How to Increase Your X (Twitter) Post Impressions: 8 Proven Strategies That Worked for Me!

. 9 min read

A while ago, I realized something strange—my follower count was growing, but my tweet impressions were stuck in place. I’d post consistently, try new formats, even jump on trends, but still—barely any reach.

That’s when I paused and re-evaluated everything.

What was I doing wrong? Was it timing? Content type? Audience quality?

I tried dozens of tactics, tracked the results, and kept refining. Eventually, I found a handful of strategies that actually made a difference—and I’m going to walk you through all of them right here. These are the exact steps I took to get my posts seen by more people.

To make it happen, I used Circleboom, an official partner of Twitter/X. It gave me everything I needed to analyze, plan, clean up, and grow—without spending hours every day on the platform.

No fluff. Just practical strategies that work.

Here’s how you can increase your impressions too—without burning out or tweeting 24/7.


1. Clean Out the Bots: Quality > Quantity

Before you worry about content or timing, the first thing you need to fix is your audience. Having thousands of followers might look impressive—but if many of them are bots, inactive users, or spam accounts, your engagement rate will be terrible.

And the worst part? Twitter doesn’t help you here. There's no built-in way to check whether your followers are real, fake, or completely dormant.

That’s why I used Circleboom’s Remove Fake/Bot Follower feature. It scanned my entire follower list, automatically detected suspicious accounts, and let me remove them with one click. The cleanup took minutes, not hours.

Here’s how to clean your follower list efficiently:

Step #1: Go to the Circleboom Twitter website and log in with your credentials.

If you’re a new user, sign up—it’s quick and easy!

Step #2: On the left-side menu, click on the Followers section. A dropdown menu will appear. Select Fake/Bot Followers to see the full list of your followers.

If you want to remove specific accounts, such as inactive users, you can directly select these categories from the dropdown menu instead of viewing all followers.

Step #3: You will see a complete list of your fake/bot followers.

Use the Filter Options on the right-hand side to refine your list. You can filter followers based on engagement levels, fake/spam accounts, inactivity, verification status, and more.

Apply Filters

Step #4: Browse through your followers and check the boxes next to the users you want to remove.

You can also select multiple users at once. Once you have selected the users, click on the Remove Followers button at the top.

Alternatively, you can remove individual followers by clicking the red remove icon next to their name on the right side of the list.

A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure you want to remove the selected followers. Click ''Remove Followers''.

Step #5: Since the removal action is processed via the Circleboom Remove Twitter Followers extension, you need to install it to complete the process.

Click on Download the Extension and install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Once installed, you can easily remove followers.

Step #6: After installing the extension, Circleboom will automatically add all your removal requests to the extension queue.

Click on the Start button to begin the removal process.

The extension will process your requests and remove the selected followers.

That's it! Your selected followers are now removed automatically.

After the cleanup, my engagement rate finally started to reflect my real influence. I wasn't just collecting numbers—I was speaking to real people who could actually interact with my content. And my impressions started increasing steadily from there.

💡
Tip: Run this every few weeks, especially if your content goes viral or if you use hashtags that attract spam.


2. Use AI to Create Tweets Based on Follower Interests

Once I cleared out the fake followers, I wanted to understand what real people in my audience actually cared about. Posting great content doesn’t help if it’s not relevant to your followers.

Twitter gives you little insight into this, but Circleboom’s Interest Cloud filled that gap. It showed me the most common interests, hashtags, and keywords my followers were using.

With that data, I stopped guessing. I used AI Tweet Generator to craft tweets tailored to those topics. I was able to speak with my audience instead of just tweeting at them.

💡
Tip: Try turning follower interests into mini-series, questions, polls, or fun facts. It keeps engagement going long term.

This was one of the most eye-opening changes. The moment I aligned my tweets with what my audience cared about, engagement (and impressions) became way more consistent.

3. Don’t Post Just When You’re Free—Post When They’re Online

It’s not enough to post great content—you need to post it at the right time.

X doesn’t show when your audience is most active, but Circleboom does. I used the When Your Followers Are Online feature to pinpoint peak activity times. Then I switched to scheduling my tweets with the Best Time to Post option.

Here’s what my results looked like:

As you can see, most of my followers are active around 6 PM to 10 PM on weekdays—especially Thursday nights. Posting during these windows made a noticeable difference.

💡
Tip: Combine smart timing with auto-retweets to expand the tweet’s life and catch different audience segments.

Once I started timing my posts right, even average tweets started getting instant traction. Timing isn't everything—but it’s close.


4. Bring Your Best Tweets Back to Life

Why let a high-performing tweet live for only a day? I had some tweets that went semi-viral but were buried and forgotten within 24 hours.

Rather than creating new tweets from scratch all the time, I used Circleboom’s Post Analytics to find those gems and bring them back—with a twist.

With the AI Tweet Generator, I refreshed the language, added new angles, and regenerated the tweet. Then I used the Auto-Retweet feature to post it again, spaced out over time.

