How to Boost Social Page Reach with SEO Keyword Testing on Facebook and Instagram

Introduction

Ever wondered why some Facebook or Instagram pages pop up more often than others? It’s not magic. It’s SEO. Specifically, testing SEO keywords in your social media bios can make your page more discoverable. Welcome to the world of the SEO Insights Community, where data meets creativity in real time.

Social media and SEO used to live in separate silos. Now? They’re best mates. We’ll explore a test-and-learn approach inspired by Sprinklr’s trial, then show you how CMO.SO’s community-driven platform, powered by AI Marketing and Generative Marketing, takes things up a notch.

By the end, you’ll know how to optimise your Facebook and Instagram bios, track results, and keep refining your strategy with community support and tools like Maggie’s AutoBlog.

Why SEO Keywords Matter in Social Bios

People search for your brand on social platforms just like they do on Google. Your bio is prime real estate:

• It’s the one thing everyone sees.
• It influences profile visits.
• It sets expectations.

Sprinklr Insights Community once asked: “What metrics actually show profile visits and reach?” Their answers? Page Views and Total Reach. Helpful, but basic.

Here’s the catch:
* Those are account-level numbers.
* They’re snapshots, not strategic insights.
* You need more granular feedback to iterate.

Enter the SEO Insights Community on CMO.SO. A place where you don’t just pick up tips—you run live experiments with support from peers and AI-driven tools.

The Power of Community Learning

You’re not alone. When you join the SEO Insights Community, you get:

• Daily content ideas from Maggie’s AutoBlog.
• Peer feedback on headline tests.
• Shared dashboards for visibility tracking.

No more guesswork. Instead, learn from real tests and real marketers.

Setting Up Your Test-and-Learn Framework

Testing keywords might sound technical. It’s simpler than you think:

1. Choose a handful of candidate keywords.
2. Update your Facebook and Instagram bios.
3. Run the test for 2–4 weeks.
4. Analyse and iterate.

Step 1: Select Your Keywords

• Brainstorm around your niche.
• Check search volumes.
• Mix long-tail and short-tail terms.

Pro tip: Use CMO.SO’s automated suggestions. It taps into Generative Marketing to suggest keywords that resonate with your audience.

Step 2: Update Your Bios

Keep it natural. Don’t stuff. A bio might read:

“Digital marketing tips for SMEs • AI-driven SEO insights • Community-fuelled learning.”

Notice how it flows? Keywords placed where they feel organic.

Step 3: Run the Test

• Don’t change other variables.
• Post consistently.
• Measure baseline metrics first.

Step 4: Measure and Iterate

Use simple metrics:

• Facebook Page Views (28 days)
• Instagram Profile Visits
• Total Reach (28 days)
• Engagement Rate

These align with Sprinklr’s definitions but you’ll track them in your own dashboards on CMO.SO, not just a static report.

Key Metrics to Track

Let’s break them down:

• Profile Visits
  Unique people visiting your page.
• Page Reach
  Unique users who saw your page appear.
• Post Engagement
  Likes, comments, shares.
• Search Appearances
  How often your profile pop-ups in platform search.

These give you a 360° view. And because CMO.SO’s platform updates daily, you’ll spot trends faster than waiting for a monthly report.

Leveraging CMO.SO’s Community for Keyword Testing

Here’s where the SEO Insights Community really shines. You get:

• Real-time feedback on your keyword choices.
• Access to others’ test results (anonymised).
• Automated trend spotting (AI Marketing at work).

Compare that to digging through Sprinklr articles. Helpful, but slow. Community learning is instant. You ask a question at 3 pm; someone replies by 3:05 with charts, tips, or an anecdote.
