How to add and display contact info on Instagram

Do you want to add your business email address, phone number or physical location to your Instagram profile? Have you added contact options but they’re not showing up on your profile page? You don’t want to lose out on business because it was difficult for people to find contact details or physical store locations, or because of broken links. A bad link can be the difference between making a sale or losing a potential customer. Creating a system that guides potential customers to the information they need in a user-friendly way is vital for the growth and success of your business through social media.

You can display contact information if you have a professional Instagram account. If you currently have a personal Instagram account, check out our guide to switch to a professional account - Instagram guides you through the process and it’s free!
