3 · Content Pillars

Pick 3 of 9. Mismatched pillars hurt voice coherence.

Each pillar shows its fit on each of your platforms, out of 100. The better your pillars fit a platform, the more your posts there reach and engage, and a pillar above 65 also builds that platform's algorithm favor.

4 · Cadence and Format

How often you post on each selected platform, and in what format.

TikTok

Instagram

YouTube

Format: how much of what you post is made in each platform's native format. Mostly native earns the platform's algorithm favor each drop, and its content costs 6% more to produce there. Mostly repurposed costs favor, and mixed does neither.
