How to get more views on Instagram Stories? It’s the million-dollar question that every social media manager has asked themselves.
Instagram Stories = your chance to be authentic. It’s the place to post your daily coffee pic without needing to *slap* a filter on it.
But, should you still have a strategy to boost your Story views? Ab 👏 so 👏 lutely 👏
The more eyes, the better. Let’s dive into how to get more views on Instagram Stories. ⬇️
How To Get More Views on Instagram Stories
*Actually* Use the Features
Many users sleep on features like polls, question boxes, and sliders. But this is the easiest way to rack up views on Instagram Stories.
For example, something as simple as a poll. It prompts instant engagement, with no overthinking. Next time, add one to your Story and watch your audience trickle in. It’ll surprise you to see how many people will *actually* take part in a poll.
Add a Trending Audio
Even if you have to turn *down* the volume, it’s worth it. Instagram LOVES to boost content with trending audio, and that includes Stories.
Stories with music appear more often everywhere on Instagram. For instance, they’re more likely to appear in the Explore page and audio searches. In short, that means your Story can go way beyond your followers, which is always the goal.
Here’s a pro tip: Taylor Swift is always trending. So, do with that what you will. 😉
Tag Your Location
It may *feel* obvious, but it’s a step that a lot of users skip. Tagging your location helps your Stories appear in Explore feeds and geotags. That brings you instant visibility.
For example, let’s say a user is looking for a new restaurant in Phoenix and comes across the business on Instagram. They might tap on the geotag and check out recent Stories tagged there. If your Story gets tagged with that location, you’ve just gained a new viewer.
👉 Only post your location after you leave the establishment. We care about your safety!
Be Consistent
Try to show up daily. We know that’s a big ask sometimes, but consistency goes a long way.
We want to know the real stuff. Give us BTS moments like packing orders, opening the shop, or testing products.
In short, don’t stress perfection. Your audience loves the inside scoop and getting to know the person behind the screen.
Give People Something To Be *Excited* About
And finally, drive curiosity and leave people wanting more.
Don’t try to share every single detail about your life. Instead, drop little hints or cliffhangers. It can be as simple as mentioning that something exciting is happening soon.
So, add a little mystery, and people will keep checking your page for the deets.
