Enabling suggested accounts is vital to increase your profile’s visibility. Here’s how to do it:

 

Log in to Instagram on your computer.

Go to your profile and click on “Edit Profile”.

Scroll down and turn on “Show account suggestions on profiles”.

Tip: By enabling this option, your profile will be suggested to users who follow similar accounts, increasing your chances of gaining new followers.

 

 

2. Optimize Suggested Content

 

To ensure your feed remains relevant and engaging, you can hide content that doesn't match your niche:

 

Go to “Settings” and click on “Suggested Content”.

Add specific words and phrases for content you don’t want to see.

 

Advice: Adjusting these settings tells Instagram what type of content you don’t want to see, refining the algorithm to better match your preferences.

 

 

3. Train Your Algorithm

 

To maximize the relevance of your content in Instagram’s algorithm, follow these steps:

 

Go to the Explore page.

Select posts and Reels relevant to your niche.

Click on the three dots and choose “Interested”.

 

Reminder: This method helps Instagram understand the type of content you publish and show it to a more targeted audience.

 

 

4. Upload High-Quality Videos

 

The quality of your videos plays a crucial role in their success. Here’s how to ensure your videos are uploaded in high quality:

 

Go to “Settings and Privacy”.

Select “Media Quality” in the “Your App and Media” section.

Enable “Upload in High Quality”.

 

Importance: High-quality videos attract more attention, look professional, and stand out better in the content feed
