| Premium | Premium+ safest for links (~0.25-0.3% engagement) |
| Preview | Title ≤70 chars, description ≤200 chars; 1200×628 image |
Premium Impact
| Tier | Reach | Link posts |
|------|-------|------------|
| Regular | <100/post | 0% engagement |
| Premium ($8) | ~600/post | ~0.25-0.3% |
| Premium+ ($40) | ~1550/post | Safest for links |
Premium ~10x reach vs Regular. If X is core channel, Premium helps.

| Profile | 400×400 | Avatar |
| Header | 1500×500 (3:1) | Banner |
| File | ~5MB; JPG/PNG | Over 5MB may compress |
