Facebook itself. Another important change we will see is the release of tools for businesses on organic growth. We don’t know what this will look like yet, but we do know that this will have a great impact on analytics.
Tik Tok
Tik Tok will start indicating which accounts on their platform are businesses. They are making it easier for businesses to interact with their platform by optimizing business pages. Our suggestion is to set up a Tik Tok account sooner rather than later, so when you can make the switch to a business account, your brand will already have content out there and be recognizable.
Social Commerce
Something that we have seen grow in 2020 and that will continue to flourish this year is social commerce. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest will grow their social commerce tools, making it the mainstream way to shop. This is an easy way to reach new people fast, to save money and start selling quickly, especially for small businesses. We recommend setting up a social commerce profile for people who are not ready to make the dive into an ecommerce site.
