How To View And Analyze Instagram Statistics

1. Instagram Analytics

All such aggregate and quantitative data related to an Instagram account are considered as Instagram analytics.

Instagram shows the user the most interesting variables of each account and its published content.

These are considered “statistics” in the App and from this section any user can know what happens to their followers and posts.

This way you can discover their behavior and be able to control / create actions about it.

Let’s see more about this in the next point.

2. Why to activate Instagram’s statistics

To be aware of Instagram’s analytics. This information is essential for any business today, as it is important to measure the actions taken and check their results.

By knowing the behavior of the audience of an Instagram account, we will be able to know which content they like best and which they like least, what times certain content works best, what actions increase the number of followers on the account, etc.

This statistical data allows us to create a strategy and check whether your objectives are being met or not, and make decisions about it.

This helps us to make tests, change contents or other actions and check what generates more ROI (benefit for our account).

3. How to view Instagram statistics

First of all, to see Instagram’s statistics you must have your account as a professional. If you don’t see them yet, go to the Instagram menu, go to Account and click on “Switch to Professional Account”. You can choose to be a :

• Creator. These are independent accounts that produce content: artists, influencers, etc.
• Company. Businesses that want to be shown on Instagram: shops, businesses, brands, etc.

Choosing one of these professional accounts will activate the respective data accumulation of your account and you can see the statistics section.

I can’t see the stats on Instagram anymore!

Be careful because this is happening to a lot of people. It turns out that if you decide to remove your account as a business account and move it to a personal account you’ll think: I can’t see the stats on Instagram anymore!

And the worst part is, you may never see them again. We at least think that Instagram resets this data and you can’t get it back.
