How do your audience's daily habits affect their format preferences?
Search engines also have format preferences! They love comprehensive guides for competitive keywords. They reward fresh, frequently updated content like news articles.
Videos often rank well for "how-to" searches. Lists perform strongly for comparison queries.

Format directly impacts sharing potential. Visual content gets shared 40x more than text alone. Interactive content generates 2x more engagement than static content.
But don't chase trends blindly. Choose formats that align with your strategic goals and audience needs.
