With a business account, you'll get access to business features and Instagram Insights. These tools can help you better understand who is engaging with your business on Instagram. You can also adjust the privacy of your profile in your Settings at any time.

These instructions are for accounts that would like to use Instagram's business tools. In order to make the most of Instagram's business tools, your business profile should be connected to a Facebook Page you manage. You can change and add a Facebook Page to your Instagram Business Profile from the Instagram App.

Right now, only some public figures, celebrities and brands have verified badges. You can request a verification badge by using the following steps, however submitting a request does not guarantee that your account will be verified.

1. Go to your profile and tap
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Account, then tap Request Verification.
4. After you've filled out the form, you can tap Send and your request will be reviewed.

1. Complete a description in your Instagram profile bio to tell potential customers more about your business.
2. Use Stories to provide a behind the scenes look at your business.
