Six tools for Instagram content planning and follower analysis

Instagram Insights

The Instagram Insights tool is provided by Instagram itself. As soon as you have converted your regular Instagram account into a business profile, you will have access to this tool. It provides an overview of various Instagram profile data and analysis results. You learn more about your followers and other users who interact with the Instagram account. This means that anonymized data on the gender, location and age group of followers is generated. The engagement rate is displayed, whether and when the posts and stories encourage followers to interact and how often they have been viewed. Instagram Insights also shows the key figures for paid posts and stories. This allows you to quickly recognize which content is working well and how you can adapt your strategy and content.
