Within the app, find settings, then scroll down to Switch to Business Account. Once you have a business account, you can add in pertinent business information like store hours, business address or a phone number. Create a Business Profile
*Be sure to add your website under your profile in the business account, so people can find your website.People will click on your pictures and also your profile picture to take them to your website and find out more about you and your business.
Step 4: Post your pictures and follow users
Start posting content you’d like to see in your feed using relevant hashtags, and start following similar accounts. Go to Instagram to get started. Post consistently. Try to post weekly at least about your business. Post pictures of your product or the service you offer. Stick to business, not personal pictures.
Examples of hastags: #partiyorkies #puppiestoocute #mywebsitename
