3. The business has a basic profile for the business with a Business user name. One should create an appropriate business name with the business name. The business should also have a password that could be remembered by the administrator of the account. The account needs a user name that is very distinctive from the personal account.

5. The account profile should be completed by clicking the profile button which is at the bottom right to view whether the profile is completed. The business should fill in its bio and the contact which people can access the products or services they offer. 
6. One should use the Instagram business tool to complete the profile that will favor the business. The tool has some steps that guide one to complete the profile. One will be required to link the Facebook page with the Instagram Business page.
7. The business should start posting new and fresh content on a daily basis to keep the followers coming back to the site to see what is new in the business. Posting new content will be updated in the follower’s News Feed.

The account should make good use of captions and hashtags. The business should make sure that the captions used in the account are simple and brief while using hashtags that are appropriate to the business.

• The business should try following their customers in order to connect more with them and get social. Following others who view the page may prompt them to follow you and want to know what the page is about and they can become customers in the process.
• One should find a way to brand their business on this page so as to make it unique from the rest of other business pages. This will enable consumers to differentiate your business from others online.
