Slag Tag Media Update: Instagram Doubles Down on Original Content
If your welding business has been relying on reposted videos or shared content, now is a good time to rethink your strategy. Instagram continues to prioritize original content, expanding its recommendation system to reward creators and businesses that publish their own photos, videos, and educational posts. Accounts that primarily repost someone else’s content are becoming less likely to appear in Explore and other recommendation surfaces. At the same time, Instagram is continuing to improve creator insights and analytics, giving business owners a clearer picture of which posts are reaching new audiences and generating engagement.
For welders and trade businesses, this is actually an advantage. Every custom fabrication, repair, restoration, or shop project is unique. Instead of reposting viral welding clips, document your own work. A 30 second walkthrough of a finished project, a welding tip, or a behind the scenes look at your shop has a better chance of building trust with both Instagram’s algorithm and potential customers. Authentic content is becoming one of the strongest signals for long term organic growth.
What this means for your business
This week, challenge yourself to replace one repost with one original piece of content. Film a quick project update, introduce a tool you use every day, or explain why you chose a specific welding process. The goal is not perfection. It is consistency. Original content helps establish your expertise, improves your chances of being discovered, and creates a stronger connection with potential customers looking for a welding professional they can trust.
