Engagement importantly helps you work with the social media algorithms
Social Media Algorithms love good engagement and will reward you for it. This is also a critical reason why great social media engagement is so important.

Social Media platforms use cunning algorithms to decide what order to display posts on their users’ screens. They will reward accounts that engage most with their followers by placing their post higher.
Remember to respond to every comment and message to your own posts. This will make your fans feel really valued.
