WRITE A SNAPPY BIO
The bio can be up to 150 characters long and can be seen by anyone, so think carefully about what you want to include. How do you want to portray your business? It’s important to let your brand personality shine through. If you have a tag line for your brand make sure to include that within your character count and maybe add a couple of emojis to make it more fun. Incorporating relevant hashtags and keywords in your profile can help your account to show up in more user searches. Most of all, as a business owner, be sure that you clearly state what your business does! It sounds obvious, but it’s surprising how often a profile or bio leaves no clues as to the product or service provided.
INCLUDE A WEBSITE LINK
Our second tip would be to include your website link in your bio. Since Instagram allows only one clickable link in the bio section, it is a valuable opportunity to direct your followers to your website and it is not included in your character count! When users visit your website, they have the chance to explore your products, services or content in more depth. This increases the likelihood of conversions, such as making a purchase or contacting you for business enquiries. Including a website link in your Instagram bio provides a way to extend your online presence beyond the limitations of the Instagram platform and is a valuable tool for expanding online reach. If you do not have a website, provide a link instead to a blog page, Facebook Business Page, E-commerce page or anything else that will help visitors learn more about your brand.
PROFILE IMAGE
It is vital that you include a profile image on your account to demonstrate both professionalism and brand identity. The profile image should be your business logo positioned centrally in the circle. Ensure that the image is of high quality so that it is clear and readable! This is the perfect opportunity to create upfront brand familiarity for both your logo and colours. If your logo does not work in the circular format, try a team photo or a redesigned version with the company colours. It is really worth making sure that this image accurately represents your brand as it is the first thing people will see.
A well-crafted profile will help to differentiate you from the competition and demonstrate professionalism and credibility. A snappy bio conveys that you take your Instagram presence seriously. A compelling profile will encourage users to click “follow” as their curiosity will be piqued. Importantly, a well-written profile will help the Instagram algorithm direct your content to the right people. The time to review your Instagram business profile is now!
