There is no minimum number of followers required for businesses to use the Instagram for business service. To maximize the value provided by the Instagram for business service, businesses can grow their follower base. Doing so will likely result in more users contacting the business through Instagram in order to have their customer care needs met. Additionally, businesses will be able to provide more customers with product related information by using the Instagram for business service.
I know this thread is a bit old, but I’m curious if anyone who tried this saw any long‑term changes in their engagement. I’ve seen mixed results with similar services, so I’m wondering if the likes stayed or dropped over time. Also, did it affect your reach on newer posts, or was it more of a short boost only? Would be great to hear real experiences.
