10 Instagram Bio Ideas [FREE BIO GENERATOR + TEMPLATES]

Your Instagram bio gives you 150 characters to explain who you are, what you offer, and why people should follow you.

As far as history goes, we’re living in charmed times — but Shakespeare never had to write an Instagram bio (and let’s face it, the man wasn’t known for being concise). Typing those fateful words into your profile is stressful, and for good reason: your Instagram bio is often the first place other users will look when they’re deciding whether or not to follow you.

Here’s everything you need to know about Instagram bios, and how to write one worthy of a three-act play. Wherefore art thou bio?

What is an Instagram bio?

A bio on Instagram is a description of your account that can be up to 150 characters long and sits at the very top of your profile page, next to your profile picture. It’s a snapshot of your Instagram account and a quick way to show users who you are and what you’re about.

Because of the limited character count, an Instagram bio needs to be concise, easy to read and informative… but don’t be afraid to have fun with it. Emojis and jokes are fair game, even for professionals using the platform. After reading your bio, people should understand what you do and why they should follow you.

Create. Schedule. Publish. Engage. Measure. Win.

What makes a good bio for Instagram?

A good Instagram bio is a bio that users can’t resist interacting with, whether it’s by slamming that “follow” button, scrolling through (and liking and commenting on) your content, watching your story highlights or sending your Instagram profile to friends. The best Instagram bios are short and sweet, and genuinely convey your personality as a creator or brand.

For more details, watch our video on making the PERFECT Instagram bio:

When you’re dreaming up your bio, try asking yourself these questions — especially if you’re using Instagram for business :

• What is your brand promise?
• How about your brand personality: Funny? Serious? Informative? Playful?
• What are your special skills?
• Are you a local business? National? Global?
• What makes your product or service unique?
• What is the first thing you want people to do after they visit your profile?

On that last point: All good marketing materials should include a clear and compelling call to action . Good Insta bios are no exception. Give visitors clear direction if you want them to click the link in your bio, follow your account or take a different specific action.

You might want to add a link to your bio to send people to a page where they can buy your products, or you might have a different conversion goal in mind. Maybe you want people to Like your Facebook page , follow you on TikTok or sign up for your newsletter.

If your goal is to build an Instagram following , your call to action might be simply to ask visitors to press that follow button, or to share their photos with a branded hashtag .

10 Instagram bio ideas

Want to write your Instagram bio from scratch but feeling a little stuck? Have no fear — there are literally 1.22 billion Instagram users you can get inspiration from. Here are a few bio ideas for Instagram to get you started.

1. Funny Instagram bios

Unfortunately, there’s nothing less funny than trying to be funny. The key to a comedic Instagram bio is keeping honest, like this one from a drink brand.

Playing to your audience — and embracing how they see your brand — is another way to get laughs.

Source: @buglesmemes

And when all else fails, being quippy and somewhat vague is also a good source of comedy. If chaos is your brand, embrace it.

2. Instagram bio quotes

Using Instagram bio quotes can be a great way to express an idea or create a feeling of connection.

You could use a saying, a line from a poem or song, or any phrase that will mean something to potential followers. Just make sure to give credit where credit is due if you use someone else’s words.

The Quotations Page is a good place to start your search for good Instagram bio quotes.

Here are 15 quote ideas you can copy and paste directly into your Instagram bio.

• Happiness depends upon ourselves – Aristotle
• We’re all born naked and the rest is drag – RuPaul
• Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time – Barack Obama
• I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done – Lucille Ball
• Imagination is more important than knowledge – Albert Einstein
• You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – Wayne Gretzky
• Cherish forever what makes you unique, cuz you’re really a yawn if it goes – Bette Midler
• If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one – Dolly Parton
• Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game – Babe Ruth
• I am a rich man – Cher
• You can be the lead in your own life – Kerry Washington
• When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful – Malala Yousafzai

3. Creative Instagram bios

A bio may only be 150 characters, but that’s more than enough to stretch that creative muscle. During the launch of Netflix’s Heartstopper , the company changed their bio to an invite for the main actors to start a band.

Source: @netflix

This bio from Crocs is so creative, it takes a second to understand — we’ll let you read it before spoiling.

Source: @crocs

Did you get it? It’s “If you ain’t Croc-ing, you ain’t rocking.”

If you can’t make up your mind, do it all. Insta-famous Italian greyhound Tika has emojis, a quote from Lizzo, “Fashion Model” and “Gay Icon” status, and a link to her book in her bio. Impressive (but not as impressive as a dog writing a book).

Source: @tikatheiggy

4. Cool Instagram bios

“All your friends are so cool, you go out every night” — Olivia Rodrigo. Who is pretty cool herself: this short, informative and rhyming bio says it all.

Source: @oliviarodrigo

Another way to up the cool factor: commit an ultimate branding faux pas and don’t introduce yourself in an easily identifiable way. For example, most folks would identify Serena Williams as a tennis superstar. In her Instagram bio, she’s simply “Olympia’s mom.” It feels very true to her, and that’s cool.

Source: @serenawilliams

There’s a pattern here — ”cool” and “short” go hand-in-hand. If you want a cool bio for Instagram, being too wordy won’t help. If that’s what you’re going for, try and be as concise as possible. Like Lizzo.

Source: @lizzobeeating

5. Short Instagram bios

Speaking of short — if you don’t need 150 characters, don’t use them. Dating app Bumble’s bio simply prompts folks to make the first move.

Source: @bumble

Fewer words makes the words you do use more powerful, and really makes a statement.

Source: @bobthedragqueen

Or, you can go in a totally opposite direction and write a short bio that few, if any, will understand. You do you.

Source: @kirstentitus

6. Clever Instagram bios

A clever Instagram bio will score a chuckle (and hopefully a follow) from users. Stay self aware and lighthearted, and the cleverness will come. Old Spice’s bio is a play on the bizarre masculinity that’s present in men’s deodorant branding.

Source: @oldspice

Tiffany Haddish hypes herself, but stays humble in her Instagram bio.

Source: @tiffanyhaddish

And sometimes, the cleverest route is the simplest: in a world of people trying to be as cool as possible, artist Allie Brosh just tells it like it is, and really stands out.

Source: @allie_brosh

7. Instagram bios with emojis

Emojis are like cheating (the good kind). When words fail, emojis are there. Designers Josh and Matt describe their relationship, career, home base and pets all in a single line of emojis.

Source: @joshandmattdesign

You can also use emojis like bullet points for a super-aesthetic look.

Source: @oliveandbeanphoto

Or, go with the classic (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it) and substitute emojis for the words they represent — hearts for love, etc.

Source: @pickle.the.pig

8. Instagram business bios

If you’re using Instagram for business, a bio can be a great place to introduce yourself (more and more folks are using social media to research brands ). Kraft peanut butter has a great example of a succinct bio that describes their company.

Source: @kraftpeanutbutter_ca

Businesses can also use their bio to describe their brand ethos, and what makes them different from others in the industry.

Source: @ocin

If you’re doing affiliate marketing or partnering with other businesses, a bio is a good place to put discount codes or promotions related to those affiliations.

Source: @phillychinchilly

9. Instagram bios with links

Your link in bio is a rich place for users to gain more resources and information about your brand. Make sure your audience sees it by pointing to it. Yeah, we mean literally. Clothing brand Free Label uses their bio to identify what the link is (in this case, a path to their latest launch).

Source: @free.label

In a similar fashion, artist Zoe Si uses her bio to point to her latest book, which is accessible through her link in bio.

Source: @zoesees

10. Informative Instagram bios

Sometimes, you just want the facts. Having the answer to your most frequently asked questions — in the example below, that’s probably “When are you open?” — can pay off. It might not be fun, but it’s simple and clear.

13 Instagram bio tricks you may not know about

Hungry for more? We got you. Here are some tips to make sure you have the best bio for Instagram.

1. Use fancy Instagram bio fonts

Technically, you can only use one “font” in your Instagram bio. But there are tools out there that will help you create the look of a custom font by mapping your text to existing special characters.

Here’s an example of what Hootsuite writer Christine’s bio looks like in a few different fonts, as created using the tool Instagram Fonts .

That third one is a little bonkers, but you could pick and choose a few words to incorporate strategically for visual appeal. In general, it’s a good idea to use this trick sparingly, for emphasis, rather than dressing your entire bio up in fancy fonts.

Once you find a font style you like, just copy and paste it into your Instagram bio.

2. Use Instagram bio symbols

We’ve already talked about using emojis. But you can also go old-school and use special text symbols to break ★ up ★ your ★ bio. (Remember Wingdings and Webdings? How very 1990s.)

This trick uses the same principle as the tip above, but instead of using symbols to create the look of a custom font, you can use them as retro emojis or unique bullet points:

Source: @blogger

The easiest way to find your special character is to open a new Google Doc, then click Insert and choose Special characters.

You can scroll through the available options, search by keyword, or even draw a shape to find a similar character. Then, just copy and paste into your Instagram bio.

3. Add a location

This is particularly useful for businesses: customers will want to know who (and where) they’re buying from. Marking your location can also help your brand be more searchable.

When you add your address to your Instagram business profile, it also appears below your bio but does not use up any of your bio character count. This is another great way to free up space for more compelling bio information. Be warned, your address only shows up on mobile.

Source: @pourhouse

4. Add contact buttons

Business profiles can include contact information in the form of buttons that allow people to phone you, email you, or get directions to your business directly from Instagram. This is another one that only shows up on mobile.

Source: @midnightpaloma

5. Add a call to action button

Another mobile-only feature: You can encourage people to take action straight from your Instagram bio with CTA buttons. These allow your followers to take direct actions like ordering food from your restaurant, or buying tickets for your event.

Source: @maenamrestaurant

You’ll find these options under Action Buttons when editing your business profile.

6. Add a link in bio

You get one clickable link in your Instagram bio. Since you can’t use clickable links in Instagram feed posts (unless you’re using Instagram ads or Instagram Shopping ), your bio link is valuable real estate.

You can change the URL as often as you like. You might want to link to your newest or most important content (like your latest blog post or video), a special campaign, or a landing page specifically for visitors coming from Instagram .

