Tips for Instagram
- Media required — text-only posts are not supported
- Square (1:1) or portrait (4:5) images perform best in feed
- Reels (9:16) get significantly more reach than static posts
- Best times: Tuesday–Friday, 9 AM–1 PM
- Hashtags: 5–10 relevant hashtags; put them in the caption or first comment
- Caption hook: First line shows in feed before "more" — make it count
