Why it works
A mileage target is a concrete promise buyers care about. Naming the exact engine or trim makes the advice actionable.
Hook formulaThese [number] [products] will easily last [mileage], and one [part] decides if yours lasts or fails.
How to make it
- 1Put the mileage milestone in the title
- 2Name the specific engine, part or trim that decides it
- 3Compare options or rank picks against that milestone

How this is measured
- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
