How to Create the Perfect Instagram Bio

What’s the first thing people see when they click on your Instagram account? That’s right; they see your profile bio at the top of the page, and because of its placing and prominence, it’s a prime piece of real estate that you should use to your advantage.

According to Later.com, “Your Instagram bio is your business card, portfolio, and website homepage all wrapped up into one.”

You see, your Instagram bio (when optimized) will:

Help Instagram users (potential customers) find your profile
Let people know about your products/services
Bring visitors to your website
Highlight your brand values
Direct people to your content
Encourage actions like purchases or downloads
Encourage people to follow your account

However, optimizing your bio is not as easy as it might sound. You only have 150 characters to set out your stall and introduce people to you and your business. This means you have to apply some forethought and strategically plan the copy and elements you add to your bio.

So, if you’re serious about using Instagram as part of your marketing strategy, you have to invest some time in crafting an optimized bio. And the below post, published on the Later.com blog, will show you exactly how to do this.

In this post, you will learn how to:

Use branded hashtags
Drive traffic to your website with a bio link
Encourage visitors to take action with CTAs
Strategically place Stories to increase engagement

And much more…
