Why Instagram Insights Are a Must for Beauty Professionals
Gone are the days of posting and hoping for the best. Instagram Insights shows you exactly what’s working—and what’s not—so you can fine-tune your content and connect more effectively with your audience.
Think of it as your backstage pass to better engagement, more visibility, and attracting your ideal clients.
💡 If you’re serious about growing your beauty brand, joining the ISOCLEAN Pro Programme gives you even more tools and support to turn insight into action—plus exclusive discounts and perks you’ll actually use.
Getting Started with Instagram Insights
Before diving into your data, make sure your Instagram account is set to either a Business or Creator profile. Once that’s sorted, head over to the Insights tab where you’ll find:
✔️ Reach
✔️ Engagement
✔️ Follower demographics
Instagram automatically shows data from the past 7 days, but adjusting the view to the last 30 days gives a much clearer picture of trends.
Key Instagram Metrics to Focus On
1. Accounts Reached – Are You Getting Discovered?
The “Accounts Reached” section shows how many people saw your content—including users who don’t follow you. This is key if your goal is to get noticed by new potential clients.
💡 Reels are especially strong for reach, so if you’re seeing good results, keep the momentum going with consistent video content.

2. Engagement – Are People Interacting with You?
Engagement measures the likes, comments, shares, and saves your content gets. These numbers don’t just boost your algorithm ranking—they show what your audience genuinely connects with.
Ask yourself:
-
Which posts get people talking?
-
Are tutorials getting saved for later?
-
Do behind-the-scenes moments perform better than product shots?
Once you know what’s working, you can build on that style and create more of what your audience wants.
3. Post Insights – What’s Driving Results?
You can find your top-performing posts under the “Content You Shared” section. Whether it’s a before-and-after, a product demo, or a client transformation, these are the posts that are already doing the heavy lifting.
Use this data to:
-
Double down on formats that work
-
Test new content styles with a similar tone
-
Know when to post (and what) for the best results
🔑 Members of the ISOCLEAN Pro Programme get ongoing guidance on using this kind of data to grow smarter—not just harder.
4. Follower Insights – Know Who You’re Talking To
In the "Followers" tab, you’ll find valuable details about your audience—like where they’re located, their age range, and when they’re most active.
This is especially important when you’re planning promotions, launching services, or simply scheduling your content. Posting at the right time can be the difference between a post being seen… or getting lost in the feed.
Why Monthly Check-Ins Matter
Reviewing your Instagram Insights regularly is great—but tracking your growth month by month is where real transformation happens. Over time, you’ll begin to spot patterns, seasonal changes, and key content drivers.
Things to monitor: ✅ Engagement rate
✅ Follower growth
✅ Top-performing content types
Final Thoughts: Grow with Intention
Instagram Insights is more than just data—it’s the key to growing an authentic, engaged audience and building a beauty brand that lasts. Whether you're focused on attracting new clients, building your reputation, or establishing your expertise, understanding your content performance is a non-negotiable step.
So keep experimenting, keep learning—and stay curious about what your audience wants from you.
