- Does Viral Finder analyze Reels specifically, or all post types together?
- Viral Finder retrieves all post types — Reels, carousels, images, and videos — and ranks them together by viral score. You can see at a glance whether Reels dominate an account's top performers, or whether other formats compete with them in a given niche. The data shows which format the algorithm and audience reward most in your specific space.
- How do I find viral Reels in my niche with Viral Finder?
- Search 3–5 accounts in your niche and look at their top-scoring posts. Note which ones are Reels — their viral scores, topics, and length patterns. Accounts where Reels consistently dominate the top rankings are telling you the audience in that niche prefers video content.
- What Reels insights can I get from studying competitor Reels?
- By looking at which competitor Reels score highest, you can identify: which topics drive the most Reels engagement in your niche, whether long or short Reels perform better, what hooks (text overlays, opening scenes) the top-scoring Reels use, and which audio choices appear in high-performing content.
- Are Reels outperforming other Instagram formats right now?
- It varies by niche. Viral Finder lets you answer this question for your specific niche rather than relying on platform-wide generalizations. In some niches, educational carousels still outperform Reels; in others, Reels dominate. Check the data for your niche rather than following generic advice.
- Is Reels research available in the free plan?
- 3 free searches with no credit card required give you access to full post-type breakdowns including Reels performance data for any public account.
