This article explores the benefits of Premium features and what you can get for free. Premium features include auto publishing, quick replies, and contact information. Read on to learn more. Listed below are some of the top reasons to use an Instagram business account. These features will help you grow your business on Instagram. So, how do you get started?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Auto_publishing_with_Later\"><\/span>Auto publishing with Later<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many benefits to using auto-publishing for your Instagram posts, and Later has added a new feature to its platform. Now all Later users, including those who manage an Instagram business account, can use this feature. Later is the #1 social media marketing platform for Instagram, with tools that will boost your social media presence. The company claims to have over 1.5 million users, including brands like GQ, Showtime, and MeUndies.<\/p>\n<p>To use Later, you need to connect your Instagram business profile to your Facebook page and use the app. Once you&#8217;ve connected your account, you can now schedule posts to be published at specific times. Once the posts are scheduled, you can check them off your list or schedule them for later. This scheduling tool is 100% safe, and you&#8217;ll get notifications whenever they go live. Just remember to connect your account to Later to avoid any potential security issues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Replies\"><\/span>Quick Replies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a Facebook business page, you may be interested in setting up Quick Replies on Instagram. Quick Replies allow you to respond to customers with a three-letter shortcut and answer frequently asked questions. You can customize these responses with the contact information, services you provide, and price of your product. If you&#8217;re using Instagram for business, you can use the same shortcuts. Follow these steps to set up Quick Replies for your business account.<\/p>\n<p>Create a draft direct message. Quick Replies on Instagram are helpful if you receive a lot of direct messages. The draft replies help you to respond to customers quickly and uniformly. You can also use them to answer frequently asked questions or answer questions that come up frequently. You can even create a keyboard shortcut and send out a quick reply in one click. This way, you won&#8217;t have to manually reply to each direct message.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_information\"><\/span>Contact information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your Instagram business profile must include your name, location, and email address. You can also choose to have your contact information appear in a pop-up menu. Your business can be contacted through email, phone, or message. Most businesses have contact information in their bios, but if you would prefer to have a face-to-face conversation, you should provide it on your Instagram profile. The best way to reach your business is to be visible online.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily update your business profile with contact information. You can do this by editing your public business information or by adding various contact action buttons. Once you&#8217;ve added these, you can email your clients immediately. The buttons also allow you to set up specific call-to-actions. Listed below are some examples of how to customize your Instagram contact buttons. Once you&#8217;ve added the appropriate contact information, you&#8217;re ready to go!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premium_features\"><\/span>Premium features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When deciding to upgrade your Instagram business account, you will find a number of additional features useful for the success of your brand or business.

Using Instagram for business is particularly beneficial for brands that are looking to expand their audience and increase engagement.