You can also use Instagram tools like Hootbio to set up a mobile landing page with multiple links. That way, you don’t have to keep updating the link in your Instagram bio, which can lead to outdated “link in bio” statements on older posts.

To get started with Hootbio, sign in to your Hootsuite account and navigate to the Create section of the dashboard. There, select Hootbio from the menu.

Note: Hootbio is available to Team, Business, and Enterprise plan Hootsuite users. If you are a Professional plan user, upgrade now to access this feature.

To build your Hootbio page, start with basic profile information:

• Profile name. This will show up as the heading at the top of your page.
• Profile description. This is the subtitle text located below your profile name.
• Profile picture. We recommend using an image aligned with the branding of your Instagram account to keep the look of your bio page familiar and on-brand.
• Your website. This is where you create a URL for your link in bio page. We will let you know if a URL has already been claimed by someone else.

Then, add your links. Every link has to include a URL and text that will be displayed on the button. You can also add images to links, but this feature is optional.

To change the order of links on your page, simply drag and drop them using the triple bar icon.

When you’re done, click Update in the top right corner of the page.

Try for free

You can also direct followers to your other social accounts — or your email inbox — using dedicated buttons.

Head to the Social section of the menu to set up links for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Messenger, and email .

To save your changes, click Update in the top right corner of the dashboard.

In the Design section, you can customize the design of your Hootbio page. Pick one of the recommended color themes, or customize your font, button, and background colors to make the page truly yours.

When you’re done — you guessed it — click Update in the top right corner of your screen.

That’s it! Your Hootbio page is ready. To start using it, copy the link displayed in the top right corner of the dashboard, and paste it into your Instagram and TikTok bios. You can update your bio whenever you need, but note that URL edits are restricted to once every six months.

7. Use your bio to direct traffic to another platform or website

If your primary social media is on a different platform and you consider Instagram a necessary evil, that’s okay — you can use your bio as a way to direct other users to that platform.

Comedian Ziwe Fumudoh rarely posts on Instagram, but is very active on TikTok, so she uses her bio to steer audiences towards that app.

Lush, weirdly, “departed” from social media but still has an active Instagram and uses their link in bio to explain why they’re not online.

Source: @lushcosmetics

8. Use line breaks

People don’t tend to read information online. Instead, they scan for bite-sized chunks of information.

Make that information easy to identify using line breaks.

Okoko Cosmetiques uses a combination of emojis and line breaks to create this cute Instagram bio:

Source: @okokocosmetiques

It’s really easy to add line breaks using the Instagram web interface. Simply space your bio as you would like it to appear.

On mobile, your best bet is to create your bio with the spacing you want using a notes app. Then, copy and paste it into your Instagram bio field. Or, use one of the Instagram bio templates below.

9. Share your pronouns

If you want to, it’s great to share your pronouns on Instagram. Since the option was first added in May 2021 , it’s become customary on the app to add your pronouns to your bio, whether you’re cisgender, transgender or nonbinary. Displaying your pronouns means your followers will know how to properly address you, and normalizing the practice helps make everyone feels more comfortable on the platform.

Source: @ddlovato

10. Use Hashtags

Hashtags in your Instagram bio are clickable links. Keep in mind, though, that Instagram bios do not appear in hashtag search results. Adding Instagram hashtags to your bio won’t make it more discoverable.

That means you should not include hashtags unless they are directly related to your business, because each one represents an opportunity for potential followers to click away.

However, adding a branded hashtag to your bio is a great way to promote and collect user-generated content.

This is one of the best ways for businesses to use hashtags in their bio. When a user clicks on the hashtag, they will see all the content your fans and followers have posted, which creates excellent social proof for your business .

Source: @hellotushy

Branded hashtags are also a great way to get more content: you can reshare follower’s posts that use the hashtag. In fact, some users build their entire following off of user-submitted posts.

Source: @chihuahua_vibes

11. Use your bio to link to other accounts

If you have a personal and a business account, or you’re involved in a cool project that has its own handle, you can tag that account in your bio. This can help people identify you (Oh, THAT’S where I know Zendaya from) but be careful using them, as they may encourage audiences to navigate away from your page. (This is something Zendaya likely does not care about).

Source: @zendaya

12. Add a category

If you have a business profile on Instagram , you can choose a category for your business. This appears under your name and can help people see what you do at a glance.

Source: @elmo

Elmo, for example, is a public figure.

Using a category for your business can free up space in your Instagram bio, since you don’t need to repeat this information. However, it only appears in the mobile view, so you can’t assume everyone will see it.

13. Announce news

As long as you remember to update your bio regularly, you can use it to announce news about new products and updates for your brand. If you’re going to put a date in your bio, though, mark your calendar or set a reminder to change it. If you have an old date in your bio, it makes your account look like it’s not being monitored closely.

After Mexican pizza made its triumphant return, Taco Bell updated this bio.

8 Ways to Level-up Your Instagram Bio

Say hello to the new digital handshake. 🤝

Nowadays, your Instagram bio is pretty much a cover letter, portfolio, and website all wrapped up in one.

And with just seconds (and limited character space) to introduce yourself and convey your value, how do you decide which details to include? 

We've got you covered. We're sharing eight tips to craft a memorable (and effective) Instagram bio — plus, our favorite link in bio tool .

Table of Contents

What is an instagram bio, instagram bio faq, what makes a good instagram bio, 5 different types of instagram bios, 8 instagram bio ideas.

Geographically, an Instagram bio sits beneath your profile picture and is used to describe the contents of your page.

This space includes:

A display name (aka the name field)

Page category

150 character description

One external link

Contact information

And because your bio is often the first touch point for new visitors, it’s the perfect opportunity to communicate who you are, and what you offer, straight from the jump (more on that below!). 

Pssst, level-up your Instagram bio with Linkin.bio by Later — a mini web page built into your profile that makes your content more clickable. Create a free account today :

Here are a few commonly-asked questions about Instagram bios — from how to edit them to adding your pronouns. Bookmark it for future reference!

How to Edit Your Instagram Bio:

To edit your Instagram bio, head to your profile and tap “Edit profile,” tap “Bio,” and add your description:

NOTE: Instagram bios can only be up to 150 characters long. 

Tap “Done” and voila — a new bio is born!

How to Add a Link to Your Instagram Bio:

Head to your Instagram profile, tap “Edit profile” and tap “Links”:

At this stage, you can either add up to five links, or link to a custom landing page that houses multiple links to all your important content:

Using a custom link in bio landing page maximizes the given space and allows you to drive way more traffic than you could with only five links.

Plus, you save yourself the effort of changing the links in your Instagram bio each time you have a new destination or a new call to action. Win-win!

How to Add Pronouns to Your Instagram Bio:

To add pronouns to your Instagram bio, head to your profile, tap “Edit profile,” and tap “Pronouns”:

Here, you can add up to four pronouns (that you can edit or remove at any time) and choose whether or not to toggle “Show to Followers Only”:

Tap “Done” and you’ve successfully added pronouns to your bio!

A good Instagram bio can mean the difference between a visitor hitting follow, or tapping away.

And with only 150 characters to set the stage, the greats keep their bios short, sweet, and most importantly, informative.

Check out how the Black in Fashion Council account communicates what they’re all about in one concise sentence:

You can also use your bio to encourage users to take action — whether it's through a compelling CTA (call-to-action) to your website or a branded hashtag for collecting UGC ( user-generated content ).

For example, see how Book of the Month implores users to join their branded hashtag — resulting in over 500K posts:

Suffice to say, action + your brand’s story = an increase in engagement and conversions, too.

Ready to learn what it takes to create a killer Instagram bio? Here are eight tactics to stand out from the crowd: 

Share Your Story 

Include Targeted Keywords in the Name Field

Use a Link in Bio Tool

Add a Call-To-Action and Action Buttons

Share Your Contact Information 

Choose a Relevant Profile Picture

Tag Related Accounts and Add Your Branded Hashtag 

Use Instagram Stories Highlights

Instagram Bio Idea #1: Share Your Story  

Like Charles Wright once sang, express yourself!

Think of your Instagram bio as a 150-character sales pitch.

Whether it’s a bulleted list or a few short lines, use this space to speak directly to your target audience and detail your story.

That way, new visitors and prospective customers will understand you or your brand, immediately. 

Take a look at how Sarah Chetrit introduces herself, and what her page offers in three succinct lines:

By laying down the groundwork and communicating her value, this fine-tuned bio has the power to turn visitors into followers.  

P. S. Don’t be afraid to add a bit of personality to the mix. Emojis and relevant puns are highly encouraged here.  

Instagram Bio Idea #2: Use Targeted Keywords in the Name Field

Did you know that the name field in your Instagram bio is completely separate from your username?

It’s a valuable (and rarely used!) SEO tactic to reach even more users as they search — improving your visibility on the app.

So, take a moment to brainstorm keywords your ideal customer might search for on Instagram. This could be your niche, the products you sell, or the city your business is located. 

Once you find the right keywords, pop them in!

For example, check out how content creator Lauren Toyota uses the name field to reveal more about her page:

Rather than simply using “chef”, Lauren includes the keywords, “vegan chef” to open up a world of discovery for her account.

Now, if someone searches “vegan chef” on Instagram’s Explore Page, Lauren's account has a better chance of appearing in the list of results: 

Just remember to consider what your visitors might be looking for and use your Instagram bio’s name field to your advantage!

Looking to boost your SEO ranking? We’re sharing 3 easy ways to increase your discoverability in the video below: 

Instagram Bio Idea #3: Use a Link in Bio Tool

Your Instagram bio only allows one external link, so it’s important to be strategic about how you use it.

With Later's link in bio tool , you can create a landing page with unlimited button links and a clickable version of your Instagram feed:

This makes it easier to direct followers to specific web pages referenced in your posts, without having to frequently update the URL in your Instagram bio.

Instagram Bio Idea #4: Add a Call-to-action and Action Buttons

If you want to drive more engagement from your bio, all you have to do is ask!

For example, if you’re offering a new promo, a resource, or requesting a follow, make sure to let your profile visitors know.

Apostrophe invites users to partake in a CTA by tagging their account for a chance to be featured:

Whichever CTA (or CTAs) you choose, remember to be clear and specific. 

