How does WhatsApp Channels decide who sees a post?
There is barely an algorithm here, and that is the whole point. Everyone who follows gets every update — no ranking, no reach penalty, no dead posts. Growth is entirely manual: you push people to the channel from your Instagram bio, your shop counter, your invoice and your Google listing. The Updates tab does have a directory you can be found in, so name the channel with your city and service in it rather than only your brand name.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

No. Facebook comes first for desi and BBQ restaurants — WhatsApp Channels is number 4 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.

Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Charcoal smoke, low light and orange lamps turn every customer photo into an orange blur. That is what your WhatsApp Channels posts should be answering, in 2 broadcasts per week
What does it cost to have someone run my WhatsApp Channels account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For desi and BBQ restaurants we usually recommend Business bundle at from PKR 25,000. Most of these places have no website and a half-empty Google listing while the whole city searches for BBQ near me. The Business bundle fixes the map pin, the photos and weekly posting, then runs Facebook alongside it.
