We don’t know exactly what words the platform favors — but some people find out earlier than others. Behind the keywords may lie the algorithm’s quiet logic.
It Wasn’t About Filming — It Was the Way He Wrote
He said his videos had no edits, no effects, and never hit trending. But that week, he suddenly gained over 100 followers — and even he thought it was weird. He said the only thing that changed was a phrase he used: Sage One Bank Payments for Businesses — something he saw in an article. “The platform might not know me,” he said, “but maybe the system knows that word.”
Keywords Aren’t Magic — They’re How the System Recognizes You
He said this isn’t superstition — it’s just language logic. The platform doesn’t see your face or understand your editing skills, but it can read what words you’re using. He started testing more phrases like Sage One Banking and Sage One Bank Payments SA, placing them in his bio or comments. A few days later, his impressions and recommendations spiked.
It’s Not Just Content That Gets Pushed — Sometimes It’s the Description
He used to think only great content got views. But he realized that sometimes, the recommendation comes from what you say — not just what you show. One of his ordinary videos suddenly reached a wider audience just because he mentioned Customer Loyalty Digital Marketing. He now believes that these “description skills” might even matter more than the content itself.
He Tried to Build a Personal Wordlist
As his following grew, he started building a personal list of what he called “platform-friendly terms.” He browsed a lot of marketing content like Digital Marketing South Africa, Video Marketing, and even Digital Marketing Video Collection. He found that as long as the words were used naturally, the system tended to reward him with better reach. “The system doesn’t judge people — it judges words,” he said.
He Can’t Teach You What to Do — But He Can Remind You What to Watch
He said he’s not claiming these phrases always work, nor does he know when the system might change. But he’s sure of one thing: some people make amazing videos, but don’t get seen because the algorithm can’t recognize them through language. He’s no expert, but he said it best: “Knowing what the system can recognize might be the cheapest and easiest way to grow followers.”
