id=\"0-optimize-your-b2b-instagram-profile-\"><strong>Optimize Your B2B Instagram Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in Instagram growth is \u2013 of course \u2013 optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimization is critical because each social media profile should be built as a landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing that your prospects are going to check apart from your post, comment or message is your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it has to impress and convert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no other choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/Houston-Golden-B2B-instagram-1024x665.png\" alt=\"houston golden b2b

free to follow me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-handle-\"><strong>Handle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your handle simple and as close to your name as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to make sure that all your handles on all your social media accounts are identical because this helps your online reputation management and streamlines search results for your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For separators, a simple &#8220;.&#8221; will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-name-\"><strong>Name<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your company&#8217;s short name or your first and last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no need to complicate things for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-profile-photo-\"><strong>Profile Photo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a guide about optimizing <a href=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/linkedin-profile-picture-header-image-optimization-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/linkedin-profile-picture-header-image-optimization-guide\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">LinkedIn profile photos<\/a> and the same principles apply here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want a profile photo showing what you would normally wear into a meeting, it doesn&#8217;t have to be formal, the goal here is to be as natural as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To highlight the photo make sure that you have an uncluttered background, I&#8217;d advise removing the background altogether using a tool like removal.ai, then replacing it with a colored background that complements your branding colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-description-\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram allows you to arrange your description in lines so you can have a paragraph telling your prospects about what you do in bullet-point form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows them to easily digest what you and the different roles you play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suggest sticking to three or four lines to keep it simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use emojis as bullet points to give it a pop of color and make sure that you also include a link to your website or meeting link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you with your conversion rate optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-job-title-\"><strong>Job Title<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep it simple with the job title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick in something that you do on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That should be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-building-an-audience-\"><strong>Building an Audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, that you&#8217;ve got yourself an optimized Instagram profile, it&#8217;s time for you to build an audience, and not just any ordinary audience, you want a targeted one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have all the followers in the world if none of them converts or helps your organization with growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, having a small roster of followers does look good for your first-time prospects, but there&#8217;s no point in getting 200,000 followers if they&#8217;re not in the same industry at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We follow a very hyper-focused strategy when it comes to building a stable base of followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-step-1-where-do-your-target-customers-hang-out-in-\"><strong>Step 1: Where Do Your Target Customers Hang Out In?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you have to figure out is your ideal customer profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have one yet, there&#8217;s an excellent guide that you can follow on <a href=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/creating-ideal-customer-profile-on-linkedin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">creating ideal target customer profiles here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve determined what your ideal customer profile is, you can now start looking for them by taking into account their behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you want to look at popular influencers that they could be following, most people who follow influencers of a certain niche are probably involved in that niche as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can also check out hashtags and location tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These will help you narrow people down to people who are interested in what you have to offer but are in the same vicinity where you can effectively serve them. However, for a lot of B2B businesses, this doesn&#8217;t matter if your services are cloud-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-step-2-find-popular-accounts-that-they-follow-\"><strong>Step 2: Find Popular Accounts That They Follow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve found the places where your prospects hang out in, it&#8217;s time for you to start to look at the other influencers they&#8217;re following so that you can get a good idea of what kind of content they like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, it makes sense for you to do everything on a real computer instead of your phone so that it&#8217;s easier and more efficient for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-step-3-get-notified-when-they-post-\"><strong>Step 3: Get Notified When They Post<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, what you want to do is to click on the bell icon so that you can get notified when they post anything, this will help keep things organized for you and make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the things they&#8217;re doing online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bamf.lovelacecreative.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_DC3A2BC9EAA2-1-500x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37731\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-step-4-leave-comments-\"><strong>Step 4: Leave Comments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, here comes the hard part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to leave personalized comments when they post something online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re visiting them for the first time, make sure you leave your first comment on one of their posts, and like a couple of the other things that they&#8217;re posting \u2013 as long as it is really relevant to your brand&#8217;s interest. You don&#8217;t have to give them a like on their really personal photos, you don&#8217;t have an excuse for that at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what kind of comments should you be leaving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid comments that are simple questions, quick reactions like &#8220;great job! ?&#8221;, or generic emojis, that&#8217;s the best way to get blocked or be called out as a bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you need to do is to ask questions or give a really custom reaction depending on the post that they put out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of saying: &#8220;how do you do it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try something else like, &#8220;I love that approach, did you use an app to get those results?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if you want it to be more effective, try writing at least 2-4 sentences, this makes it seem like you&#8217;re really into what they have to offer \u2013 which you should because you&#8217;re trying to establish a relationship with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they don&#8217;t reply, don&#8217;t worry about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to be consistent until they get into an &#8220;Aha!&#8221; moment and ask themselves who you are and why you&#8217;re so interested in what they have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick is to also act like an industry leader that&#8217;s genuinely interested in what they have to offer. This makes the conversation organic and that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re gunning for at this point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-step-5-engage-some-more-\"><strong>Step 5: Engage Some More<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you get this working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve got to engage on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re talking about 75 comments every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, at this point, you might be tempted to use a bot, but you don&#8217;t want to destroy the behavior recognized by  Instagram because you want to keep it organic. Also, no bot will be able to do anything at this scale and be personalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>if you&#8217;re trying to scale your operations up, then get a VA or outsource the work. As long as it&#8217;s quality comments that resonate with your target audience then you&#8217;re pretty much good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you keep doing this the higher the likelihood that organic traffic is going to start coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-creating-ig-posts-\"><strong>Creating IG Posts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there&#8217;s a lot of ways to create IG posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can put out reels, stories, videos, galleries, and whatnot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While variety is great and all, what&#8217;s critical is for you to create posts that <strong><em>resonate<\/em><\/strong> with your target customer profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-if-they-follow-you-slide-into-their-dms-\"><strong>If They Follow You, Slide Into Their DMs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that they follow you first, you&#8217;re already one step through the door because this means that they&#8217;re interested in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when it&#8217;s time for you to jump and slide into their DMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now since we&#8217;re talking about organic traffic, you also need your conversation to be as organic as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a sample,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p>&#8220;Hey *prospect&#8217;s name*, thanks for the follow.

It adds to the organic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-continuing-the-conversation-\"><strong>Continuing the Conversation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now comes the important part, getting them to close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s try to break this conversation to the simplest parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-step-1-get-to-know-them-\"><strong>Step 1: Get to Know Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This part follows the slide into the DMs strategy because you&#8217;re making initial contact with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, this goes more than just saying hi and immediately jumping into a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also want to build rapport at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, show that you care, be a friend, and make a real connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That will allow you to move to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-step-2-frame-the-conversation-\"><strong>Step 2: Frame the Conversation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that they know who you are, it&#8217;s time to frame the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you do this well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does this double down on building rapport, but you can find ways of finding a mutual topic that your prospect and yourself will be interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an organic way of shifting the conversation towards the goal of converting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a couple of questions that you can ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How long have you been in the *propect&#8217;s profession* field? \/ Is this what you always wanted to do?<\/li><li>I&#8217;ve met a lot of people in the *propect&#8217;s profession* field, but yours seems a little different. \/ Becuse it&#8217;s *way that it&#8217;s different*<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This part gets them thinking because you&#8217;re now not only interested but you&#8217;re also talking about their industry.
