Personal vs. Business Instagram Accounts

In order to get the most out of your experience of using MavSocial, we recommend switching your Instagram Account to a business account. With an Instagram Business Account, you'll be able to:

• Enable auto-posting directly to Instagram
• View + respond to comments directly from the MavSocial app
• Discover + search for other Instagram business profiles
• Include location + user tags within your scheduled posts

Did you know? Your Instagram profile is Personal by default, converting your account to an Instagram Business Profile you're able to have access to insights regarding your posts and followers.

How to Change Your Personal Profile to a Business Profile

If you already have an active Facebook Business page, it will take you no more than a few minutes to change your Instagram Personal Account to a Business Account.

• The Facebook profile that you use to convert your Instagram profile must have admin rights
• Make sure that your Instagram profile is set to public
• Go to settings (click the 3 parallel lines at the top right of the Instagram app and you will find settings at the bottom of the new window)
• Select ‘Switch to Business Profile’
• Choose the Facebook page that you want to connect to your Instagram business profile
• Go to the business profile setup page to ensure that the information there is as you want it. Choose a category for your business. Tap ‘Done’.

Now you can start using the business profile feature and Instagram Insights.
