# Instagram Marketing

> Instagram marketing shows your work visually to people deciding who to hire or where to go. We optimize your profile with the words people search, plan Reels, carousels and Stories from your projects, products and team, add location tags and alt text, and link posts to the pages that turn interest into inquiries.

Before-and-after projects, plated dishes and finished rooms sell themselves on Instagram when they are posted consistently.

## Why it matters now
People search Instagram for places, styles and services. Captions, alt text and profile keywords help your content get discovered inside the app and beyond it.

## What is included
- Profile name, bio and links with search keywords
- Reels, carousels and Stories plan
- Photo and short video editing
- Location tags, captions and alt text
- Highlights for services, reviews and FAQs
- Collaboration posts with partners and clients

## How we do it
1. **Profile.** Fix the name field, bio, links and highlights.
2. **Plan.** Build a monthly mix of Reels, carousels and Stories.
3. **Create.** Edit visuals from your real work.
4. **Grow.** Track saves, shares, profile visits and clicks.

## Frequently asked questions
### Do hashtags still matter on Instagram?

A few relevant hashtags still help, but keywords in your name field, bio and captions matter more for search inside the app.

### How often should we post?

Consistency beats volume. Two or three strong posts a week plus Stories works for most businesses.
