Meta just released an experimental new A\/B testing feature<\/ins><\/a> for Reels on Facebook, allowing creators to experiment with different captions and thumbnail images to create the perfect clips. The tools are part of the pre-existing Professional Dashboard, which already provides plenty of useful metrics, like view count insights and more.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works. When creating a Facebook Reel on your mobile device, you can insert up to four different caption and thumbnail combinations. This starts a testing phase for the content. Whichever one gets the most views will automatically be displayed on your page as the \u201cwinning variant.\u201d It seems fairly simple.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s also working on incorporating generative AI to help create unique caption and thumbnail options, though that feature is still being worked out. The ultimate goal here is to ensure user-generated content gets as many eyeballs as possible. This increases Facebook\u2019s traffic and potentially gives creators some money<\/ins><\/a> in the process, thanks to Meta\u2019s bonus program.<\/ins><\/a><\/p>\n

To that end, there\u2019s a new system in place that awards achievement badges for leaping past certain metrics. A digital badge isn\u2019t as good as money, but it\u2019s something (I guess.) Meta does say that these badges could help creators achieve increased visibility of their content, via an awarded Rising Creator label.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the only tool that rolled out today. There\u2019s also a new feature that lets you quickly whip up Reels from pre-existing video posts and livestreams. The Professional Dashboard has new content management tools to help users keep track of all of this stuff. Previously, creators could only access content performance on a post-by-post basis, but now the dashboard gives you a more holistic view of things.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that this feature dropped on Facebook and not Instagram, as Reels are more integral to the latter than the former. We\u2019ll update you if and when the company debuts these tools for Instagram users.<\/p>\n