The clearer you are, the better the chance of driving tons of traffic and engagement. 

Another tactic to encourage more taps on your profile? Make use of those Action Buttons. 

Depending on your account, you can include: Order food, Book now, Get quote, Reserve, or View shop:

This way, you create an easier access point to yourself and your services.

Instagram Bio Idea #5: Include Contact Details

If you want your profile to be a one-stop-shop for new visitors, you’ll need to make it easy for them to contact you.

One of the best ways to do that is to switch to an Instagram Business profile.

Doing so lets you include your email address, phone number, and WhatsApp without sacrificing any precious character space:

Additionally, you can include a business or brand category that will appear underneath your name field — so people can know what you do:

Once that’s all set up, a visitor can easily reach out to you directly via email, a phone call, or be given directions to your location with ease.

Instagram Bio Idea #6: Choose a Relevant Profile Picture

When it comes to social branding, your profile picture is what people recognize most.

If you’re a brand or product-based business, you’ll want to ensure that everyone who lands on your Instagram profile is quickly introduced to who you are.

Think company logo, or a clear shot of a product you’re best known for:

On the other hand, if you’re an influencer, creator, or offer a personal service — such as a photographer, or life coach — you might want to use a headshot.

Why? Because “you” are the main part of your brand, and you should introduce yourself to visitors right off the bat.

Faith Broussard Cade , Liana Satenstein , and Lauren Spencer each use an on-brand headshot to keep things clear:

Though it might sound simple, using a headshot or logo helps followers instantly recognize your brand as they scroll Instagram. 

TIP: Much like a diamond, clarity is key. Be sure to choose a clear, high-resolution image.

Instagram Bio Idea #7: Tag Related Accounts and a Branded Hashtag

Major “hack” alert: profile usernames and hashtags included in your Instagram bio are clickable links.

Why does this matter?

Because it gives you the ability to promote sister brands, highlight your founder’s Instagram account, or drive traffic to a branded hashtag.

Take a look at how Wan Wan Thai Restauran t uses their Instagram bio to spotlight three sister restaurants, @wayla.nyc , @kimika.nyc , and @lotusandcleaver :

While Deepica Mutyala and Reels Tips highlight branded hashtags in their bios:

NOTE: Placing hashtags in your Instagram bio doesn’t make your profile discoverable via hashtag search, but a branded hashtag can help you spotlight and collect user-generated content (UGC) .

Instagram Bio Idea #8: Use Instagram Stories Highlights

Instagram Stories Highlights appear directly under your Instagram bio and play as a stand-alone story when someone taps on them.

They’re perfect for sharing valuable information about your brand, spotlighting your community, and showing your personality.

Skincare brand Glow Recipe uses highlights to showcase how its recycling program works, announce new products, and share blog content like their “Boss Babes” series:

This provides additional information and value to profile visitors, so it’s a good idea to be strategic in how you set them up.

PRO TIP: To elevate your Instagram Stories Highlights even further, create a set of covers to ensure a consistent look and feel. 

Suzanne Spiegoski and Herbivore Botanicals have created cover images and icons that reflect their overall vibe: 

However you decide to style your Instagram Stories Highlights, a consistent collection can make your bio more appealing and click-worthy.

And that’s it, eight tactics to level-up your Instagram bio to attract your ideal audience, drive traffic, and convert sales. 

If you haven't updated your Instagram bio in a while, now’s the perfect time to give it a refresh and turn visitors into followers!

Understanding the Elements of a Great Instagram Bio

An Instagram bio is more than just a few words under your profile picture; it’s a crucial part of your online identity and a powerful tool for connecting with your audience. Whether you’re crafting a personal profile or a business account, understanding the key components of an engaging Instagram bio can significantly enhance your social media presence. Below, we’ll explore the essential elements of a great Instagram bio, providing insights and Instagram bio ideas to help you stand out.

Key Components of an Instagram Bio

1. Name and Username:  Your name and username are the first things people notice. While your username should be consistent with your brand and easy to search, your name field can be optimized with keywords or a variation of your name to make your profile more discoverable.

2. Bio Section:  This is where you tell your story. In 150 characters, you need to convey who you are, what you do, and what followers can expect from your page. It’s a good idea to include relevant keywords related to your niche here to improve visibility. For instance, if you’re a fitness enthusiast, incorporating terms like “fitness tips” or “health coach” can attract a targeted audience.

3. Website Link:  Instagram allows you to include one clickable link in your bio. This could be a link to your website, a landing page, or a link tree directing followers to multiple destinations. It’s a precious space for driving traffic from your Instagram profile to other platforms.

4. Contact Information:  For business accounts, Instagram provides the option to include contact buttons for email, phone, and directions. Making it easy for followers to reach out can enhance engagement and conversion rates.

5. Call to Action:  Encouraging visitors to take a specific action can be powerful. Whether it’s asking them to check out your latest blog post, sign up for a newsletter, or explore your product line, a clear call to action can guide your audience to engage more deeply with your brand.

The Role of Emojis and Special Characters

Incorporating emojis and special characters into your Instagram bio can make your profile more visually appealing and attention-grabbing. Emojis can break up text, highlight key points, and convey emotions or concepts in a fun and relatable way. However, it’s important to use them judiciously to maintain clarity and professionalism, especially for business accounts.

Emojis can also serve as bullet points or markers, leading the eye to your most important information, such as your contact details or unique selling points. Special characters, like stars or arrows, can add an extra layer of creativity and help your bio stand out in a crowded space.

Crafting Your Instagram Bio

Creating the perfect Instagram bio doesn’t have to be daunting. By understanding and leveraging these key elements, you can craft a bio that truly represents you or your brand and attracts your ideal audience. Remember, your Instagram bio is often the first impression you make on potential followers—it’s worth investing the time to get it right. With these Instagram bio ideas and tips, you’re well on your way to making a lasting impact on your visitors.

 Defining Your Purpose

Before you start drafting your bio, it’s crucial to understand the purpose behind your Instagram account. Are you looking to share personal stories and experiences, or are you aiming to promote a business or brand? Your purpose will significantly influence the tone and content of your bio.

• Personal Accounts : For personal accounts, your bio should reflect who you are and what interests you. It’s your chance to introduce yourself to potential followers and give them a reason to follow you.
• Professional Accounts : If you’re creating a bio for a business or professional account, focus on what your business does, the value it offers, and what sets it apart from competitors. Your bio should act as a concise elevator pitch that attracts your target customers.

Writing Tips for a Memorable Bio

Once you’ve defined the purpose of your Instagram account, consider these tips to craft a bio that captures attention:

• Conciseness is Key : Instagram bios have a 150-character limit, so it’s important to be succinct. Every word should serve a purpose, whether it’s conveying your personality or highlighting your brand’s unique selling proposition.
• Use Keywords : Incorporating relevant keywords into your bio can improve your account’s visibility in search results. Think about what your target audience might be searching for and include those keywords naturally in your bio.
• Show Your Personality : Whether it’s through humor, inspirational quotes, or a professional tone, make sure your bio reflects who you are or what your brand stands for. This authenticity can make your account more relatable and engaging.
• Regular Updates : Keep your bio fresh by updating it regularly. This could mean swapping out links, updating your accomplishments, or refreshing your call to action. Regular updates can keep your profile relevant and engaging for your followers.

• Share a favorite quote that inspires you or describes your outlook on life.

• Contact Information : If your account is business-oriented, include a direct way for customers to contact you, such as an email address or phone number.
• Emojis and Special Characters : Use these sparingly to break up text, highlight key points, or replace words, saving space and adding a visual element to your bio.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should i update my instagram bio.

Updating your Instagram bio regularly is a great practice, especially if you have new achievements, links, or Instagram bio ideas to share. While there’s no set frequency, consider revisiting your bio every 3-6 months or whenever there’s a significant change in your personal life or business that you’d like to highlight.

What are the best practices for using emojis in my Instagram bio?

Emojis can make your bio more visually appealing and can help convey your personality or brand tone effectively. Best practices include:

• Choosing emojis that align with your message or industry.
• Using them sparingly to enhance, not overwhelm, your text.
• Ensuring they are universally understood to maintain clarity for your audience.

How can I incorporate a call to action (CTA) without sounding pushy in my Instagram bio?

A CTA is crucial for guiding your followers on what to do next, whether it’s visiting your website, booking an appointment, or checking out your latest post. To incorporate a CTA without sounding pushy, keep it simple, friendly, and direct. Use inviting language, like “Visit our website for more!” or “Click the link to discover!” This approach integrates seamlessly with your Instagram bio ideas, making the action feel natural rather than forced.

Can I use the same bio across all my social media platforms?

While consistency in branding across platforms is important, it’s also beneficial to tailor your bio to fit the unique features and audience of each platform. What works as an Instagram bio might not fit the character limit or tone of Twitter or LinkedIn. However, the core message and Instagram bio ideas can remain consistent, with slight adjustments to cater to each platform’s audience and format.

How do I choose the right hashtags for my Instagram bio?

Incorporating hashtags into your Instagram bio can increase your discoverability but choose them wisely. Opt for 1-2 relevant hashtags that closely align with your brand, location, or industry. Avoid overly popular hashtags as they may not effectively target your desired audience. Instead, focus on niche or branded hashtags that speak directly to those interested in your specific Instagram bio ideas.

Is it important to include keywords in my Instagram bio for search optimization?

Yes, including relevant keywords in your Instagram bio can improve your profile’s visibility in search results. Identify keywords that your target audience might use to find content related to your niche or industry. Incorporate these keywords naturally into your bio description to make it easier for users to discover your profile when searching for those terms.

What should I do if I run out of space in my Instagram bio?

Instagram bios have a limit of 150 characters, so space is precious. If you’re running out of space, prioritize the most important information: who you are, what you do, and how to contact you or take the next step (CTA). Use emojis judiciously as they can save space and convey messages succinctly. Consider using a link in bio tool to direct followers to a page with more detailed information, links, or resources.

An Instagram bio is all about making a strong first impression. 

Most people decide whether to follow (or ignore) an account based on your bio.

