Lifestyle Instagram Stories? Or maybe your potential customers prefer to watch guides in Reels?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind all the forms and formats you can use: carousel posts, a live video, Instagram videos, user-generated content (UGC), and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, think about the type of content and posting of your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do they focus on organic content or paid content? Do they use Instagram ads, Instagram shopping tools, influencer marketing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to gather as many insights as possible that can be applied to your own Instagram business profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d735437e6e5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d735437e6e5\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"643\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-brand24-comparison-tab-competitor-comparison-min-1140x643.png\" alt=\"Brand24: comparison of competitors: McDonalds', KFC, and Burger King\" class=\"wp-image-160229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-brand24-comparison-tab-competitor-comparison-min-1140x643.png 1140w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-brand24-comparison-tab-competitor-comparison-min-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-brand24-comparison-tab-competitor-comparison-min.png 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brand24: comparison of competitors: McDonalds&#8217;, KFC, and Burger King<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it&#8217;s time to really put your efforts into Instagram marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you perfected your Instagram bio, researched your competition, and understood what users would like to see on your feed, let&#8217;s sit down on the future strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-black-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Spy on your competitors with Brand24!

Analyze their demographics, interests, and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are their pain points and desires? What kind of content resonates with them?

Choose a tone of voice and decide what content will be published to your Instagram feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s always good to have a backlog of posts and use them whenever you have nothing else prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency of the Instagram feed is important, but there are also other aspects where it&#8217;s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that all actions on your Instagram profile should be aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your time to think if you want to have a spokesperson who will be the face of your brand voice on Instagram or maybe you choose to avoid posting employees&#8217; faces. Hiring actors for your Instagram posts is also an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the recent trends, it&#8217;s recommended to post not solely your product but to add a person&#8217;s face to it. This way, you can enhance credibility and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep all the forms homogenous. Stick to one style, tone, and branding on your Instagram post, live video, Instagram story, Reels, and any other posting form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Various guides on the Internet recommend you should post on Instagram every day to grow your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some brands that&#8217;s simply impossible due to the lack of resources. I&#8217;d say try to post as much as possible. Don&#8217;t worry if that&#8217;s 3 times a week and not 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may cause your Instagram profile to grow a bit more slowly, but at least you will surely avoid audience fatigue, which is also very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the point where you managed to gather some audience (more than 1K followers), I recommend posting at least once a week. For sure, your audience will appreciate quality over quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But feed posts are not the only form of posting on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really suggest putting effort into Instagram Stories. They can include clickable links and call-to-action slogans that users can engage with. That&#8217;s why they are so powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also consider making a live video at least once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That is a further element of your <a href=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/social-media-performance\/\" title=\"social media performance\">social media performance<\/a>, but you can still think about it beforehand. Collaborations with other brands, influencer marketing, shopping tools can all turn out extremely helpful for your Instagram activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d735437ede2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d735437ede2\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1135\" height=\"865\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-Fenty-Beauty-Target-collaboration-on-Instagram-min.png\" alt=\"Fenty Beauty &amp; Target collaboration on Instagram\" class=\"wp-image-160230\" style=\"width:851px;height:649px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-Fenty-Beauty-Target-collaboration-on-Instagram-min.png 1135w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-Fenty-Beauty-Target-collaboration-on-Instagram-min-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1135px) 100vw, 1135px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fenty Beauty &amp; Target collaboration on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan this with enough time margin to stay flexible and make the collaboration fit into your strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-black-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Find the perfect people for your brand collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20be11b6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button custom-text-hover-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button google-hidden-link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/app.brand24.com\/user\/register-account\/?custom_form=20\" style=\"border-radius:6px;background-color:#778ced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Brand24!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key action points for Instagram marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Benchmark against closest competitors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide on the type of Instagram content you will produce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get to know your audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultivate consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start a calendar in which you will schedule posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think of partnerships and influencer marketing campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"algorithm\"><strong>Cracking down on Instagram algorithm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although social media algorithms are the well-guarded secrets of their creators, there are a lot of clues that help to determine which posts perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts to inform your Instagram marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should Instagram posts look like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram is a visual platform where image is the thing that counts the most.

