Why switch to the Instagram Business Profile?

Metrics, Metrics, Metrics!  What’s business without the numbers, right?  When you have a bunch of products to sell and you want to sell more, you’re likely going to push the bestsellers or similar products since they have done well in the past.  This concept can be apply to your social media posts and content as well.  When you have metrics to compare, you are better able to assess and see which posts or types of posts are getting the most engagement (i.e. likes, comments, etc).  So in order to get more engagement, the next logical step would be to do more of those types of posts.  Doing so will help your account be more aligned with what your audience.

If you are a business, run ads on Instagram, or use Instagram for marketing, then the Instagram Business Profile is something you should consider!