If your Instagram bio is enticing, someone might decide to engage with your content or follow your account. If it isn’t, you might lose their interest. 

In this article, we’ll look at some cool Instagram bio ideas that you can literally copy and paste into your profile. You’ll also learn how an Instagram bio works, how to write one, and some cool Instagram bio tricks.

What is an Instagram bio?

An Instagram bio is the small area under your username, where you can share some details about yourself or your brand. Your Instagram bio can include a brief self- or brand description, contact information, emojis, branded hashtag, and more. 

Here’s an example of one of the best bios on Instagram, by Sabrina Phillip . 

→ Click Here to Launch Your Online Business with Shopify

Sabrina’s Instagram bio is powerful. The first line tells you what she does: “I help women make millions online.” 

The second line highlights her roles: “speaker, podcaster, multiple-7-figure CEO.” 

The third line adds a personal touch: “dog mom to @thescottishdoodles.” 

The fourth line talks about her additional interest: “travel writer @sabrinainscotland.” 

And the last line is her CTA, directing you to her webpage at www.liinks.co/sabrinamphilipp . 

She also includes emojis to make the text more eye-catching. 

If you’re looking for Instagram bio ideas that balance professional accomplishments with personal interests, Sabrina’s profile is a great example.

What makes a good Instagram bio?

You can write your Instagram bio any way you want. However, it’s best to apply tried-and-tested Instagram bio tips:

1. Describe your personal brand

The best Instagram bios tend to have a self-description. Things to consider adding: your job title(s), the company you own or work for, some claims to fame, things you love, and what makes you stand out.

Queen Latifah’s Instagram bio does a great job of describing her personal brand. In the first line of her bio she writes, “Actor/Rapper/Singer/Producer.” When people visit her fan page, they’ll learn that she’s not just an actor and may check out her other gigs to learn more about her. 

Plus, that little blue verification mark appears on her page, so people instantly recognize her account's authenticity when they visit. A key takeaway from her profile is that you can hook people even with a short Instagram bio.

2. Highlight your interests

To make a good first impression, you need to connect with your audience. 

How can you do that? By sharing your interests. 

For example, Paola Antonini’s Instagram bio shares a subtle hint about who she is and what her Instagram account is all about. For her interests, she shares, “Lifestyle | Travel | Gratitude.” 

When you see the word “gratitude” thrown in there, you get a little intrigued. And after scrolling through some pictures, you immediately see that she has a prosthetic leg. 

Many of her Instagram posts include pictures of her living life, traveling, and having fun, which makes her interesting. Her 2.6 million followers likely agree. 

The best bio will always be the one that’s easy to read and highlights your key passions.

3. Share your contact information 

If you’re the owner of a fan page or business, or you’re a public figure, your Instagram bio should include your contact information. 

Most people write something like, “For business enquiries, email [email protected] .” You can also direct people to your DM for sending messages. 

The app company A Color Story includes its email address in its Instagram bio for easy communication. This simplifies the way followers and potential collaborators can get in touch with the business.

4. Add a call to action

Whether you’re a business owner or an influencer , having a call to action in your Instagram bio is a must. 

Remember: You’ve got one link that you can include for users to click on. So throw in a request to “Sign up for my course,” “Check out my latest blog post,” or “Shop the hottest fashion products now.” 

Tony Robbins’ Instagram bio example includes the CTA “⬇️ Podcast.” The arrow emoji points down to the link to get some extra attention.

90+ Instagram Bio Ideas to Help You Write an Impactful Bio

Published: March 08, 2023

When I discover a new brand and land on its Instagram profile, the first thing I do is read its bio. Their bio gives me a peek into the brand, what they stand for, and even the special offers they have.

Getting your bio right can help you entice visitors and make sales. In this post, you’ll learn what makes a good Instagram bio and see brand examples.

What should your Instagram bio include?

11 instagram bio ideas for travel businesses, 10 instagram bio ideas for saas companies, 9 creative instagram bio ideas for etsy shops, 10 simple instagram bio ideas for apparel, 11 emoji-heavy instagram bio ideas, 3 hashtag-heavy instagram bio ideas, 10 offer-focused bio ideas with calls-to-action, 10 short instagram bio ideas, 11 bio ideas for restaurants and coffee shops, 5 mixed instagram bio ideas.

Every Instagram profile should have the following:

• A name. This is your business name, which will help your current and prospective customers easily find you.
• A profile picture. Having your logo as your profile picture will help with brand recall and recognition. Just be sure to be consistent across all social networks.
• A link. This could be a link to your website or a Linktree leading to various pages.
• A description. This can be anything from your mission statement to your latest product feature. It tells users what your brand is about in just a few words.
• Calls-to-action. Want to direct social media users to your products and/or services? Use the "Shop Now" call to action (CTA). You could also have a "Contact Us" CTA to direct users to your phone or email.

Beyond the essentials, an Instagram bio can also have hashtags relevant to your brand or industry. Now that you know what to include, let’s see some examples from real brands.

The travel industry is about new experiences, emotions, and joy. When visitors land on travel Instagram pages, they want to lose themselves in the sweet anticipation of a long-awaited vacation.

Your company’s Instagram bio plays a huge role in that very first moment. Here, you dictate the overall mood, communicate values, and set expectations.

Let’s see how travel companies from around the world handle Instagram bios.

1. Travel Talk

Travel Talk Tours asserts you will gain an unforgettable trip by playing around with strong adjectives like “ epic .”

What we love: The company prompts its customers to engage with its account by posting vacay photos under the brand’s hashtag to be featured on the company’s page. This is an effective way to attract new customers and boost the egos of current ones.

2. G Adventures

Some people like to travel in small groups of up to 4-8 people. If you deliver such services, make it your unique sales proposition (USP), as G Adventures does.

Pro tip: Frontload the Instagram bio with your unique USP to capture people's attention straight away.

3. Top Travel Agency

Image Source

Top Travel Agency uses multiple emojis in the form of a bulleted list to emphasize its copy. This delivers all the necessary information about the agency’s services in a digestible way.

Pro tip: Put your company’s phone number in the bio to unclog the user journey. Visitors can contact you without having to click through several pages.

4. Good Earth Tours

As a household brand, there are so many routes they could have taken for their Instagram bio. They chose to keep it lighthearted and funny, a great reflection of their brand voice.

Inspire the imagination and emotions of prospective customers by painting a picture of their future adventures. Reading the Good Earth Tours bio, I instantly fantasize about wild deserts, ginkgo trees, and giraffes.

Pro tip: Keep the message concise and on point like Good Earth Tours.

5. Santa’s Lapland

Santa's Lapland page is another great example of clear messaging inspiring emotional responses. Who doesn’t want to meet Santa on Christmas? 🎅

To level up this bio, I’d embed several thematic emojis to add a touch of magic.

What we love: Santa’s Lapland offers a clear value proposition: You’ll meet Santa in a magical environment.

6. Bagpackrs

Add relevant hashtags to your company’s Instagram bio so users can access your page easily via search. For instance, Bagpackrs makes use of a popular #weekendtrip hashtag.

Pro tip: Do you provide extra services? Highlight them in the profile description to fill your sales pipeline with new leads.

7. Milk + Honey Travels

Harvest the power of your personal brand to establish credibility for your company. Consider Milk + Honey Travels, which capitalizes on its owner's recognizable personal brand.

If you’re the face of your brand, put your photo instead of a brand logo in the profile picture to foster an emotional bond.

Pro tip: When advancing your services through a personal brand, tell your story. Share your interests, hobbies, obsessions, etc.

Humor can make you stand out and set a tone for the customer experience. What we like is how Contiki uses neat, witty, and playful language to articulate its values to the young target audience.

Pro tip: Humor won’t work for every brand. If your tone is serious or buttoned-up, consider a different voice. If your looking to seem personable and more fun, humor can be a great tool.

9. Adventures

Sometimes less is more. If you can explain your mission and values in one short sentence, go for it. For instance, Adventurescom explicitly calls out that it specializes in travels in Northern regions, like Canada, Greenland, and the Baltics.

Pro tip: For travel companies, hashtag the destinations you offer in the bio to be visible in the search.

10. Visit Madeira

Working on your city’s Instagram presence? Be sure to mention that this is the official page. Add relevant emojis that describe local culture or sightseeing.

What we love: Madeira’s page directs visitors to attractions in the city by including a CTA and a link to their website.

11. visitPA

Many cities, counties, and countries use Instagram to bolster tourism. This page should share attractions and travel opportunities in the area.

Pro tip: Make up branded hashtags for your official account and prompt people to use them. This helps you reach a wider audience and attract more tourists. Pennsylvania’s official page did just that.

HubSpot utilizes a mission-focused bio with the slogan #GrowBetter to articulate the company’s values. This reinforces both the company’s values and what users get out of the CRM.

Pro Tip: Use a LinkTree to get users to discover your offers.

Publer’s approach is to highlight key features of the tool right in the bio. Visitors get an instant understanding of the platform.

Pro tip: This approach is best for product-led companies with unique tools customers care about. That said, only Publer manages all popular social networks of different countries under one roof, beating the competition.

14. Hootsuite

Bold and provocative Instagram marketing messaging is a distinctive trait of Hootsuite, a social media management platform. This tactic is a great hook for the audience, triggering an emotional response.

Pro tip: Once you hook your audience, direct them to explore your tool. For instance, Hootsuite uses an arrow emoji to draw attention to its Linktree.

15. GetResponse

List the jobs to be done in your company’s bio and describe what the tool is about. This way, you set the right customer expectations. GetResponse is also a proponent of using Linktree to navigate users down the customer journey.

16. Semrush

Semrush’s bio is distinguished by the number of users. Ten million marketers are users — an impressive number to boast about. This instantly adds to brand trustworthiness.

Pro Tip: Add big numbers in the Instagram bio to impress prospective customers and remind current ones they’re a part of a large community.

17. Statusbrew

Statusbrew converts visitors into new signups right from the bio by offering a free, 14-day trial.

Pro tip: Savvy businesses include offers in their bios. If you offer a free trial, free samples, or free signups, promote that information upfront.

Grammarly’s bio focuses on the company’s mission and highlights social causes they stand for. If you want to show your solidarity on a matter, your Instagram bio is the right place.

