A few Instagram tweaks that have helped me get more visibility


Inspire To Thrive

Hi there,

I just updated my post on Instagram SEO tips, and I wanted to share a few practical things that can help more people find your content — whether you run a small business or publish a blog.

Here are 5 quick fixes you can do today:

  • Update your bio so it clearly says who you help and what you offer
  • Add relevant keywords naturally in your next caption
  • Use 3–5 focused hashtags instead of a long list
  • Add descriptive alt text to your latest post or Reel
  • Check Instagram search suggestions for phrases people are already using

I also included a real example of why certain Instagram posts get discovered in search (like ones answering “Can you tell if someone screenshots your Story?”).

You can read the full post here:

If you’ve tried any of these, I’d love to hear what worked for you.

Talk soon,
Lisa
