Who should have a business profile?
If any of these sound like you, consider making the switch! Instagram business profiles give you vital information to be able to market to your audience effectively. They are also super helpful for those who want to see analytics (or insights, as they are called in the app) about their followers and engagement with posts and stories. Here are the insights you can see when you have a business profile:
How do I set it up?
Itâs simple! From your account, click the âmoreâ button (three stacked lines in the top right of the screen) and then tap âsettingsâ at the bottom of the screen. Under account, choose âSwitch to Business Profileâ and follow the following prompts.
First, the app will ask you to connect to a Facebook business page if you have one. If not, you can press âskipâ. Connecting a business page will help load your business information more quickly!
Then, choose a category and subcategory for your profile. Of the 11 options, which fits your business best?
Last, review your contact information! Select an email and phone number to have attached to your account. Donât worry, you donât have to have this available on your profile!
Thatâs all! Take some time and explore all the new options on your account and let us know what you think!
