Hidden Setting to Get More Views on Instagram

Do want to get your public Instagram posts into Google and search engine results? Imagine getting in front of all those people searching for what you offer!

Instagram is allowing posts to appear in Google (and other search engine) results now. But did you know there's a HIDDEN setting that will increase the chances of your content appearing in those search results?

On your mobile device (not on desktop) follow these steps:

➡️Go to your Instagram profile
➡️Go to the hamburger/3-line button in the upper right corner
➡️Under Settings and Activity, scroll down to "Account Privacy"
➡️Toggle ON the option for "Allow public photos and videos to appear in search engine results"

Boom!

Done.

If you create educational content, provide tips or tutorials, or have informational content about your brand and/or industry, you should REALLY consider enabling this function.

This is also a reminder to make sure your Instagram post captions are well written and include appropriate descriptions and keywords!
