Best Ways To Use Instagram Insights To Boost Your Marketing

Back in the day, Instagram was all about sharing your photos with friends. Now that the platform has grown, it has become a great way to market. They came with a useful feature called Instagram Insights, which is especially helpful for influencers and marketers.

You can use Instagram Insights to find out who your followers are, what content they interact with the most, and when they are most likely to be on Instagram. This information can be beneficial when making content for a specific group. So, you can create marketing campaigns that work better and reach your target audience.

What are Insights for Instagram?

Instagram Insights is a built-in analytics tool that gives you information about your content and the actions and demographics of your followers. You need a business account to get to Instagram Insights. There are three places in the Instagram app where you can find Insights data.

To see Instagram analytics and metrics for a specific post, go to the base and tap View Insights in the bottom left corner. On the homepage of Insights, you can see a summary of the data for the posts you’ve made in the last week.

You can learn more about your audience and make them more interested by looking at insights. Click on the “Audiences” tab on the “Insights” dashboard to see how old, male, and female, where they live, and what they like.
