A social media algorithm is the ranking system that decides which posts appear in someone’s feed, recommendations and search results, and in what order. Networks no longer show everything chronologically: they predict what each person is most likely to watch, like, comment on, save or share.
For a small business, the algorithm is the gatekeeper of free reach. Signals that matter on most networks include how long people watch, whether they save or share, how quickly a post gets early reactions, and whether people come back to your account. Nobody outside the network knows the exact formula, so the practical answer is consistency and content people actually want.
Example: a bakery posts a 15-second video of croissants coming out of the oven. Many viewers watch it twice and send it to friends, so the network shows it to more people nearby who have never followed the bakery.
