Meta Says That Link Posts on Threads Are Seeing Better Performance

This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Are you seeing more referral traffic from Threads of late? According to Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, the Threads team has been working to improve the reach of links in the app, with a view to encouraging more publishers and creators to post to the app. As per Mosseri: 'We've been working on making sure links are ranked properly. Links have been working much better for more than a month now.' Of course, 'ranked properly' doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be shown to more people. But as part of Meta's broader reformation of its moderation approach, it has pledged to showcase a wider breadth of content to more users, which should mean that links do indeed see better resonance. Though 'should' is the operative word here. Meta's history with link traffic has been rocky, with the platform upping link post reach at times, in order to lure in more publishers, then cutting it off again, whenever it decides to change its content priorities. But in theory at least, Threads should be a valuable driver of traffic, if it does embrace a more real-time news approach, in order to challenge X. Back in November, Mosseri claimed that the Threads algorithm doesn't actually downrank link posts, but: '…we don't place much value on [link clicks] and people don't like and comment on links much.' Though it has seemingly switched its approach of late, by allowing users to add more links to their Threads profile, and displaying link posts more often in the app's recommendations. Meta also added link performance analytics last month, so you can see how your link posts are actually driving traffic (or not). So it is seemingly making link posts a bigger focus, and therefore allowing more reach for link updates. But still, I don't know how much reliance I would put on any Meta app for traffic. According to Meta's latest 'Widely Viewed Content Report,' currently, 97.3% of all post views on Facebook in the U.S. do not include a link to a source outside of that app. That's actually a slight improvement on the previous report (+0.6% on link posts), but it serves as a reminder that, if it could, Meta would prefer to keep people in its apps, as opposed to referring them off to some other platform or website. Which makes sense, but it's important to keep this motivation in mind when assessing your Meta app referrals, and how much subsequent reliance you can put on that stream. Many businesses have learned the hard way that Meta giveth and Meta taketh away in equal measure. And while Threads should be focused on real-time updates, including relevant links, and it should rank link posts accordingly, that doesn't mean that it'll maintain any referral flows over time. But maybe, right now at least, you could be seeing more Threads referrals.

New Orlando-based marketing agency recommends businesses adapt AI optimization

Optimized AI search is one of this year's most buzzed-about marketing trends, and it's growing — fast — but not all marketing agencies are up to the challenge of incorporating this into their clients' strategies. The LMB Marketing Group specializes in helping businesses understand trends like generative search optimization (GSO) and answer engine optimization (AEO), how it relates to your business and implements effective strategies to capitalize on these trends alongside traditional tools like search engine optimization (SEO) and digital marketing. AI is changing the landscape AI-driven tactics will power a staggering 75 percent of all marketing activities this year, making it one of the hottest trends in how brands reach audiences right now.* But it's not just about automation; it's about leveraging the power of machine learning to understand customer behavior, predict trends and deliver truly impactful campaigns. 'Forty percent of Gen Z uses TikTok as their primary search tool,' according to Liz Mbwambo, founder of The LMB Marketing Group. 'Social media commerce is expected to boom in the next few years. Businesses need to raise visibility where their audience is looking for them, or risk losing relevancy.' Projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2028 according to Statista, social commerce is fundamentally changing the online shopping experience. So is AI. Integrating your sales and marketing efforts directly into social platforms is no longer optional, it's essential. Make it a multi-platform optimization strategy Siloed marketing efforts don't work anymore — especially online. Today's consumers expect a seamless experience across all touchpoints from their inbox to their Instagram feed. Platforms are converging and a brand's strategy needs to follow suit, leveraging analytics and automation to deliver cohesive customer journeys. For example, at its May Google I/O developer's conference, Google announced that AI mode in its search engine is more accurate than ever, providing 'AI Overview' search result summaries before brand URLs. There are more than 400 million people using the Gemini AI app, and there are more than 1.5 billion AI Overview users each month; people can even use Google AI to shop and try on clothes. You want to hire an agency that's going to get your content noticed in these spaces. expand Liz Mbwambo, founder of The LMB Marketing Group. Courtesy photo 'AI-powered search features are changing content discovery for everyone, making a multi-platform optimization marketing strategy crucial,' Mbwambo said. 'Relying on great SEO isn't enough. We know that and we're ahead of our peers, creating a much more integrated and diverse marketing strategy for businesses.' Such a marketing strategy incorporates AEO, GSO and generative engine optimization (GEO), which all refer to the same thing; giving brands the best chance of understandable content that can be used for search results no matter where (i.e. social media or Google, AI platforms) and how (i.e. photos, words or videos). There are billions of monthly voice and visual search queries that justify the need to optimize content for these emerging channels, too. Missing out here means ignoring a significant and growing segment of potential customers using virtual reality or augmented reality for searching, as well. Although SEO isn't going away, the boost in AI searches impacts the traditional 'click-through rate' measurement marketers use to identify return on investment (ROI). Despite a lower rate of click-through, businesses must add the ability for AI to mine the right content about their brand, so it's represented — and accurately — when a user asks AI simple to complex questions. As a result, experts suggest that despite the drop in click-through rates, the quality of those clicking through will grow. The key to getting this right also involves authenticity. While AI can generate content at scale, authentic, human-driven content continues to outperform AI. We bring a balance of both genuine, human connection and the efficiency of AI to build trust and resonate with your audience. Building trust also requires sound ethics and data privacy. Can your marketing do this right now? Businesses need to find a long-term partner for strategic marketing, not just a tactician to send email blasts and optimize web copy. 'It can feel overwhelming for businesses to navigate such a complex and quickly changing marketing landscape,' Mbwambo said. 'They need a partner that studies and adopts trends driving consumer behavior with brands to help them grow with smarter, multi-platform marketing. We consider ourselves partners with our clients. 'Plus, we've got some of the best content creators, account managers and strategists in the field right here,' she added. The LMB Marketing Group offers a complimentary consultation to discuss specific needs and how our marketing experts can help leverage AI trends to achieve a business's goals. We specialize in helping Orlando-area businesses drive growth. 'We provide full-service, data-driven marketing solutions that cover everything from strategy and content to paid media and local SEO, ' Mbwambo said. 'Our team knows the Orlando market, and how to get the results our partners want based on what they need.' Learn more about The LMB Marketing Group here.

