Instagram SEO

Instagram has quietly become a search engine. Users type queries into the search bar, browse the Explore surface, & use the platform to research brands before they visit a website. Instagram itself has confirmed that keywords in captions & profile fields influence what surfaces in search results, which makes optimisation a legitimate discipline rather than a guess.

We treat your Instagram presence as a discoverable content library. That starts with the profile. Your name field is indexed, so it is used deliberately rather than decoratively. Bio copy, category selection, & pinned posts are aligned to how your audience actually describes what you do.

Content is then optimised for both discovery & retention. We research the search terms your audience uses on platform, write captions that carry those terms naturally, use alt text properly, & select hashtags based on relevance & reachable competition rather than raw volume. Reels are structured around a strong opening, clear on screen text, & a payoff that earns saves & shares, because those signals feed the Explore surface.

We also build conversion paths so that discovery leads somewhere. Link strategy, highlights, & calls to action are designed to move a searcher into an enquiry.

Reporting covers reach by source, search & Explore performance, saves, shares, profile visits, & resulting site traffic.
