How to create an Instagram business profile built for discovery
Instagram is more than a gallery. A focused name field, clear bio, useful highlights and consistent post formats help the right audience understand the brand quickly.
- 01
Create or convert the account
Use a dedicated brand login, then switch to a professional Business account to unlock category, contact and insight features.
- 02
Optimise the searchable name
Keep the handle close to the brand and use the Name field for the main category or customer result people search for.
- 03
Write the three-line bio
Use one line for the audience, one for the result, and one for the next action. Add the most relevant destination link.
- 04
Prepare highlights
Start with Product, How it works, Results, FAQ and About. Use consistent covers and remove empty highlights.
- 05
Launch with a nine-post foundation
Mix customer problems, practical education, product proof and founder context so the first grid tells a coherent story.
