Preliminary operation
To see how many people visit your Instagram profile, you have to use the function Insights, which is only available for business profiles. If, therefore, at this moment you have a personal account, you must necessarily carry out the switching to a company profile, otherwise you will not be able to access the statistics that interest you.
To switch to a business account, the first thing you need to do is start the official Instagram app on your Android or iOS device and log into your account (if you haven't already done so), then tap on the button (≡) located in the upper right corner of the screen and select the wording Settings from the menu that appears laterally on the right. In the screen that opens, tap on the item Account e seleziona l'opzione Switch to a corporate account which is located at the bottom.
At this point, follow the very simple wizard that is shown to you, so as to complete the conversion of your account from personal to business. Then press on the blue button NEXT located at the bottom of the screen, select the Facebook page . to which you want to connect your Instagram profile and tap the button again NEXT which is placed at the bottom.
Don't have a Facebook page to link your profile to? No problem: you can fix it immediately by creating one at the moment. To do this, select the item Create a new Facebook Page located on the screen where you are (the one relating to the choice of the Facebook page), indicates the page title and category where you want to insert it and, finally, tap the button NEXT.
After connecting the Facebook page to your profile, specify the contact information you want to show to your audience, press the button end and, finally, tap on the item OK which is present in the box Do you want to switch to the company profile? appeared in the center of the screen.

See how many people visit your Instagram profile
Once you have made the switch from personal to business profile, you will be able to immediately see how many people have visited your Instagram profile in the last 7 days. How can you do it? After logging into your Instagram account from the official app for Android or iOS, tap on thelittle man located in the lower right corner (or on the thumbnail of your profile photo, in case you have added multiple accounts on the same device).
In the screen that opens, you should be able to see the number of people who have visited your profile in the last week. If you have a device Android, at the top of your main profile screen (immediately after your username) you should see the word [N] profile visits in the last 7 days. If you own a iPhone, instead, the wording [N] profile visits in the last 7 days it should be a little further down from your name (on the left side of the screen).
I also point out that you can see how many people have seen your Instagram profile in the last week also from the screen Insights. To reach it, tap the button (≡) located at the top right, select the item Statistics from the menu that appears laterally on the right, select the tab Activities and locate the voice Profile visits: in correspondence with the latter you will be able to see how many visits your profile has received in the last week. Easier than that?
Alternatively, you can access the section Statistics from your account Instagram from PC, by connecting to the Creator Studio tool owned by Facebook.
Tips to increase visits to your Instagram profile
Let's conclude this article with a few useful tips to increase visits to your Instagram profile. If you want to attract more visitors, try the following points and you will see that, over time, you will be able to notice some improvement.
- Use the right name for the profile - the name you choose to use on Instagram can prompt users to take a look at your profile or, on the contrary, to avoid it. This is why choosing which username to use is of paramount importance: if possible, choose a name that is easy to remember and that is also nice to pronounce. More importantly, choose a name that represents you, perhaps the same one you use on other social networks. If you want to deepen the subject and get further advice on how to choose the name of the profile on Instagram, I suggest reading the article that I have just linked to you because it could be very useful.
- Use a quality profile photo - your profile photo is the first thing users will notice when they see your name among the suggested profiles. If you use a quality photo, which is flawless and, above all, which portrays your face in its entirety, it is likely that other users are encouraged to take a look at your profile. If you use Instagram to promote your company, however, it would be better to use the logo of the latter. If possible, also use the same photo used on other social networks: those who follow you on other platforms will recognize your profile and, in addition to visiting it, will probably also start following it.
- Curate the profile biography - use all the characters at your disposal to tell in a clear and concise way what you do in life, what are your passions, your interests and so on. In addition, to improve the visibility of the profile, you can use hashtag in the biography, as long as they are relevant and inserted naturally in the text. For more tips on how to make the Instagram bio, take a look at the deepening I linked to you.
- Promote your Instagram profile on other social networks - if you are followed on other social platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, I recommend that you promote your profile on the latter in order to increase visibility. Even if it may seem like a "discounted" advice, it is certainly very valid.