20. Mixpanel

What we love: This approach works best for highlighting your key offerings, while keeping the design simple.

23. Little Bichons

Little Bichons’s bio is personal, welcoming, and friendly. Knowing a person behind a brand creates an instant emotional connection, which might be reflected in sales and follower numbers.

Pro tip : Put a CTA before a Linktree to draw the audience’s attention.

24. Karen Pleass

Karen lists her product categories in her company’s page name and provides more details in the description. She then expertly uses emojis to separate ideas.

Pro tip: Design your brand colors for the logo, emojis, and Etsy listings to activate the visual memory of your brand in customers’ minds.

27. Ell’s Artsy Workshop

Alt: Creative Instagram bio ideas for Etsy shops, ells artsy workshop

IMG name: instagram-bio-Ells-artsy-workshop

28. Peonies & Posies Co

Similarly, the Peonies & Posies shop has a succinct bio that is stripped down to the essentials. But unlike others, it’s not bulleted.

Pro tip: If you keep your bio brief, no bullets are required.

29. Our Forever Utopia

This shop bio is a wonderful example of best practices. First, it draws attention with emojis. Second, it boasts 300+ 5-star reviews, which increases trust. Furthermore, it has a CTA, a Linktree, and an owner’s profile.

Pro tip: Combine all listed best practices to make your shop recognizable.

30. Sarah Snippets

A well-organized bio in a bulleted list is a breath of fresh air that sets expectations clearly. Sarah’s bio navigates customers through the customer journey and how they can purchase her products.

Pro tip: Emoji lists help you convey key points clearly and in an engaging manner.

If you own an apparel or a clothing store, Instagram is the perfect platform to promote your product. Start off by introducing yourself in the bio and letting people know what kind of apparel your store provides.

Give a brief profile of yourself or the business, highlighting why they should trust you as an apparel brand. Use emojis and hashtags to give your bio a creative spin.

One popular approach is to include something catchy that reflects your clothing style, such as “East Coast Prep With a Twist of Attitude.”

Now, let’s look through real-life examples of Instagram bios of apparel companies.

31. Tropicfeel

Tropicfeel champions sustainability by offsetting carbon emissions when producing and shipping their products. This mission is reflected in the bio under the slogan #BeyondTravel .

For brand-new apparel brands, such an approach is a great way to niche down and become popular among like-minded consumers.

Nike uses its Instagram bio to raise awareness for social issues. This demonstrates brand values and reinforces that anyone from any background can be an athlete.

34. United Colors of Benetton

Say more by saying less, like Benetton. Use your company’s mission statement to unite and motivate your customers.

Pro tip: Your tagline or slogan should cultivate positive attitudes and resonate with your consumers.

35. The North Face

Similarly, the North Face bio is only a mission statement with a link that leads to product categories. For well-known brands, a simple hashtag can be enough for a whole bio.

36. Converse

About to launch a new product line? Share this exciting news with your customers by giving a peek at new models. Converse does this above by promoting its collaboration with Rick Owens.

Pro tip: By announcing a new collection, marketers can hype new products once they’re in stock, which leads to increased sales.

Like Converse, MAJE also uses the Instagram profile description to inform followers about new arrivals. If your apparel changes with the season, you can use Instagram to announce new collections.

38. Under Armour

You can use your bio to describe what it’s like to wear your product. Take Under Armour for example.

Apart from using a slogan, Under Armour sets the expectation of how you feel when wearing its clothes and shoes.

39. Wilde Vertigga

Wilde Vertigga, a local Israeli fashion brand, uses the bio space to share its core values. If your apparel brand offers a unique perspective on fashion, highlight it on your social media page.

In Wilde Vertigga’s case, that’s its gender-neutral and mindful clothing.

40. Tezenis

Tezenis also makes use of user-generated content (UGC) to drive word of mouth and get more exposure.

Pro tip: Encourage shoppers to use your hashtag so you can easily find UGC.

Are you using social media right if you don't include emojis?

Many brands run away from emojis because they believe it hurts their brand’s credibility. However, when used appropriately, they’re an eye-catching tool that can help you attract users.

There are two routes you can take with emojis in your bio.

You can use several emojis to highlight multiple things, or you can limit your use to one emoji that relates to your brand.

41. Brook Green Hotel

Don’t be afraid of playing with different emojis, even if their colors don’t match your brand guidelines. Brook Green Hotel, for example, demonstrates its service with relevant but off-brand color emojis.

Pro tip: Emoji-heavy bios are best for family hotels or modern places with a young target audience. Likewise, emoji-heavy bios look strange for premium-class hotels.

42. Jungalow

Jungalow, a home decor brand, uses multiple emojis to emphasize its copy. It stands out without being distracting.

Pro tip: Make your emojis match your product offerings. This reinforces what users will get from your business.

43. Let It Soap

Simplicity is key. Let It Soap’s bio opts for an easy-to-read bulleted list. Although it’s not emoji-heavy, it’s a great example of a classy bio with dot icons instead of emojis.

Pro Tip: When choosing a bulleted list with dot icons for the bio, use emojis to highlight the most important part of a message.

44. Sharlene Robertson

Sharlene Robertson Designs takes the uniform look by using the same emoji throughout its bio and using the pin emoji to designate its location.

Pro tip: If you like the look of a specific emoji, you can use it multiple times throughout your bio.

45. Leimuco

Leimuco uses a group of emojis to reinforce the store’s offering. To level up this bio, we’d suggest adding a CTA and a LinkTree.

Remember: The most effective bios use multiple best practices featured in this list.

46. Anna Tsukur

Anna Tsukur’s fitness account keeps a good balance of emojis and text.

What we love: The owner uses pointing finger emojis to draw attention to the CTA.

47. YOUCANDOIT Dance Camp

If you’re throwing a dance camp or any other event tied to a date, use emojis to designate the location and share when the event is happening.

What we love: Dance Camp effectively puts together all the best practices for event pages and includes the date, destination, and a CTA that plays on the fear of missing out on a spot.

48. Elhaz Body and Spirit

This handmade soap shop puts emojis into relevant contexts. This creates a soothing aesthetic that, together with beautifully designed products, creates a great customer experience.

This approach is best for small businesses, coffee shops, and DIY shops.

49. IHEARTRAVES

IHeartRaves also relies heavily on emojis to appeal to younger music festival goers. Besides emojis, IHeartRaves uses different CTAs to direct visitors to engage with its page.

What we like: The messaging, logo, and emojis all work together to deliver a tailored message.

Your brand can stand out and communicate your company's values with just three emojis. The ColourPop Cosmetics brand proves it.

What we love: Brief is often better on social media. ColourPop keeps its message short and sweet.

51. Modern Australiana

This Australian brand of linen bedding creates a uniform look by using the same emoji in a bulleted list, making the bio easy to scan.

Pro tip: A nice look and feel are half the battle, but don’t forget to mention your product/service in the bio.

Hashtags help Instagram users find you more easily, so if you have the space in your bio, you definitely want to add relevant hashtags.

52. Rocky Mountain

Rocky Mountain soap company uses thematic hashtags to be more discoverable by the relevant audience and show what they care about — plant-based ingredients.

53. DIARRABLU

Lifestyle brand Diarra Blu includes multiple hashtags in its bio, such as #Conscious, and #SizeInclusive, and sometimes #BlackOwned — telling users a lot in just a few words.

Remember: In addition to improving discoverability, using hashtags also helps brands tell their story in a quick and succinct way.

54. Nicole Cz

Nicole Cz makes fantastic home decor in hygge style and includes contextual hashtags in her bio. This drive prospective buyers through the hashtag search.

She also uses a branded hashtag for her shop to increase brand awareness.

Another great way to utilize your Instagram bio is by highlighting ongoing product offers.

Say you have a big sale going on or you know consumers are looking for deals. Well, you can use your bio to share those offers and lead users to your website.

55. Secret Island

Secret Island, a cosmetics retailer, turns Instagram lurkers into buyers by introducing a 15% discount on the website.

What we love: Discounts pull users in. Even if we were just checking the page, the odds are a 15% off deal will convince us to purchase.

56. Yoga United Festival

Yoga United Festival uses its bio space for informing followers about upcoming events. It also lists activities, such as workshops and coaching.

Pro tip: A calendar view works for events of all types.

57. The Faceshop US

This Korean cosmetics retailer describes the places where you can shop its products, including an online store. You can also shop for products on Amazon for ease of access.

Artois, another Korean cosmetics company, also includes a call to action in the bio, navigating consumers to their official partners.

What we love: The saying “to find my own fragrance” is amplified by the rose emoji. You already have a reason to start searching for your ideal body cream or perfume.

59. Telluride Yoga Festival

Here’s another example of an offer-focused bio for short events. Our favorite part of the bio is how it brings the key information down to just a date, a place, and an encouraging statement.

60. Simpli Coffee

Have several coffee shops under one brand? Design the locations guide for your visitors and put it in your bio. Include the menu, deals, and a brand story to forge relationships with consumers.

Pro tip: When opening a new location, promote it in the bio.

61. Luvme Hair

Hair brand Luvme Hair effectively uses the bio section to direct users to its sales, even using emojis to draw attention to their Linktree.

This works great during the holiday season when promotions and deals are top of mind.

62. Lulu and Georgia

Lulu and Georgia use hashtags on their Instagram bio to invite users to engage. This not only invites users to explore the brand’s hashtag but it’s also a great way for Lulu and Georgia to collect UGC that they can reshare on their page. A win–win!

63. Westwing Spain

Westwing’s decoration shopping club is an exemplary offer-focused bio with a CTA. It notifies viewers about discounted prices and new daily offers by emphasizing the information with emojis.

Best for: This approach works best for small and mid-sized e-commerce brands.

64. Arya Concept Spa

Want your Instagram visitors to convert into customers? Put the “Reservations” CTA and the “Contact” link or button in your bio.

Your Instagram bio doesn’t need to be long. In fact, in some cases, it’s best to keep it short and sweet. Here are examples of brands that did this well.

In the world of developers, it’s safe to say that everyone knows GitHub. With such overwhelming brand awareness within your target audience, it’s okay to use such short bios.

