Morphology
The meaning 'an algorithm or set of rules that boosts content' is directly and compositionally derived from 'promotion' (activity to boost awareness) + 'system' (a set of rules or procedures) — essentially 'a system for promotion'. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun-noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase promotion system comes from the image of workers climbing a ladder or stairs to reach a higher job, where promotion is the step up and the system is the set of rules that decide who moves. So, it means 'a set of rules that moves people to higher positions'.
