Every social media platform truncates long posts with a "See More" or "Read More" link. Your hook — the most important part of your post — must appear before that cutoff. Use the WordMetrics Social Media Counter to ensure your key message is visible the moment someone sees your post in their feed, without needing to click to expand.
