Having a Poor profile
One of the reasons why your Tweets might not be viewed is if you have an incomplete profile i.e. an egg for your profile pic, have a generic user name. Improper or incomplete details i.e. no website, no location, no keywords, no hashtags, no header and no background image. More importantly to brand yourself you need to have some information about you and make sure it is optimised.
Tweet timings or frequency are incorrect
You’reeither tweeting quite frequently or the time you tweet isn’t right. To ensure you get maximum response you need to plan your strategy accordingly. So if you’re a small company building a reputation you can start by Tweeting 2 to 3 times but for a large company about 6 to 12 tweets should be perfect.
Visual Aids are not used

You can have poles, fun images to be captioned, share readymade comics or create your own, share inspirational content or quotes and create gif images. All of these aspects if paid attention to can help a great deal.
Hashtag Usage
While using #tags is great you might be over using them so if your tweets have a lot of #tags that could be why you aren’t receiving the desired results. If you’re using more than 3 #tags you might want to reduce them to about 1 to 3 #tags. This will improve your visibility to a great extent. You can always use different #tags for multiple tweets.
The key take a ways are have a complete profile together with a proper profile image with required resolution, details about you with optimised content including #tags.
