Design for Queries, Not Feeds

Social is now a primary discovery engine, so content must be engineered to answer specific searches like “best rooftop cafe Casablanca” with clear hooks, on‑screen keywords, and captions aligned to intent, not just vibes.

Roughly two‑thirds of consumers have used social search in 2025, which means visibility depends on query‑matching metadata, spoken keywords in the first three seconds, and thumbnail text that mirrors real searches. Build a living keyword map by journey stage—Discover, Compare, Buy—and produce snackable clips and carousels that directly resolve each query with local context, creator proof, and a native CTA.

Convert Search with Live + Human Creators

Interest in live shopping is climbing globally, so add “live proof” to social‑search journeys with timed events that answer comparison queries and drop limited offers in‑stream to turn intent into carts.

In the U.S. alone, tens of millions will use live commerce in 2025, and brands that pair human creators with interactive demos see higher conversion than static product pages for the same queries.

While virtual influencers are gaining attention, most brands still prioritize human creators for trust, so blend creator‑led clips optimized for search with occasional virtual cameos where they genuinely add clarity to specs or styling.
