Background of the study
Social media algorithms play a critical role in determining the visibility of digital content, directly affecting audience reach and engagement. Digital media companies in Kaduna rely on these algorithms to disseminate content to targeted audiences. This study investigates how social media algorithms influence content visibility for a digital media company by analyzing factors such as engagement, timing, and content quality (Ibrahim, 2023). The research examines algorithmic changes across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and evaluates how these changes affect content ranking, feed placement, and overall visibility. By integrating quantitative data from social media analytics with qualitative insights from digital marketers, the study aims to uncover the mechanisms behind algorithm-driven content curation. Challenges such as platform biases, content saturation, and unpredictable algorithm updates are also considered. The findings will offer actionable insights into optimizing content strategies to enhance visibility and ensure that quality content reaches a broader audience (Adebayo, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Digital media companies in Kaduna face difficulties in ensuring optimal content visibility due to opaque and frequently changing social media algorithms. Despite producing high-quality content, inconsistent algorithmic behavior can result in reduced reach and engagement (Chinwe, 2023). The lack of transparency in how algorithms prioritize content makes it challenging for marketers to adapt strategies effectively. This study aims to address these issues by investigating the impact of social media algorithms on content visibility and identifying the key factors that influence algorithmic ranking. The goal is to provide a framework for digital media companies to optimize their content for better visibility and audience engagement.
Objectives of the study:
To examine the influence of social media algorithms on content visibility.
To identify factors that affect algorithmic content ranking.
To propose strategies for optimizing content for improved visibility.

Its findings will enable marketers to adjust strategies for higher reach and engagement, contributing to improved content performance. The research provides a framework for optimizing digital media efforts amid changing algorithmic environments.
