Content
Content matters!. Instagram is full of colorful pictures, quotes and short videos. Post attractive images with good clarity. Description is very important. Brands always follows good story telling description patterns .Example :Dove
USE DEDICATED HASH TAGS
You can create your own dedicated hash tag and use it outside of other social media platforms like in billboards, receipts and other advertising posts. This helps in creating brand awareness.
Use relevant hash tags that matches with your content. .Don’t opt hash tags with over popularity as it never shows up your post for some time. Choose hashtags which have enough members but not too popular. Adding Up to 30 hash tags is possible but 9-10 gives the best reach . Hash tags can be added both in posts and stories.
STORIES
Update your stories section daily with mentions , tags and questions which can help you to interact with your audience. This really helps to increase your followers.
PROFILE
- Convert your profile to business profile
- Link it with Facebook
- Add a short, impressive bio including the location details
- Add a clickable link to your bio where you wish to get traffic. You can update the link every week to your most popular content you wish to promote
- Create Highlights which helps your profile look structured. Highlights can be like the different categories of services/events or anything related to your business. Each photos you post to stories can be added to these categories, so people can easily go through and understand your business.
Example of such a profile :
POST CONSISTENTLY & PEAK TIMES
It doesn’t mean that you should post daily . 3 Post per week is fine . Peak times also is very important . The time you post is proportional to the reach you get. Find out the appropriate peak time which gets you the best reach.
FEATURED ACCOUNTS & collaboration

Always choose location specific featured accounts if your business is local . These featured accounts has a great number of followers, so once they feature your products/services in their profiles, you will get a very good reach.
Example of a featured account is given below:
