# November 2025 X Algorithm Trends and Data: How to Lift Reach and CTR

Recent November data highlights three priorities: **completion rate**, **early interaction velocity**, and **topic consistency**. Nail the basics before chasing virality.

---

## Weighted Signals (November)
- Thread completion rate (read-to-end ratio)
- First 30 minutes interaction velocity (comments/saves > likes)
- Topic consistency over the last 30 days (2–3 themes)
- Relationship strength (mutuals and repeat interactions)

---

## Benchmarks (Creator Ranges)
| Metric | Stable | Strong | Top |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completion rate | 22% | 30%+ | 40%+ |
| 30-min comment rate | 0.3% | 0.6%+ | 1.0%+ |
| Save rate | 0.7% | 1.2%+ | 2.0%+ |
| Link CTR | 0.8% | 1.5%+ | 2.5%+ |

> Note: verticals vary widely. Track your own trend lines more than cross-account comparisons.

## Improvement Roadmap (easy → hard)
1. Optimize the opener: promise + pain + time cost (e.g., "Do X in 5 minutes")
2. Atomize information: 1 idea per tweet + 1 line of why
3. End with questions: create space for answerable comments
4. Set "interaction windows": 10 minutes pre/post to reply with quality
5. Weekly A/B: opener or visual; keep the winner

---

## A/B Testing SOP
- Hypothesis: adding a time promise raises completion rate
- Control: A = no time promise; B = includes "3 minutes to start"
- Sample: 2 weeks, same theme, 4 posts each
- Decision: if B wins on completion and 30-min comment rate, keep B

## Template: High-Completion Thread Opener
```
[Hook] Contrarian/data/contrast
[Promise] Time/output/pitfall avoided (1 line)
[Preview] The 3–5 takeaways you will get next
```

---

## X-Pilot Recommendations (Usercase)
- Topic Stability Scan: analyze 30-day corpus and flag drift and repetition
- Engagement Window Assistant: prioritized reply suggestions for the first 30 minutes
- A/B Draft Compare: keep two opener/visual variants and schedule cross-post tests

---

## Checklist: From 0 to 1
- [ ] Lock 2–3 topic domains (profile clarity)
- [ ] 1 variable per week in A/B (no multivariate)
- [ ] Ensure "answerability" (2+ questions per thread)
- [ ] Weekly review: save winning styles to your template library
