Your Instagram bio is one of the most important parts of your profile. It's the first thing people see when they visit your page, and it's your chance to make a great first impression. A well-crafted bio can help you attract more followers, build your brand, and even drive traffic to your website or other social media channels. Here are some tips for leveling up your Instagram bio:

Keep It Short and Sweet

Your Instagram bio should be concise and to the point. You only have 150 characters to work with, so use them wisely. Focus on communicating what you do, who you are, and what sets you apart from others in your industry.

Use Keywords

Using relevant keywords in your bio can help improve its visibility in search results. Think about what words or phrases people might use when searching for someone like you on Instagram - then incorporate those into your bio.

See how we did this with our client, Sunflower Natural Foods.

Highlight Your Unique Selling Proposition

What makes your business different from others in your field? Whether it's a unique skill set, a specific area of expertise, or a distinctive style or approach, make sure to highlight what sets your business apart. Check out how our client The Snowed Inn does this in their Instagram bio.

Include a Call-to-Action

What do you want people to do after visiting your profile? Whether it's following your business on other social media platforms, inviting users to join your branded hashtag, or visiting your website/blog, include a clear call to action so that visitors know how they can continue engaging with you. For example, see how our client Vermont Surrogacy Network encourages followers to visit their website.

Use Emojis and Formatting

Emojis can add personality and flair to an otherwise plain-looking bio - just make sure not to overdo it! Similarly, using formatting (like line breaks) can make your bio easier to read and more visually appealing.

Take a look at how we used emojis for our client Housewright Construction Inc. to introduce their business and services.
