Instagram SEO: Do This Instead of Hashta...

Edward Sturm
About this episode

E528: This is how to do Instagram SEO. I’ve posted 775 days in a row, Reels and Images, over 2,500 posts.

Here is how to optimize Instagram so your posts are discovered in Instagram’s native Search and more.

And yes, hashtags really are not the way. Hashtags are not good for this.

This covers where to put your keyword(s), how the Instagram algorithm prioritizes content, how to optimize your profile (bio, username, and profile picture), how to quickly make content, how to write a description for search, how to grow your account, and a lot more.
