Instagram A/B Testing FAQ

Does this test just captions or full posts?

We test the text content—your caption. simulated audience evaluate the writing, tone, and message. Visuals aren't included in the test.

Will this affect my Instagram algorithm?

No. SimAudience tests happen entirely off-platform. Nothing is posted to Instagram.

Can I test hashtag variations?

Yes! Include hashtags in your caption variants to see which combination resonates better with different demographics.

How do I interpret age breakdowns?

Instagram skews younger, but has users across all ages. Pay attention to how your target demographic reacts specifically.

Is my content kept private?

Yes. Your captions are only used for testing and deleted after 30 days. We never share or publish your content.

Can I test Reels captions too?

Absolutely. Test any Instagram text content—feed posts, Reels captions, Stories text, or carousel descriptions.

Important: SimAudience uses simulated audience modeled on demographic data. This is a synthetic simulation, not a survey of real Instagram users. Results should be used for directional guidance only.
