If a Brand has asked you to connect your Instagram account with Traackr to allow for Instagram Stories tracking, you will need to ensure that your Instagram account is classified as a Professional or Business account. This article will show you how to ensure your Instagram account is set to Professional and how to switch your account on a mobile device or PC.
Check out a short video of the process here.
Confirm if your Instagram account is set to Professional/Business:
1. From your Instagram homepage, select More and navigate to Settings.
2. Scroll down to the section titled For Professionals.
If your account is set to Personal, you will see Account Type and Tools (from here you can skip down to the section titled Set your account to Professional later in this article).
If your account is already set to Professional, you will see Professional Account under the For Professionals header.
How to set your account to Professional
1. From your Instagram homepage, select More and Navigate to Settings.
2. Scroll down to For Professionals, select Account Type and Tools, and select Switch to Professional Account.
3. On the next page, select the option that best identifies your profile (either option is supported for authentication).
4. When you arrive at the Select a Category page, select the category that best describes the type of content you make.
5. Congratulations, you have successfully changed your Instagram account to Professional!
Here is a short video that walks through the process.
