Instagram is a powerful visual platform for your business, but your Instagram account is difficult to index and display in search results. Why? Instagram actually blocks search engines from indexing Instagram images.
Fortunately, your profile is indexed. Just a few tweaks can help optimize your profile for search.
Instagram Profile Optimization
- Set your profile to public.
- Add your top keyword to your profile name.
- Create a specific bio with good keywords.
- Add a link to your website.
Don’t just fill your bio with a bunch of hashtags. Search engines need good text content to work with, and so do humans. Make it clear who you are, what you do, and what you’re about.
