Instagram Insights: How it works


Without doubt, compilation of data analytics is one of the very major demands of any company that takes digital marketing seriously.

This is what the success of a digital campaign is based on and as such many have used professional analytics tool to give a breakdown of online media campaigns and its success which basically deals with numbers; companies want to know the total number of people that see a post, the number of impressions the campaign gained, the number of engagements as well.

This as seen many social media giant companies go the extra mile in providing “Insights” that in details talks about the overall accumulated success of an online campaign,  the fore-runners of course are Facebook, Twitter, etc  following in this footstep is the Picture and Video Social Media App: INSTAGRAM

 What are Instagram Insights?
This feature is gradually rolling out and may not be available to you right now.
Instagram Insights provide information on who your followers are, when they're online and more. You can also view insights for specific posts you've created to see how each performed and how people are engaging with them
Which insights can I view on Instagram?
These insights may include:
Impressions: Total number of times your post was seen
Reach: Number of unique accounts who saw your post
Website Clicks: Number of accounts that have tapped the website link on your Business Profile.
Follower Activity: Average times your followers are on Instagram on a typical day
Keep in mind that impressions and reach are different. Impressions are the total number of times your post was seen. A single individual may see your post 5 times. Each time they see it, you'll get an impression. Reach is based on the number of unique people who view your post. Each unique individual will only be counted once, even if they view your post multiple times.

You'll also see the following insights about your followers, including gender, age and location information.

If you're viewing insights from a post, you'll be able to see Impressions, Reach and Engagement. Engagement includes the total number of unique Instagram accounts that liked or commented on your post.

Where can I find my Instagram Insights?
After you've converted to a Business Profile on Instagram, you'll get access to Instagram Insights.

Instagram Insights help you learn more about your followers and the people interacting with your business on Instagram. For example, you'll find insights such as gender, age range and location. You can also see which posts your audience sees and engages with the most.
