How do I get local customers from Instagram for my business?
THE SHORT ANSWER
To get local customers from Instagram, make every part of your page say where you are and how to buy. Put your town and what you do in the name field and bio, add your address and a booking or directions link, and tag your location on each post. Then show up in local conversations by replying to nearby businesses and community pages. Local people rarely find you by accident. They find you through a place tag, a neighbour's share or a search for your area.
What to do
- 1Write your trade and town in the name field, such as Plumber in Leeds.
- 2Add a location tag to every post and Reel.
- 3Mention local streets, landmarks and events in captions.
- 4Comment on posts from nearby businesses a few times a week.
- 5Ask happy customers to tag you when they post.
The common mistake
Chasing follower numbers from anywhere. Five thousand followers in other countries will never walk through your door, while three hundred nearby might.
WHERE KLIK FITS
KLIK keeps your page posting on schedule so the time you do have can go on replying to local people and comments.