Yet, we don’t recommend replicating this approach for lesser-known brands, since nobody will understand who you are and what you do.

66. Shopify

Similarly, Shopify is also not that descriptive of what it offers, but do you know someone interested in e-commerce who isn’t familiar with Shopify? Probably not. You can keep vague bios for big names.

67. Desi Dimova

Desi Dimowa, a driftwood artist, contrives to deliver a cohesive brand image using just five words. The bio includes what the shop is about, how to contact the seller, and where to buy ready artwork.

68. Backroads

Backroads travel agency simply describes its offerings with no fancy hashtags or emojis. Yet, it still gathers a great deal of following and engagement. Like with GitHub, this approach may work for large brands but is likely to fall flat for small companies.

Media organization NPR tells you everything you need to know about its platform in less than 10 words. It gives the page a clean look and remains consistent across all social platforms, which helps with brand recognition.

70. Malenki Shoes

This brand, which offers stylish shoes for petite women, gets straight to the point. Malenki tells users who its target audience is, what it offers, and where it’s located.

It tells a compelling story while including information that will promote easy discoverability.

Crocs constantly experiments with its bio. Now the company has decided to amass a huge fan base by calling real fans to follow the page. Nevertheless, Crocs makes sure to include a link to the newest collection on its website.

Pro Tip: Experiment with the copy but ensure to add a link to your site so that prospects can discover your products/services.

72. Mangishi Doll

Here’s another great example of a short but effective Instagram bio. When you read this bio, you know what the brand is about and what they offer.

Remember: At the end of the day, if your bio doesn’t do either of these, that’s when you’re in trouble and should reassess. Otherwise, longer isn’t always better.

You can hardly find a more informative and succinct description of a recruitment company on Instagram. Its bio paints a complete picture of TTM’s service and its target market. The link tree, in turn, takes visitors to explore TTM’s solutions.

74. Philz Coffee

Philz Coffee keeps its bio short and sweet. Instead, they promote their app heavily. This puts value, a way to reduce the wait in line, at the forefront for page visitors.

Restaurants and coffee shops each offer unique opportunities for bios. For restaurants, a brief mention of the food or cuisine they specialize in will play a huge role. Highlighting innovative recipes can be effective as well.

For coffee shops, focusing on the various specialty drinks that are available can be engaging. Furthermore, emphasizing any interesting vendors or locally sourced products can also add an additional level of interest for potential visitors.

As such, bios should always cater to the theme and specific atmosphere of each business to make it memorable and easily distinguishable from competitors. They can be short, emoji-loaded, descriptive, and more. Let’s study some examples.

75. Shore Pour

Shore Pour coffee shop front-loads the bio with a coffee selection paired with the best sweets in stock. You can also see the opening hours and the site to learn the brand history.

76. Honey Bun

Honey Bun offers visitors a cup of coffee and a bakery experience. It designates the location and operating hours.

What we like: The use of emojis helps visitors scan the text and quickly discern the essential information.

77. Kinjo Sushi

Launching special deals to boost takeaway orders? Advance the offer by notifying your followers in the bio.

What we like: This sushi bar lists the main menu categories, so you know what to expect.

78. Zwei und Zwanzig

Not everyone is a fan of this type of bio design, nevertheless, the overload of veggie emojis does the job and represents a vegan restaurant at a glance.

We like this bio for its uniqueness and clear message.

79. Choice Luxe Bistro

This restaurant page provides a concise explanation of experiences you might find at Choice Luxe Bistro. It also gives you the operating hours and states the possibility of booking a table.

The verdict: A simple bio can help inform visitors about the essentials.

80. 5senses

5senses is a manifestation of a polished restaurant bio that offers food selection, emphasizes an important meal option like gluten-free, and prompts followers to reserve a table. We like how well-structured the bio is and how emojis amplify the brand story.

R.O.R’s bio only includes the locations of the chain’s three coffee shops and a link to the site. This might work for R.O.R. but doesn’t necessarily mean you will benefit from copy-pasting the approach. Keep testing your bio to find your voice.

Smyth is a Michelin-starred restaurant that, to our surprise, says nothing about the prestige award. In its bio, Smyth prefers to invite you on a journey of rich food experiences.

Pro tip : Place the menu under the link tree.

In contrast, Oriole brags about two Michelin stars and its chef.

We like both approaches since they communicate different values and marketing positionings. Smyth focuses on the quality and the uniqueness of its meals, while Oriole takes advantage of the chef’s personal brand. Both strategies find their clients.

84. Haven House

The Haven House, a coffee bar, has a brief yet effective bio listing its beverages and menu items.

However, this bio would benefit from mentioning its location. Either include a whole address or fill in the space with something else useful.

85. Cool Beanz

Cool Beanz leads with its business hours and a link to a map and menu inside. However, this brand would benefit from mentioning why this shop is unique.

86. Urban Backyard

Lastly, Urban Backyard falls for a minimalistic bio describing only two hot beverage categories and announcing a new location. Simple, elegant, and yet informative.

While putting together 90 Instagram accounts with different bio ideas, we encountered some examples that we prefer to set apart. This section includes funny and mission-focused bios with a tagline.

87. Funny: Skittles

Social media is a place to engage and have fun with your audience. So, if you’re struggling to come up with a bio, stop overthinking and consider going the funny route.

Take Skittles .

88. Funny: Cards Against Humanity

Cards Against Humanity is another great example.

Their Instagram bio is hilarious and straightforward. It tells users what their product is and pokes fun at their target audience.

89. Mission-Focused: Sabai Design

Want a sure-fire strategy for your Instagram bio? Share your brand’s mission and/or values.

Sabai Design , a sustainable furniture brand, did just that.

When a user lands on this brand’s profile, they’ll know exactly what the company sells and what it stands for. In today’s world, consumers want brands that champion social responsibility and are transparent about their practices.

Another thing Sabai Design does is include branded hashtags in their bio and invite users to use them when sharing their content.

90. Tagline or Slogan: Fe Noel

Adding your tagline or slogan can be incredibly effective in attracting your target audience.

Take Fe Noel .

Their tagline reads, “Women’s collection designed...for the leading woman.”

Any user who identifies with that will be interested in learning more about the brand. And that’s exactly the effect you want an Instagram bio to have.

91. Tagline or Slogan: Black Like I Never Left

Another example of this comes from the home goods brand, Black Like I Never Left .

In their bio, they explain what their brand is about and include relevant hashtags.

What the Best Instagram Bio Ideas Have in Common

In this article, we’ve covered a wide range of Instagram bio ideas. So how do you choose one for your brand?

Well, as long as it meets these criteria, you’re set:

• It tells a story.
• It reflects your brand voice.
• It complements other elements on your page.

There isn’t a single right way to write your Instagram bio. You can try a combination of these tactics and or stick to one method and find great success with both.

In addition, don’t be afraid to switch up your strategy during different times of the year, based on your marketing goals.

Instagram Bio Ideas: How to Craft the Perfect Bio for Instagram

Looking for Instagram bio ideas? We've got them for you. In this article, we'll share tips for how to write a killer Instagram bio as well as share examples of IG bios to spark your creativity.

Your Instagram bio is the first thing someone sees when they land on your profile. Crafting witty, funny, or informative Instagram bios can help people understand who you are before scrolling through your Instagram profile to see your content.

As a brand or content creator, you can give people a quick snapshot of what you stand for, the brands you own, what makes you unique, your business hours, or what your business is in one sentence.

A compelling Instagram bio can hook someone in to follow you even before looking at a single post, so creating one for your Instagram account is a must.

In this article, we'll walk you through a start-to-finish guide on how to craft the perfect Instagram bio, including:

• How to Write an Instagram Bio that Stands Out
• How to Cultivate a Specific Aesthetic with Your Instagram Bio
• How to Make the Most of Your Link-In-Bio
• Instagram Bio Ideas You Can Use for Inspiration

Let’s get started.

How to Write a Compelling Instagram Bio

Writing an Instagram bio can seem intimidating. You're making a first impression on people coming to your page, so you want to get it right. Fortunately, there are several strategies and tools you can use to speed up the process. We've covered a few here.

What Makes a Strong Instagram Bio?

A strong Instagram bio is typically six lines long and includes these key elements:

• Name. The first line is where you can include your brand name, full name (for content creators), or main keywords (if you want to be searchable).
• What you do. The second line is where you share a simple statement about what you do. Avoid jargon or vague statements about what your product is to help people quickly understand what your Instagram account is about.
• Other projects. The third line might include your associations, such as a company you own (if you're a creator) or other brand accounts your business owns.
• Value prop. The fourth line should include a key benefit or main value proposition of your business or personal brand – why would people want to buy from you or work with you? Answer that question in a single statement that makes clear why your brand is different from your competitors.
• Call-to-Action. The next line should be your main CTA. What’s the action that you want people who visit your Instagram profile to take? You can use an emoji to point to the link below to help draw the eye.
• Link. The last line in the bio will be the link you want people to visit. This might be a link to your website, a link landing page with multiple high-value links, or a specific URL you want people to visit at the moment (your latest YouTube video or a seasonal promotion you’re running, for example).

How to Write a Searchable Instagram Bio

Including keywords in your Instagram bio is part of Instagram SEO or search engine optimization. What does that mean? By using relevant keywords in your Instagram bio, it'll be easier for your account to pop up in Instagram’s search results.

For example, if you own a digital marketing agency, you'll want to include the words "digital marketing agency," or "marketing agency" in your bio. You might even replace your brand name with the keywords you select, while keeping your brand name for your handle only.

Many digital marketing agencies use the hack where they replace their name with the keyword they want to rank for, so when people search those terms on Instagram, they show up closer to the top. People will still be able to find your business by your brand name, especially if your handle remains unchanged. It's a double source of traffic to your profile.

If you’re a brick and mortar business, location keywords are also important to include in your bio. For example, this bridal apparel store, Miosa Bride , has two locations. Their second location includes the city (Folsom) in the name part of their bio. This both helps distinguish this location from their primary store in Sacramento and catches search traffic from brides searching for wedding dress stores in the Folsom area specifically.

