Episode 169 - The Instagram Profile Mistakes Costing You Clients
Your Instagram profile should do more than look nice. It should help the right people find you, understand what you do, and feel clear about what to do next. In this episode, we unpack the common Instagram profile mistakes that quietly cost business owners visibility, enquiries and sales, even when they’re consistently creating content.
If your profile isn’t converting profile visits into paying clients, this episode will help you make simple, strategic changes that strengthen your positioning and support more aligned business growth. We explore how to optimise your Instagram bio for SEO, how to write a call to action that actually converts, and how to use pinned posts to guide potential clients through your sales funnel in a way that feels intentional and effective.
