Share a Reel to feed and Explore

I need this Reel to land in our feed and show up in Explore for audience growth. Post the Reel to my profile and make it eligible for Explore distribution, add the caption we've been testing that mentions the new shop launch, tag the photographer Maya, and set the cover so the face is centered. Schedule it for today at 11:00 to hit peak engagement and confirm it appears in the feed afterward.

Before I put this Reel live, make approving it easier for a skeptical reviewer: move the shop launch call-to-action to the first line, show the reach estimate for similar past Reels, highlight any copyrighted music that will trigger a claim, and flag anything in the caption that could be read as a direct sale claim. Keep the caption under 2200 characters and the cover frame clear at mobile sizes.

I just finished editing a 30-second Reel with the caption that mentions a new product drop and tagged Maya. The account manager, Priya, worries our ad account could be limited if the caption looks like a direct sales pitch. I don't know whether the music needs a license or if Explore eligibility will be hurt by the tag. What's the likely risk and the fastest next move to get this live without a takedown?

Across the last quarter our Reels rarely show up on Explore and engagement stalls. I manage creative and product launches and it costs us follower growth and sales momentum. Where are we losing discoverability — brief thumbnails, weak first-line hooks, inconsistent tagging, or choice of music — and what single habit change will most reliably get a Reel into Explore and sustain reach?
