How the Community Feed Works

For vendors wanting free organic visibility without paid ads.

Think of the Community Feed as a digital Balogun Market or Wuse Market โ€” but searchable, organised, and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every product you publish automatically appears in it. No ad spend needed.

What appears in the Community Feed?

  • New product drops โ€” automatically posted when you publish a new product.
  • Restocks โ€” when you update stock on a previously sold-out item.
  • Vendor milestones โ€” e.g., "100 orders completed" builds crucial social proof with buyers.
  • B2B questions & advice โ€” other SMEs asking for wholesale suppliers, business tips, and referrals.

Strategic tips to maximise your visibility

1. Post during peak hours

Publish new products during high-traffic windows: 7โ€“9 AM (morning commute browsing) and 7โ€“10 PM (evening relaxed browsing).

2. Use specific, local language

"Fresh party Jollof by the tray โ€” Lekki pickup available today" performs much better than generic terms like "Jollof Rice".

3. Update your stock regularly

Even a +10 unit restock triggers a new feed announcement, reviving an old product without creating a duplicate listing.

Treat the feed like your WhatsApp status: Vendors who publish consistently โ€” 3 to 5 product updates per week โ€” build a local following on Siiqo faster than those who post once and disappear. Consistency beats perfection.
