Quick backstory:
My company offers web design services but I am also branching out into online marketing like social media and SEO.
My recent client didn't need my services for web design but wants me to work on social media. I told him I will post and build his instagram/facebook and we will see if there is an increase in customers using analytics as a test.
His niche is restaurants, mexican restaurants to be exact. He has four locations that sell really good Raspados (mexican ices). As an instagrammer, what is the best method for gaining followers for a restaurant? What kind of hashtags do I use for the local area I am in (Phoenix and Tuscon are where his restaurants are in Arizona). Also, what tool do you use to track click through and what analytics I should be tracking for this industry? I heard hoot suite is decent.
We have already posted pictures of food but we will probably do pictures of promotions as well. I am unsure what hashtags and who to be following as a restaurant/where to go about finding restaurants. Maybe just restaurants in the area and following them?
If following 30/per hour how much is responsible to like at the same time?
Also where to target the likes?
Hashtags/people that follow niches similar to mine etc..?
@DEADZ Could I PM you somehow? Have a few questions
HI @DEADZ - amazing information. can you please mention what automation tool you use? there are so many on the market and its hard to know what's reliable. additionally, if im just running follow/unfollow for 1 account and im using one of these automation services, do i need to also have my own proxy so instagram can't detect the different IPs between the bot and my IG account?
1) Is it true that on IG, posts with text in it have low reach?
Is the Likes % too low, or is the Reach itself just too low?
What should I do? My IG account is in the pet niche, are there any specific tips for this area?
2) Do you believe in the shadow banning thing? I've tried the 10-10-10 hashtag strategy but it seems useless. I used Displaypurposes.com to research the hashtags but it doesn't seem to work.
3) Do you feel that with each day, the number of likes gained daily is dropping despite the follower count increasing? I wonder if it's just my account. After Sep 2017, my IG engagement rate took a big hit and fell by more than 80%.
4) Would you mind looking at my IG account and critiquing it? If so, mind if I PM you?
1. Did you post niche specific content for your own instagram account? For eg. Have you been the Car guy / fitness guy / party guy?
2. Do you have any tips on how you edited your pictures, like did you use specific Lightroom Presets or can you recommend specific tutorials/ courses?
3. How did you know which content you have to present to your audience or did you just randomly post pictures, videos, gifs and so on?
4. How often did you post content? I feel like people would hate me, if I would post 1 picture per day!
5. Did you also use the hashtag stacking technique or some other technique for your private account?
6. Are there any other specific techniques you can recommend for private accounts, like the hash tag stashing technique (to boost followers)?
7. How do you research hashtags for the hashtag stacking technique?
8. Which software do you use in general for instagram? Jarvee probably for automated liking / following, but which other software/apps are a MUST HAVE?
@Xeon I can't seem to respond/reply to your pm. Other peoples message have the reply boxes etc but yours doesn't. Maybe something on your end?
