If your business is on Instagram, then your Instagram bio is your digital business card, portfolio and your website home page all wrapped up into one. With the abundance of profiles on the platform, you have just seconds to make a great first impression – much like an email subject line<\/a> –\u00a0 your instagram bio should be eye-catching and attention grabbing from the start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to go through what it takes to write a killer instagram bio which will direct traffic to your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Your Bio To Attract Your Ideal Audience<\/b><\/h3>\n

Using a few short sentences or bullet points, your Instagram bio should explain what you\u2019re all about. For example, take a look at Cheetah\u2019s Gym in Hove.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Using just a few words, there is no question about what sort of business there is. Think of your bio as a 150 character business pitch. Speak directly and clearly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use The Name Field To Share Your Top Keywords<\/b><\/h3>\n

Did you know that the name field (the bit in bold above your bio) is the only other thing that is searchable apart from your username? This is why it\u2019s so important that it contains the things your customers are going to be searching for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if we look at Small Batch Coffee Roasters – even though the majority of their customers won\u2019t know their username off by heart, they\u2019ll be able to find their profile easily because they have the business name in the name field.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tag Related Businesses In Your Bio<\/b><\/h3>\n

Thanks to a handy update by Instagram in 2018, any tagged profiles in your bio can become clickable links! Why does this matter though? Well, if you have any sister brands or branches – you can link to them directly from your instagram bio.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Brighton & Hove Albion FC link directly to their women\u2019s team from their bio, saving their customers and fans from searching again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use your \u2018Link In Bio\u2019 smartly!<\/b><\/h3>\n

On Instagram, you only get one URL to link to on your profile which can often be a hindrance if your business is multi-faceted. Services such as <\/span>Link In Bio<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Linktree<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Campsite<\/span><\/a> allow you to send your customers to a landing page with multiple links. This allows you to share your other social media channels, blog posts and websites from one convenient location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Add a \u2018Call To Action\u2019 in your bio.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Since Instagram only gives you one link on your profile, it\u2019s a good idea to use the last line of your bio to tell users what\u2019s in it for them if they click your link. For example, you could be offering a limited time offer or a free resource.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Later – a popular Instagram scheduler has a short and simple CTA that encourages users to get free top tips and guides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
