Common mistakes to avoid
Link sticker hidden behind reply bar
A link CTA placed near the bottom can collide with the reply/send row once the Story is live.
Fix: Keep link stickers above the bottom reply zone. Exact bound pending verification.
Headline crowded by profile controls
A headline placed at the top edge can compete with the progress bar, profile photo and username controls.
Fix: Lower essential headlines and leave the top strip decorative. Exact bound pending verification.
Organic vs paid: what changes
Organic. Organic Stories show the profile chip at the top and the reply/send bar at the bottom.
Paid ad. Story ads add a sponsor label and a CTA button. Paid bounds pending separate measurement.
