YOUR INSTAGRAM ?
HOW TO OPTIMIZE
INSTAGRAM LEARNINGS
REMEMBER
TO CROP
Cropping effectively on Instagram is the quickest route to engagements. 4:5 for images and 9:16 for Reels
SUBJECT
FIRST
The subject of the asset should be prominent to catch someone’s attention
STAY
CONSISTENT
The platform rewards consistent, ongoing posting
NON CHRONO
- LOGICAL
Content in the feed is not consumed in a chronological order – consider a user’s potential narrative arc
VISUALLY
DRIVEN
As a visual-first platform, it is imperative the asset is bold & visually pleasing
ALGORITHM
SMARTS
The algorithm rewards Carousels and then Reels more than any other content type (changed in mid-2023)
