&lt;p&gt;I’d expect organic and paid to remain distinct workflows even inside one platform, but the advantage is being able to see them together. For a small team, I’d want to identify which organic posts are already performing well, promote the strongest ones, and compare paid and organic results without rebuilding the reporting elsewhere. That shared visibility could matter more than forcing both workflows into exactly the same process.&lt;/p&gt;
