Algor-what? How Social Media Algorithms Work (And How to Outsmart Them)
Organic reach has been continually declining across platforms, and for 2025, it’s clearer than ever that brands can’t rely on it. The rules have changed. To stay visible, marketers must understand how algorithms work as well as how to be flexible. Learn more about what’s actually going on “behind the scenes” and how algorithms work.

A Walk-and-Talk with Our Founder
Get to know the Tell Your Story team! In our next installment of Humans of Tell Your Story, our fearless leader and founder, George Rafeedie, talks about the agency’s history, his go-to karaoke song, and his dream job of owning a Waffle House.

SEO Strategies in the AI Era
Traditional SEO techniques once guaranteed visibility, but search has changed. AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity now deliver direct answers. This shift means that conventional SEO tactics alone are no longer enough. To remain visible, your content must be designed in a way that allows AI systems to process, extract, and cite it easily. That’s where an AI-optimized content strategy comes in, built on both smart technical setup and strategic content creation.

Happy Halloween!
We’re celebrating one of the spookiest, most fun narratives of the year! Whether you’re crafting a captivating social media campaign or brewing up some buzz with a killer PR strategy, remember that a great story is always the secret ingredient. So, if you have little ones enjoying the holiday, or if you are old enough to remember when costumes consisted of suffocating plastic face masks, let Halloween bring out the child in all of us and have some good memories and stories to tell.
From all of us at Tell Your Story Inc., we wish you a day filled with treats, not tricks.
