If you’re wondering how your Instagram followers are displayed, your questions will be answered in the first three chapters of this book.
This manual also includes tried and true methods for organising and rearranging your client’s followers and lists of those they follow.
Instagram’s algorithm for determining who follows whom
Instagram’s algorithms for determining who joins their network and who they follow have never been made public.
Shared devotees
Mutual followers will be displayed first when seeing someone else’s list of followers or people they are following.
Mutual followers on Instagram are those that follow both your client’s and your current account.
Your customer can still see these individuals even if they don’t follow them back. Instagram built this feature to facilitate the discovery of potential friends of the person inspecting an account.
Way following
Instagram may prioritise profiles your customer also follows while seeing someone else’s list of followers.
By following each other on Instagram, individuals may more easily discover common interests.
Information on Pairwise Interactions
Likes, comments, saves, and shares are all ways users may interact with content on Instagram.
Your client’s Instagram account and the account they are following will rise in the respective follower and following counts as the amount of interaction between the two accounts increases.
Even if your customer doesn’t follow the user, if they interact with their account regularly, the user may still show up at the top of the list. However, they will eventually be overrun by individuals that follow and frequently interact with your customer on Instagram.
Tags and Direct Messages (DMs) on Instagram, which suggest a personal relationship, also have a significant impact on who you follow and who you follow. These kinds of communications between Instagram users indicate a deeper connection between them than the service alone can provide.
Newer adherents
New followers may appear towards the top of your client’s follower list, behind only the most relevant and active people.
Someone who just started following you might not be familiar with your brand. On the other hand, they may get to the top of the list if they regularly posted to Instagram, had a sizable number of followers, and were generally engaged.
Geographical position
Location is another important aspect that might determine which Instagram people your customer chooses to follow.
Your client is more likely to choose a provider who is physically based in the same city as them.
For instance, if your customer is headquartered in the United States, they are more likely to follow accounts in the United States.
Customers and users in neighbouring urban centres are in the same boat.
If the followers have already interacted with your client’s account, they are more likely to be at the top of the following list, regardless of geography.
High popularity and a large fan base.
Instagram users that have a large number of followers or who follow a large number of accounts will appear higher on your client’s list of followers.
Instagram profiles with fewer followers and fewer people followed will fall to the bottom of your client’s following list.
There are many posts
Your client accounts’ amount of posts is another feature that may boost their popularity and gain you more followers and a larger following.
Instagram profiles with plenty of activity typically rank higher in both follower and follower numbers.
This is because individuals are more inclined to stick around and investigate the feed and profile of users with a high number of posts.
The more posts your client’s account has, the more likely it is that Instagram’s algorithm will prioritise it in follower lists.
A large and influential following
Finally, it’s possible that the most popular Instagram users will end up in the upper half of anyone’s follower and following lists.
