.

Instagram account statistics could only be viewed using third-party services and programs, but now it can be done in your own account and even from a computer to Facebook in Creator Studio. Where is this statistics and how to do it on Android and iPhone?

Instagram statistics for the account as a whole, individual publications and Stories can be viewed for free, but first you need to create a business account or an author account. nine0003

👉 How to make a business account on Instagram

How to make statistics on Instagram account

You will get statistics of the photo and the whole account after switching to a business profile or author account . You can do this for free. Previously, it was necessary to link the Facebook page. But now this can not be done.

But in order to run ads directly in the application, Facebook still has to be linked. To do this, you need to remember your e-mail and password from your Facebook account, as well as create a public page for your business account. nine0003

How to view Instagram account statistics

After transferring to a business account or an author account, you will see the inscription “View professional panel” and the “Statistics” button at the top.

If you immediately click the button, then you will immediately go to the Statistics of your Instagram profile.

If you click "View professional panel" - then you can see all the tools for working with a business account / author account. Including there will be a line "all statistics". nine0003

The third way to view Instagram statistics - in your account, click the three bars on the top right and select "Statistics"

Instagram account statistics can only be viewed from the current moment. Everything that happened before, no one will ever know =) Therefore, you will see some intelligible statistics for the entire account within a week, and only new posts will have photo and video statistics.

What do statistics mean and how to use them for promotion on Instagram? nine0041

Statistics are needed not only to track the progress of an account, but also for potential advertisers who ask for the Reach and Engagement of an account before buying an ad. What does Instagram stats mean?

On the main screen, you can select the period from the top - statistics for the last 7 days or 30 days.

Accounts Reached - is the total number of people who saw your posts, Stories and IGTV) in a week, plus a comparison with last week. It differs from Impressions in that here each person (account) is counted only once, even if he watched your posts several times. Therefore, Reach will always be less than Impressions. nine0003

👉 Instagram reach: what is it and how to increase it?

Click on Covered accounts and more detailed statistics will open.

Subscribers and everyone else (by reach) - how many of the audience covered were subscribed to you, and how many were not.

Content type - which content received the most coverage (also broken down by subscribers and unsubscribers)

Here you can also see which posts were the most popular in terms of reach. And if you press the triangle bracket 9 on the right0013 > , then you can filter statistics on Instagram by other indicators (comments, likes, subscriptions, etc.).

Impressions is the total number of content views. One person could watch several times, different content. Therefore, impressions are always more reach.

Actions in the profile are visits to your Instagram account plus clicks on the buttons in the account header (email, store, phone, etc.).

YOUR AUDIENCE

Return to the first Instagram Insights screen. In the Your Audience section, click the triangle bracket on the right > . Statistics on subscriptions and unsubscribes on Instagram will open.

Increase - on this graph you will see the number of subscribers, unsubscribers and total (subscriptions minus unsubscribes).

Below are statistics by location, age and gender.

Peak periods - time (days and hours) when followers were most often on Instagram.

CONTENT YOU POSTED

Go back to the first Instagram Statistics screen. In the "Content you've posted" section, you'll see the number of posts/Stories/IGTV/Promotions in the last 7 or 30 days (depending on the filter on the top left). For each type of content, you can filter by all engagement indicators (impressions/reach/likes (likes)/comments/saves). nine0003

This will help you better understand the results of advertising from bloggers or giveaways. But this is only available for profiles with more than 10,000 subscribers. You can wind them up and go to the author’s account, especially if you don’t have enough 1000 subscribers and can’t wait to get new statistics right now. This will not hit the account engagement much. But ideally, of course, you need to grow organically, with the help of advertising from bloggers and targeting.

How to view post statistics on Instagram

To find out the statistics of views (and not only) of each publication - photo or video on Instagram, you need to open the desired post and click "Statistics".

The top line of statistics is the number of likes, comments (👉 Comments on Instagram: how to talk subscribers), transfers to Direct and saves.

Saves - how many times the "save" button was pressed.

Visits to profile - how many times they went to the account from this photo. nine0003

Reach - how many people viewed the photo. On average, there should be 30-60% of subscribers. Less - a lot of bots that do not look at posts. More — if you ran an ad, got featured, the post turned out to be very popular, shared, etc. The larger your account, the smaller the reach in % of subscribers. Old followers abandon accounts or lose interest. This is fine. The highest coverage (in % of subscribers) is for accounts with up to 1000 subscribers. To increase your reach, be sure to post regularly, with a content plan. Even according to the coverage statistics on Instagram, you can understand whether you published a post at the right time or not. nine0003

If you swipe up on these statistics on Instagram, you can find out even more interesting things about the statistics of the post.

Profile visits - how many people went to your account after seeing this post

Reach - how many people saw your post.

Impressions - how many times your post was viewed. One person can view multiple times, so impressions are always more than reach.

From main page - how many people saw the post in the feed

From "Interesting" - views from the recommended tab, with a magnifying glass. The more, the more likely that the post has become "viral" (it is sent to friends, it appeared in the recommended). Also, a large percentage happens if you promoted a post.

From profile — how many people saw the post by logging into your account

From hashtags — how many came from hashtags

From “other” - all other sources

Instagram Stories statistics

In a personal account, you can only see the total number and accounts of those who saw your Stories. To do this, swipe up from the bottom of any Story on Instagram.

After switching to a business or author account, you will have detailed statistics for each Instagram Stories. What does each statistic mean?

Replies — how many people answered you in Direct on this Story

Visits to profile - how many times after this Story they went to your account.

REACH STATISTICS

Here you will see statistics on how many people see your Stories and how they find them:

Accounts covered by this Story (Reach) - total number of people who saw this Story

Impressions - how many times this Story was viewed .

Subscriptions — how many subscriptions after this Story.

Exits — number of exits from the Stories view mode. Again, you can see the statistics of how the Story was able to keep the attention of subscribers. nine0003

How to use Instagram account statistics?

Do not draw conclusions after the first week, how to connect free statistics on Instagram. Check how it will change for at least a month. Compare weekdays, weekends and holidays, good/bad weather outside.

Don't be in a hurry to "give it all away" if your coverage dropped in late spring and summer. Previously, no one had such statistics, and people who do not know the general trends in social networks and the Internet are afraid of fluctuations in statistics in their Instagram account. In the fall and after the New Year holidays, there is always an increase, and in the spring and summer there is an outflow. Of course, this does not apply to "seasonal" businesses (spring-summer travel agencies have growth, for example). nine0003

Even though many of us have a smartphone as an extension of our hand, we still scroll through Instagram less when we are on vacation, it’s summer outside, etc. Therefore, do not rush to arrange another giveaway or pour extra money on advertising if your coverage decline is seasonal. But do not abandon your account, if necessary, make pending posts for the holidays. Then even if you yourself are resting, you will still flicker in the feed of subscribers.

You will have the most reliable statistics a year after you make it. Therefore, it is best if you monitor your indicators on Instagram and write them down separately, noting what you did - cheating, advertising with bloggers, advertising (targeting), other promotion methods. nine0003
