Instagram for Business: Create a Page That Attracts More Customers |

• Have you included a link back to your site?
• Did you include a description of your brand and what your business is about?
• Possibly add achievements/highlights that attract new followers

This is your chance to share any relevant information you would like visitors to see. You want to highlight why someone should follow your account.

• Does it connect to your company or brand?
• Is it something that’s easy to remember?
• Will it come up in search results? (Instagram and Google)
• Are you using a consistent handle across all social media?

This will be the username that your audience will know you by on Instagram. Make sure it is easy to remember and relevant to what you’re trying to achieve.

• Are you using the correct dimensions?
• For your profile picture
• For your Instagram Stories feed
• For organic Instagram posts
• Do you have a relevant profile picture?

Instagram is an image/video based platform. All the content is guided to draw attention to the video or picture. Make sure to use the correct dimensions in the applicable spots.

• How consistently are you posting? Everyday? Multiple times a day?
• What are you posting?
• Is it products your business offers?
• User generated content?
• Are you optimizing your posts to achieve your overall purpose?
• Using hashtags the proper hashtags
• Text that encourages engagement
• Is there a tool you can use to automate this process?

There isn’t a limit on how often you should be posting on Instagram. However, if your content isn’t engaging, Instagram’s algorithm will start ‘hiding’ your content from your followers.

• Have you done hashtag research to find the best keywords to ensure optimal reach?
• Are you using all 30 hashtags available to you?
• Does your caption connect with your audience?
• Are your captions too short or too long to read?
• Are you encouraging followers to like and comment on your content in a non spammy way?
• Are you tagging influencers/brands that could potentially boost your post’s engagement?
• Are you adding a link in your bio when promoting a webpage?

You want to make sure your text and images capture your audience’s attention and encourages them to generate engagement.

• Is it overly branded content?
• Are you heavily pushing for a sale on Instagram?
• Is it content your audience will use to generate trust with you?

On Instagram, you ultimately want more followers, high engagement, and traffic back to your site. This is only possible if you post content your audience will trust.

• Are you liking and commenting on your follower’s content?
• Do you encourage conversation/commenting on your posts?

In today’s world, engagement means everything. How would you feel if your favorite musician liked your post on Instagram? With that same mentality, your audience looks up to you.

• Do you have an influencer marketing strategy on Instagram?
• Have you connected with any potential influencers?
• What tools are you using to find influencers in your niche on Instagram?
• Are you tagging influencers/brand and encouraging them to like/comment on your post?

If you promote great content, chances are, influencers will encourage and promote it. However, you still need to get under their radar.
