Abstract:

This study aims to explore how social media algorithms influence brand visibility and customer engagement for new ventures, identifying key strategies and challenges faced by these businesses. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights from ۱۸ participants, including founders and social media managers of new ventures. Participants were selected using purposive sampling to ensure relevance to the study's focus. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software, with data saturation achieved after ۱۵ interviews. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify recurring themes and subthemes related to social media algorithms, brand visibility, and customer engagement. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: the impact of algorithms on brand visibility, customer engagement through social media, and challenges in leveraging algorithms. Within these themes, subcategories included platform-specific algorithm changes, content optimization techniques, timing and frequency of posts, interaction with algorithmic features, engagement tactics, content personalization, influencer collaborations, resource allocation, platform dependency, knowledge gaps, and data privacy concerns. Participants highlighted the need for continuous adaptation to algorithm changes, effective content strategies, and personalized engagement tactics to enhance visibility and engagement, while also facing significant challenges such as resource constraints and maintaining ethical practices. The study concludes that understanding and effectively leveraging social media algorithms is essential for new ventures to enhance brand visibility and customer engagement.