Amazon and US rivals navigate volatile tariff landscape

The upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2025 arrives the United States amid widespread concern over shifting US-China trade policies, with tariff uncertainty casting a shadow over pricing, supply chains and sales strategies. Despite a temporary reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports, many e-commerce sellers and retail giants such as Amazon, Walmart and Target remain cautious ahead of one of the year's biggest online shopping events. Retail executives have repeatedly flagged the volatile tariff landscape as a top risk for their operations. Amazon's CFO Brian Olsavsky said the company's latest forecast reflects 'the general uncertainty' in global trade. His comments echoed warnings from Walmart and Best Buy leaders, who cited unpredictability around tariff levels and timing as a challenge for strategic planning. The U.S.-China tariff standoff had reached a peak earlier this year when import duties on Chinese goods soared to 145%. That prompted some brands to consider scaling back participation in Prime Day. A late-May agreement reduced those tariffs to 30%, offering temporary relief. Still, concerns remain as the legal status of tariffs continues to fluctuate, with pending court rulings expected to shape the near-term trade environment. Pattern, a commerce accelerator that works with brands across online marketplaces, reported scrambling to restock U.S. inventories after the tariff rollback. 'We were on the precipice,' said Brett Bardsley, the company's Chief International Officer, describing how airfreight and expedited shipping were used to fill gaps caused by earlier trade disruptions. For many sellers, Prime Day remains a high-stakes opportunity. More than 80% of Amazon Prime members surveyed in May indicated they plan to shop during the event—up from 68% in 2024—according to Tinuiti. Amazon is expected to stretch the sale across four days, doubling last year's duration. Still, not all brands are equally positioned. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing are weighing whether they can offer competitive discounts while absorbing a 30% tariff. Others, like Flaus, a maker of electric flossers, say the lowered tariffs cleared the way for full Prime Day participation without raising prices—for now. Amazon has said it is pleased with the response from selling partners and is working to help them adapt. But categories like electronics, which have tighter margins and higher exposure to Chinese sourcing, may proceed cautiously. Shares in Amazon rebounded sharply in May after the tariff deal, gaining 11% for the month. That followed months of volatility tied to trade developments and investor concerns about rising costs and consumer demand. The stock remains just below a key technical buy point as of early June. While Amazon's e-commerce platform has not seen a significant rise in average selling prices, other retailers are less optimistic. Walmart's CFO John David Rainey recently warned that tariffs remain 'too high,' suggesting that shoppers could see price increases in the months ahead. The Trump administration, however, has pushed back against such claims, arguing that the current tariff policy is manageable for most businesses. Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy maintains that the company is well-positioned to gain market share during uncertain periods, citing its performance during past disruptions. Analysts say that while summer sales could see a lift from the tariff reprieve, the broader retail sector must still contend with unresolved trade tensions, inflationary pressure and shifting consumer sentiment. As the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the legality of current tariffs, industry watchers say retail strategies for the rest of 2025 will likely hinge on how trade policies evolve—and whether businesses can continue to absorb new costs without passing them on to consumers.