Use Instagram Bio Templates

There are multiple formats you can follow on how to structure your Instagram bio. The bigger the brand is (and the more brand recognition it has) the shorter your Instagram bio can be. For example, organizations like Airbnb don't need to over-explain who they are and what they stand for. Most people have heard of them.

If you're a content creator, you might include tags to brands you're associated with, your other social media accounts, or promote an upcoming event or launch. Many Instagram influencers share their TikTok account size in their bio to showcase that they're on other platforms and they've got big audiences there, too.

Best Tools for Writing an Instagram Bio

There are various tools you can use for writing an Instagram bio. If you need help crafting copy for an Instagram bio, you can use AI writing tools like Wordtune or Chat GPT4 to help give you a draft as a starting point.

You might ask an AI tool to "Write me four short lines for my Instagram bio for my course creation business geared towards entrepreneurs that describes my business in one line, has a key benefit in lines two and three, and has a call-to-action to sign-up for my webinar in line four." The more information you feed an AI tool, the better your results will be at crafting an Instagram bio that makes sense for your business.

How to Cultivate a Consistent Aesthetic in Your Instagram Bio

Your Instagram account is an extension of your visual branding, whether that’s personal branding or company branding. If you already have or want to craft a specific, immediately recognizable visual brand, your Instagram bio and profile need to contribute to that branded feel.

Here are a couple of areas you can focus on to create a seamless visual aesthetic on Instagram.

Use Emojis for an Aesthetic Instagram Bio

Emojis are a great way to showcase personality, add a pop of color, and add emphasis in your bio. You can use emojis to replace words or as a bullet point to create line breaks in your Instagram bio. Emojis are often used by content creators or playful brands.

Which emojis you use, or if you even use emojis, is largely dependent on the kind of brand or account you run. For example, if you run a fashion or beauty brand, a few cheeky emojis can inject a lot of personality to your bio. However, if you're running the account for a cancer research institute, they might come across as flippant or insincere because of the sensitive subject material.

Ultimately, emojis need to make sense with your brand personality and voice.

Add Aesthetic, Custom Covers to IG Story Highlights

While Story Highlights aren't exactly in the bio, they're one of the first things people see when looking at your bio. You can use templates to create unique Story Highlight covers that stand out. For example, YouTube's Instagram bio includes custom graphics for their Story Highlights that use a vibrant color palette with a simple graphic to make the Story Highlights pop when browsing their Instagram profile.

Alternatively, you can use a cohesive color palette or attention-grabbing photos, add a simple pattern design, or use icons to make your Story Highlights stand out. Alani Nutrition , an energy drink brand, uses bright, solid colors as their highlight covers. This keeps the super-saturated, vaporwave visual branding they have on all of their packaging and in their posts but doesn’t distract from the actual content below.

How to Make the Most of Your Instagram Link-in-Bio

Many brands see Instagram as mainly an awareness channel. And now that Meta has canceled the Reels Play bonus program, it’s true that there’s no direct way to make money on Instagram if you’re not an e-commerce brand. However, Instagram can still be a useful tool for growth.

One of the best ways to make Instagram work for you is knowing when and how to drive traffic away from Instagram to where it will have the most business impact. There are two main places you can add links: with the link sticker in Instagram Stories and your Instagram bio. Let’s talk about how to make the most of that link in bio .

Use a Call-to-Action in Your Instagram Bio

As a brand, your Instagram bio needs a clear CTA that directs people back to your product and website. And even if you're a content creator, there are probably still actions you want people to take when they visit your Instagram bio – whether that’s going to another channel where you make longer form content, checking out a collab you participated in, or using an affiliate link to buy a product you recommend.

In the last line of your bio, make sure to explicitly state what action you want people to take. You can also add some visual cues. An emoji, such as a finger pointing down or the downward arrow, will help draw the eye to the link below your bio.

Don’t be shy! Be direct in asking for what you want and telling people what they will get if they click that link.

Use a Link Landing Page as Your Link in Bio

Instagram bios only have one spot for a link, which can seem a little limiting, but it doesn’t have to be!

You can use tools like Linktree to create a link landing page. If you have multiple links you want to direct your Instagram followers to, a link landing page creates a single link for people to click on to find multiple resources.

For instance, if you’re a content creator, you may want to link to your merch store, an active brand collaboration, and your latest YouTube video. You can add all of those under your link landing page. Alternatively, if you own a small business, you might link out to multiple blog posts, your product page, other social media accounts, contest details, or even an FAQ page.

These link landing pages often have free plans with a limited number of links, branding options, etc., so you can trial the product. For more customization, like adding your own brand colors and fonts, you can always upgrade to keep that aesthetic, branded experience.

Instagram Bio Ideas for Brands and Creators

Now that you know the best practices for creating an Instagram bio, let's look at some inspiration from accounts that are killing it.

Instagram Bio Ideas for Course Creators

Stephobi's Instagram bio is all about how to work with her. In her first bio line she shares what she does with specific numbers to entice the collaboration. By explicitly saying, "Build a $10k - $30k/month coaching business" she’s announcing exactly what value people will get by taking her course.

Above her link-in-bio, she makes the direct ask, "Work with me" and then leads your eye down with an emoji. Her link-in-bio shares links for working together, her ebook, and an event registration.

Good Instagram Bio for Small Businesses

CLI Studios' Instagram bio follows a standard format that brands can emulate to share as much context to potential new followers as possible. They include a short line that describes exactly what they are: "The only dance app with every major style."

Then, they hook you in with a value proposition by highlighting what makes them great: their app has "1000+ online dance classes." Then, they mention you should tag them to be featured. This is a great way to get people to share their user-generated content with you and drive organic engagement.

Finally, they answer the question "what's in it for me" by offering you a free 7-day trial. They also use their Instagram bio to call out their other relevant accounts. In their bio link, they use LinkTree to include several links about their programs, audition details, blog, TikTok account , and more. What makes this a good Instagram bio is that you understand immediately what the brand is about and are even encouraged to engage with them on Instagram by tagging them.

Clever Instagram Bios

The iconic inventor of Spanx, Sara Blakely , is a great example of what it takes to make a clever Instagram bio. Her bio highlights her relatable personality (who doesn’t love fries?), her personal mission statement (“it’s my calling to support women”), and her sense of humor.

Take her Instagram profile photo , in which she’s wearing a bra over her shirt, for example. Spanx sells undergarments, so it’s on brand while also showing that Sara Blakely is a funny gal who doesn’t take herself too seriously.

She tags her Spanx account in her bio, so you can check out her business. Tagging your business on your personal Instagram bio is something most entrepreneurs and creators do to help boost their business' visibility on Instagram.

Best Instagram Bios for Content Creators

Mr. Beast has one of the best Instagram bios. As a business owner or content creator, you need to have a call-to-action in your Instagram bio that drives people back to your product or that asks people to collaborate with you on a project.

Mr. Beast doesn't mess around with his bio. In one sentence, he shares his vision of what he stands for "I want to make the world a better place before I die." But in the second line he makes the ask of how you can support him, by going to Walmart to buy the chocolate he sells. His Instagram bio link goes directly to his chocolate website, so you can learn more about the chocolate (or buy).

Simple Instagram Bio Ideas

Whole Foods Market Instagram bio highlights the main benefit you'll get from following them, "discover new flavors, new favorites, & new ideas." They also include a branded hashtag that you can use to tag your food pictures with. Promoting your branded hashtag in your bio is a great way to encourage people to post content about your business. #WholeFoodsMarket has over 300,000 posts.

Cute Instagram Bios

The easiest way to create cute Instagram bios as a brand or creator is to use emojis. It'll help set a visual tone for who you are and what you stand for. Blume uses emojis at the start of each bio line to visually break up the bio into a bulleted list as well as add some color, personality, and tone.

Their bio highlights what they are, their unique value propositions (plant-based, organic, plastic neutral plus, all-female team, and Canadian). They also include a link in bio where you can shop their collection, subscribe to their email newsletter, find recipes or store locations, and more.

Creative Instagram Bios

Having a creative Instagram bio isn’t just about using different fonts and emojis. You can also create a creative Instagram bio by highlighting your business's product. In Teva's Instagram bio, they ask people to send them their old sandals so that they can be recycled. Their products are made with recycled materials to help reduce waste.

Asking people to send old sandals isn't something you'll find on most Instagram accounts. But the ask is related to their mission and values, which helps you better understand that the company values sustainability without explicitly saying that. Non-profit organizations can also run a fundraiser on Instagram and promote them to their followers.

Funny Instagram Bio Ideas

If you're looking for funny Instagram bios, look no further than Snickers . Their Instagram bio includes a single sentence that reads, "If you think this is Twitter, maybe you just need a SNICKERS." It's a clever way to promote their chocolate bar while poking fun at a different social media app. They include a bit.ly link in their bio that leads directly to a sweepstakes contest. It's likely that they regularly update their bio link with their latest promotional events.

Funny Instagram Bios for Smaller Accounts

The Instagram account for the tumblr poet also uses humor in their Instagram bio. Their whole bio is dedicated to the emo online poet archetype, including the profile picture, which is just the pensieve face emoji edited to be wearing a black beanie.

The bit continues with a funny quote that reads, "i followed my heart, but it did not follow back,” likely a reference to the old trend of “follow for follow back” on Instagram and tumblr. But it also pokes fun at the expression "follow your heart."

It’s not just jokes, though. They also use the space to promote their poetry book, Flowers Are Just Tiny Trees, with a clear call-to-action and a finger emoji pointing towards their link in bio where you can purchase the book.

Cool Instagram Bios

Beardbrand's Instagram bio highlights what their brand is, has a cool call-to-action to text them for a free personalized style consultation, and encourages brand engagement by asking you to tag them in your photos. Most brands don't offer consultations when it comes to their product offering which helps make their profile stand out.

The word "beard" shows up in their bio multiple times, which makes it easy to quickly understand what this Instagram profile is all about while also implementing good social media SEO tactics. Their Instagram bio links to various blog posts, social media accounts, a product quiz, and their homepage among others.

Other Instagram Bio Examples

Kylie Cosmetics uses their Instagram bio as a promotional tool for their product launches. In their bio, you'll find the date to an upcoming volume mascara and liquid eyeshadow launch coming April 6.