You need to create eye-catching posts that will drive attention to succeed with your social media marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, don&#8217;t forget about Instagram captions! It&#8217;s an essential part of your Instagram post that influences its visibility and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The caption should complement the visual post content and provide an extra explanation if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also the place for a call to action. It should direct the recipient in the direction you want them to take. This can be visiting your website, starting a trial, or checking out your newest product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, your Instagram captions can include tags, emojis, and hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-black-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Crack down on Instagram algorithm with Brand24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20be11b6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button custom-text-hover-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button google-hidden-link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/app.brand24.com\/user\/register-account\/?custom_form=20\" style=\"border-radius:6px;background-color:#778ced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try free!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tags<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing tags in your Instagram captions can be a strategic move in the realm of Instagram marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re tagging influencers with whom you&#8217;re currently collaborating, engaging in challenges and wanting to involve specific people or brands, or simply seeking to expand your post&#8217;s reach, tagging plays a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d735437f497&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d735437f497\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"732\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-British-Airways-tagging-Riga-Airport-in-their-post-min-1140x732.png\" alt=\"British Airways tagging Riga Airport in their post\" class=\"wp-image-160231\" style=\"width:855px;height:549px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-British-Airways-tagging-Riga-Airport-in-their-post-min-1140x732.png 1140w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-British-Airways-tagging-Riga-Airport-in-their-post-min-640x410.png 640w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-British-Airways-tagging-Riga-Airport-in-their-post-min-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-British-Airways-tagging-Riga-Airport-in-their-post-min.png 1339w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">British Airways tagging Riga Airport in their post<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It not only notifies and involves these parties but also makes your content discoverable to a broader audience through these tags.

They will make your posts invisible not only to the broader audience but even to your followers&#8217; feeds. This will definitely kill your Instagram engagement, so you really want to be careful with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are some hashtags shadowbanned?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply because Instagram users reported posts including them as inappropriate and against the community guidelines. These posts may have contained obscene photos and videos, violence, or any other image that violates the Instagram rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason for a hashtag to be banned is when it is used in suspicious and spammy content. Then, the algorithm assumes that it&#8217;s a bot using a certain hashtag, not a real human. In consequence, the hashtag gets shadow-banned, and the reach is cut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you check if Instagram hashtags are shadowbanned?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out if the hashtag you want to use won&#8217;t negatively influence your Instagram post, you can simply use the in-app search to find the hashtag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll see the difference between trending hashtags and hidden ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, Instagram hashtags pages come with top and recent posts, Reels, and sometimes even Instagram Stories. If the hashtag is hidden, you will see only the top positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a dedicated tool to check if a particular hashtag is shadowbanned. Many websites offer this service for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite is MetaHashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d73543803b3&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d73543803b3\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"722\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/insagram-marketing-strategy-metahashtag-hashtag-analysis-min-1140x722.png\" alt=\"Meta Hashtags - Instagram Banned Hashtags Checker\" class=\"wp-image-160235\" style=\"width:855px;height:542px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/insagram-marketing-strategy-metahashtag-hashtag-analysis-min-1140x722.png 1140w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/insagram-marketing-strategy-metahashtag-hashtag-analysis-min-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/insagram-marketing-strategy-metahashtag-hashtag-analysis-min.png 1247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Meta Hashtags &#8211; Instagram Banned Hashtags Checker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Request verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of companies remain unverified on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research indicates that approximately 73.4% of creators or brands with over a million followers have that coveted blue checkmark, while merely 0.87% of those with follower counts ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 have verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d735438064e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d735438064e\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1027\" height=\"535\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-verified-account-on-instagram-min.png\" alt=\"Verified account on Instagram\" class=\"wp-image-160236\" style=\"width:770px;height:401px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-verified-account-on-instagram-min.png 1027w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-verified-account-on-instagram-min-300x156.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1027px) 100vw, 1027px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Verified account on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that Instagram success isn&#8217;t solely dependent on that elusive blue checkmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, obtaining verification can significantly enhance your credibility and make you stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To initiate the Instagram verification process, follow these 2 simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

The app will reduce the size to match its standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dimensions for Instagram Stories are 1080px by 1920px (9:16 aspect ratio). Anything in the same aspect ratio will be reduced in size, and anything wider or higher will be cropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video Instagram stories were once limited to 15 seconds, but now Instagram allows you to upload videos of up to 60 seconds per Story. That adds more possibilities but also requires really engaging content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s especially beneficial to companies is that you can include a clickable link in your Instagram Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, this feature was restricted to professional accounts with 10k+ followers, but now everyone can add a link to their Story. This is useful when promoting a new blog post or a landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d73543819b1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d73543819b1\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1048\" height=\"595\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-links-in-insta-stories-min.png\" alt=\"Various links in Insta Stories\" class=\"wp-image-160242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-links-in-insta-stories-min.png 1048w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/instagram-marketing-strategy-links-in-insta-stories-min-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Various links in Insta Stories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, Instagram Stories are a place for ephemeral content, where you can show the backstage of your company and let some authentic, less-curated image of your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s also a space in your Instagram marketing where you can inform about current events and upcoming launches.

You can also tease it via newsletter or other social media channels. You should be aware if such an announcement is not against the rules on other platforms, though.
