Hi guys! We received some great info about the instagram for business option from our amazing insta-rep Kati McGee and wanted to pass it along:)
We are 100% rolled out on our new Instagram Business Tools, as of this morning. Just as a reminder, there are two ways you can access the migration link through the Instagram mobile app:
(1) If there is a connected page to the Instagram account, you may be eligible to see a blue pop-up window that encourages you to make the switch (see example below).
(2) If there is no pop-up window, go to your IG profile, click on the Settings gear, and scroll until you see "Switch to Business Profile" listed as an option under the "Account" section.
As a reminder, there are three requirements that a business/brand will need to have before they can migrate to the Instagram Business Profile:
- You must have a 1:1 connection with a page
- You must be an admin of the page you are connecting to
- You must have one form of contact method listed on the account (call, e-mail, get directions, message)
If you have any questions, please feel free to tag me (Kati McGee) here -- I'm always happy to help!
**We also have a great Blueprint training course that you can take online if you'd like additional information behind the new tools:
