Social media platforms facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks. We have come to depend on these platforms for connecting with others, news and entertainment.

Looking at your brand’s performance alone isn’t enough to get ahead of the competition. Keep a close eye on your Instagram stats to stay on top of trends shaping the platform’s marketing landscape. This will then give you the insights you need to anticipate possible changes and fine-tune your own strategy.

A few quick fixes!

• Make sure your social profiles accurately reflect who you are

• Switch your profile to a business account: it allows you to access those valuable insights on your posts and audience

• How can people get in touch with you? Have you provided an email address? Make your contact info is clear and provides the necessary information.

• Add a location (by tagging a location you will increase your chances of being found when someone searches a location)

• Tag other accounts. The more you tag, the greater chance people will see you!)

• Hashtags! Use up to 30 unique, quality hashtags – do your hashtag research