Step #1: Navigate to the Analytics Menu
From the left-hand menu, click on the "Analytics" tab, then select "Post Analytics" from the dropdown.

Within Post Analytics, select the "Post Engagement Analytics" option.

Post Engagement Analytics

Circleboom will display a detailed breakdown of your posts, including metrics like impressions, likes, retweets, replies, and more.


Step #2: Sort by Impressions
Locate the "Impressions" column in the content list.

Click on the column heading, and Circleboom will automatically arrange your tweets from the highest to the lowest number of impressions.

Step #3: Once you’ve found your old tweets, Circleboom offers several tools to make the most of them; choose which you want to use:

🟢 Reschedule Popular Tweets: Found a tweet that’s still relevant or hilarious but didn’t get the engagement it deserved? With Circleboom, you can reschedule it to repost it at a better time.

Reschedule popular tweets at best time to post.

Maybe your audience wasn’t active when you first tweeted it, or perhaps it just got lost in the noise. Rescheduling ensures your best content gets a second chance to shine.

🔵 Refresh Content with AI: Some of your old tweets might feel outdated or could use a fresh twist. Circleboom’s AI-powered tweet generator can help you rewrite or improve them.

Regenerate tweets with AI.

Whether you want to update the language, add a modern twist, or make it more engaging, the AI feature has got you covered.

🟡 Set Auto-Retweets: If you’ve got evergreen tweets that are still relevant, why not let them work for you on autopilot?

Auto-Repost with Circleboom

Circleboom’s auto-retweet feature allows you to automatically retweet your best-performing content at regular intervals. This is perfect for driving consistent engagement without lifting a finger.

💡
Tip: Slightly tweak the copy or CTA, and change the posting time to target a different chunk of your audience.

Some regenerated tweets actually outperformed the originals. This became a core part of my weekly content flow—recycle, refresh, retweet, repeat.



At one point, I was constantly sharing blog links, hoping people would click and read. But they didn’t. Twitter users scroll quickly, and external links don’t perform well in the feed or algorithm.

Instead, I started breaking those blog posts into threads.

Using Circleboom’s AI Thread Generator, I pasted the URL and let the tool do its thing. It pulled key points and split them into engaging tweets that worked natively on X.

💡
Tip: Open your thread with a strong hook and end with a soft CTA—like “Follow for more” or “Check my profile for the full article.”

Engagement skyrocketed. Threads kept people on the platform longer and encouraged replies, bookmarks, and shares—pushing impressions much higher than plain links ever did.


6. Cut the Dead Weight: Remove Low-Engagement Tweets

Your profile is like a storefront. If it’s full of old, low-performing tweets, it doesn’t make a great first impression to new visitors—or the algorithm.

But manually scrolling and deleting those posts? Not happening.

With Circleboom’s Delete Tweet tool, I filtered tweets by likes, replies, and retweets. I set a threshold (e.g. “fewer than 5 likes”) and deleted those tweets in bulk.

💡
Tip: Set aside 15 minutes once a month for this. A cleaner profile performs better.

Once I did this, I noticed newer tweets had better engagement early on. It’s like the algorithm started treating my account as higher-quality after cleaning up the noise.


7. Follow Strategically, Not Randomly

In the early days, I followed a bunch of accounts hoping for follow-backs. Most didn’t follow back—or worse, they were inactive or irrelevant.

Then I learned to follow smarter.

With Circleboom’s Smart Search, I filtered users by niche, activity level, and even location.

Advanced Search Filters

I followed relevant, active users, and after a few days, I unfollowed those who didn’t follow back using the Not Following Back tool.

💡
Tip: Engage first. Like a tweet or leave a reply before following—people are more likely to check you out and follow back.

This not only helped me grow real followers, but it also brought in users who were more likely to engage—which directly lifted impressions on my future tweets.


8. Don’t Let Your Tweets Stay on X

Why limit your tweets to one platform when you can double—or triple—your visibility?

I started using Circleboom Publish to cross-post tweets to LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky. With one dashboard, I could reach multiple platforms with zero extra effort. Once you link the platforms you want to share your tweets, it automatically sends your tweets.

💡
Tip: Tweak the caption or format slightly for each platform. What works on Twitter may need more explanation on LinkedIn.

As I started getting engagement from other platforms, I noticed more profile visits, more shares, and a ripple effect of impressions—even back on X. It’s an easy win if you’re trying to expand your reach.


Final Thoughts

Growing on X isn’t about tweeting more—it’s about tweeting smarter.

These 8 strategies helped me boost impressions, attract real engagement, and build a stronger presence without burning out. And with Circleboom, an official partner of X, I had all the tools I needed to do it in one place.

From identifying fake followers to knowing what to post and when, Circleboom gave me a clear edge—and made it easy to stay consistent.

✨ My advice? Pick two or three of these strategies and start today. Track your progress. Then scale from there.

Your tweets deserve to be seen—now you’ve got the tools and a proven system to make that happen.
