Business or Creator?

Instagram explains that professional accounts are either Business for organizations reaching customers and using business tools, or Creator for public figures and content producers. Professional accounts are public and cannot be private.

A profile that answers before being asked

Use a searchable name, clear image, accurate category, and a bio explaining who receives value and what to do next. Test the link and contact buttons, remembering that enabled contact information is public.

Assign roles to Reels, Stories, and posts

Use Reels for discovery and fast explanation, Stories for daily context and interaction, and reference posts for information users revisit. Standardize formats that work instead of replacing the system weekly.

Measure content by its job

Professional accounts provide a dashboard and Insights. Relate saves and shares to reference content, viewing and retention to video, and clicks or conversations to offers. Compare similar content rather than every format with one metric.
