- Profile picture (the logo );
- Number of publications;
- Number of followers;
- Biography (training, location, service provided, etc.).

- Brand name;
- Occupation area;
- short description of your business;

Now that you know what information your profile bio should have, I’ll give you some tips to build a perfect bio for your store’s profile. Curious? So come with me and I’ll tell you right away.
Tip 1 – expose your interests
Your biography needs to briefly demonstrate the purpose of your account. So it’s important structure a title objective, but at the same time highlight your service or product.
Tip 2 – Your contact information should be highlighted
Speaking of company, to increase the visibility of your business it is important to highlight your store’s contact information. Such as, for example, email, WhatsApp, telephone and other social networks that your company has.
Tip 3 – Insert a link in your bio
Instagram’s bio is the only place on the platform that allows you to include links. However, this function is only available to users who have more than 10,000 followers. So use this benefit to your advantage.
For virtual stores, it is possible to place the e-commerce link, thus facilitating user access.
Tip 4 – Insert CTAs (calls to action) in your bio
CTAS are short calls used in marketing to prompt users to take a certain action. Like for example:
- “access the website”;
- “download the e-book”;
- “register now”.
These calls can increase your store’s traffic or even increase your conversion rate.
Tip 5 – use keywords
Keywords are important to improve the ranking of a website. And for the Instagram biography it’s no different.
When creating a bio, focus on putting words that are related to your business and that can reflect on your customer’s search on Google.
For example, if you sell clothes, use a word structure that has a high search volume.
Customization for bio
Now that you know how to make a complete bio for your profile, I’ll teach you how to customize the bio. Below, I made a list of tips for you to learn how to customize your biography and make it the shape of your business.
1 – Choose a font that identifies you
It is possible to put a different font in the Instagram bio. To do this you can use external tools like Ig Fonts or LingoJam. In this case, just type the text and choose the font you want to insert in your bio.
Tip: Choose fonts that are easy to read and attract attention.
2 – Increase available space for biography
Instagram bio’s character limit is 160. However, you can increase this space and enter all the information you want. For that, use tools like PostBuilder or App4life and increase the content area of your biography.
These tools structure your biography vertically and don’t count spaces as characters — so you won’t exceed the 160 characters provided.
3 – Use emojis
Using emojis is a good strategy for customizing your Instagram biography. After all, this visual feature can captivate users, making your profile more organized and beautiful. What about?
4 – Add links
Instagram biography allows you to insert only one link. However, if you want to insert more than one link, use a tool called Link Tree. Basically, this tool aggregates links and can help you disseminate a set of addresses with more information.
When accessing the Link Tree, you will be able to create a page with the destination of links, allowing users to access all the addresses you selected. Interesting, don’t you think?