Promoting your product launches on Instagram helps build hype for upcoming launches so people can mark their calendars and get ready to purchase your latest product (especially when your brand has millions of loyal customers). Their bio link leads directly to their online store where you can purchase beauty products.

The best Instagram bio ideas come from browsing various Instagram accounts in your niche and looking at how people position themselves. We've shared Instagram bio examples for you to get a general idea of how people format their bios, promote themselves or their brands, and convince you to buy from them or work with them.

Use them for inspiration, but don't copy them. The best Instagram bios are authentic to who you are and what you stand for so you can continue to attract the right people to your account.

Summary/Overview

Your Instagram bio is a space that lives on your Instagram profile that can be used to explain who you are, what you like, what you do, and why people should follow you. Essentially a description for Instagram, your Instagram bio is one of the first things people will see when they visit your profile so it’s important to get it right and feature something that feels authentically you.

Why is an Instagram bio important

An Instagram bio, if crafted wisely, can be a big factor in upping your follower counts. If you’re a business or social media influencer , having a bio (and a complete profile in general) will make you look more legitimate and trustworthy. Instagram bios can also be used to illustrate what one might expect from your profile (e.g., coffee tips, cats, and pictures of New York) or show off your sense of humor, which will no doubt show up in your content too.

If you’re looking to monetize your social media following, your Instagram bio can also be used to contribute to this goal by including CTAs or links to other websites. In fact, your Instagram bio can be used to exclusively promote something specific such as a new video or a product launch.

What makes a good bio for Instagram

A good Instagram bio should at least be easy to read, not too long, and informative, especially if you’re a brand. Including CTAs, buttons, contact information, your website, your location, and a hashtag for your audience to use are all great Instagram bio ideas.

If you’re a personal profile or a creator, you might choose to use humor in your Instagram bio, or just keep things simple by explaining who you are, where you work, and what you like. Many profiles that include a few points of information make use of emojis or bullet points to keep things clear and easy to skim, but more on that later.

What to put in an Instagram bio

Cool Instagram bios include humor and personality

Using humor in your Instagram bio can make you seem more down-to-earth, relatable, and enjoyable to follow, and it’s not just for personal profiles; businesses can benefit from using a little humor in their bio, as long as it’s in line with their branding and tone of voice.

Adding a joke or showing some personality in your bio can be a great way for your audience to get to know who you are at the core. Whether it’s coffee, dogs, or collecting coins, don’t be afraid to express it in your Instagram bio and give people a taste of what they can expect from your page.

Using Instagram bio quotes and slogans

If you’re looking for creative Instagram bio ideas, making use of quotes in your Instagram bio is a popular route to take. Use this opportunity to pick a quote that speaks to you whether they’re lyrics from a song, a quote from your favorite movie, or a motivational quote that inspires you. Alternatively, and especially if you are a business, using your slogan in your Instagram bio is a great way to summarize who you are and what your brand is about, which is exactly what an Instagram bio should be all about. Using quotes and slogans can be a succinct way to show somebody new to your page who you are, and what you care about.

Using Instagram bio emojis and bullet points

Emojis and bullet points are common and a recommended addition for any Instagram bio that needs to include more than a few sentences. Emojis and bullets can make your Instagram bio easier to skim, read, and digest. Bullet points are a great way to help people understand key information about you quicker, while emojis can add a visual component to some otherwise plain copy. Many people use emojis to take up fewer characters, like using the pin-drop emoji to signify location, or a briefcase to signify their profession.

Instagram bio link

Your Instagram bio is a great place to link to other sources such as your website, or any other place you wish to send traffic. You may also wish to link to other Instagram profiles that you are affiliated with by including the @ handles of brands you wish to spotlight.

What does Instagram link in bio mean?

“Link in bio” refers to the section of your Instagram profile where you can add your website as a clickable link from your profile. Got more than one resource you want to link to? Many creators and brands use websites such as Linktree to create a landing page that can feature multiple URLs of your choosing.

Calls to Action in Instagram bio

Your Instagram bio has a place of prominence on your Instagram profile and is therefore a great place to add CTAs in order to direct traffic or request an action from your audience. The good news about Instagram bios is that you can change them as often as you like so feel free to add something seasonal, switch up your promotional messaging in line with whatever is going on with your businesses, draw attention to something happening on a certain date, or share the current news from your life or work. If you’re wondering what to put in your Instagram bio, CTAs are a great way to get more value from your bio by encouraging your audience to complete whatever action you desire.

Creative Instagram bio ideas and examples

Instagram bio business

If you’re a business, choosing a bio for Instagram can require more careful consideration. You need to craft a bio that makes it clear who you are and what you are selling. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t show a little personality. Many brands such as Innocent have more playful bios that show who they are while staying true to their humanity and authentic branding.

Creative Instagram bio business ideas

• Use your Slogan: As mentioned above, slogans can easily make for the perfect cool Instagram bio. After all, they usually neatly summarize who you are and what you are trying to achieve.

“Automation that moves you forward” — Zapier Instagram

• Stay informative: Businesses should be including information in their bios such as location, contact info, and their website. Without such information, your profile will look significantly less trustworthy, and you may lose out on followers, or worse: customers! An informative Instagram bio can also be used to provide basic info such as opening times, a hashtag for your audience to use, or the responses to FAQ.

“Tag your Photoshop edits with: #MadeWithPhotoshop” — Photoshop Instagram

• Roll with the times: Instagram bios can be changed as often as you like, making it a great space to be reactive to news and current events. It can also be used as a promotional space to draw attention to wherever your business needs it most. This can mean shouting out a new product in your bio, sending people to a recent blog, or referring to exciting company news.

“love u @noahschnapp” - Netflix Instagram (in response to Noah Schnapp’s coming out announcement)

Creative Instagram bio ideas for creators and influencers

• Define yourself: For influencers and creators, your Instagram bio is a good place to cover your endeavors and how you define yourself. Listing the ways in which you can be defined will make it clear to your audience who you are, while acting like a resume for any businesses looking to partner with you.

“Fashion & beauty girly, dog mum and podcaster @tsdqpodcast 🎤” - Suzie Bonaldi Instagram

• How are you known: If you’ve become a social media influencer as a result of something notable you participated in in the past, your Instagram bio could be a good place to reference where or how you originally made a name for yourself... or even make a joke about it.

“Dad, Husband, President, Citizen” - Barack Obama Instagram

• What to expect: As a creator or influencer, a big goal of yours will always be to attract new followers and grow your page. As a result, using your Instagram bio to summarize what to expect from you in terms of content can be a great way to show your followers what you have to offer.

"Your bubbly acne-prone bestie, here to share tips & remind you to have fun” - Liz Claire Instagram

Creative Instagram bio ideas for girls and women

• Who are you: Singer, author, mother, entrepreneur, artist, animal rights advocate, you name it. If you care about it, and it’s a term you would use to describe yourself then it belongs in your Instagram bio. As a bonus, add your social channels to help your followers find you on other platforms too.

"Actor/Rapper/Singer/Producer facebook.com/queenlatifah twitter.com/iamqueenlatifah youtube.com/flavorunit” - Queen Latifah Instagram

• What takes up your time: Nothing shows who you are and what you care about better than what you do with your time. Think about where the majority of your time goes and list these activities in your Instagram bio for something that feels authentic to you.

“I make videos and clothes and put them on the internet” - Allegra Shaw Instagram

• Reveal your ambitions: If you have set ambitions and goals that are a large part of your day-to-day focus then why not add them to your Instagram bio and reveal to your audience where you’re heading in life.

"📍Girona / NL 🇳🇱 🇨🇦Winter Olympian chasing Summer Olympics ✖️Porsche.Bikes.Art.Coffee.Cooking.Dogs & Gin 🎨 Art @theshopbyalex 🏋🏽Get fit @bodybyalex” - Alexandra Ianculescu Instagram

Creative Instagram bio ideas for boys and men

• Your achievements: If there’s something in particular that you want to be known or remembered for, then your Instagram bio is the ideal place to add this. Are you an accomplished athlete? Or just want to brag about your victory in a hot dog eating contest? Whatever it is, no achievement is too small.

"New York Times bestselling author 📚 Top 100 entrepreneur under 30 by Obama 💯 Top 10 marketer by Forbes 🔑 Co-founder of @npdigital_us 📈” - Neil Patel Instagram

• Shout out important people in your life: Whether you want to mention your wife, husband, cat, or colleagues, if there’s somebody special in your life, honor them with a mention in your Instagram bio.

“Riley’s Dad 💚” - Daryl Sabara Instagram

• Song lyrics or quotes : Everyone can think of a line or two that speaks to them whether it’s a famous quote, or lyrics from a song. Adding an Instagram bio quote doesn’t give a lot of info about who you are but can offer insight into how your mind works and your attitude to life.

“Have more than you show, Speak less than you know. - William Shakespeare” - Abhishek Bachchan Instagram

Creative Instagram bio ideas to show personality

• A personalized phrase: It can be hard to come up with original comedy, especially when you’re under pressure. Take an existing joke or even a well-known phrase and make some changes to personalize it to yourself.

"My friends call me Jen” - Jennifer Anniston Instagram

• Self-awareness: Nothing hits the funny bone like a little self-awareness. Use your Instagram bio to describe yourself in a way that others might.

“Actor with a weirdly low voice and a confusing laugh. Occasionally cooks. Tzatziki goes with everything. Fact.” Florence Pugh Instagram

• Unexpectedly candid: Being candid in your Instagram bio can be refreshing as well as funny, just don't over-share too much.

“Discover makers, independent designers, and creative entrepreneurs around the world. All in one place on #Etsy ✨”

Etsy is a business that uses their Instagram bio to explain exactly who they are and what they do.

“🤝 activewear you’ll feel good in & good about ♻️ sustainably & ethically made 🥵 ultra-flattering fits guaranteed 👇shop FormTech now live”

Clear, easy to read, and visual, sportwear brand Tala is a great example of an effective Instagram business bio. Not only do they highlight their key selling points as a brand, but they also use the space to promote their latest product launch — very clever.

“We make healthy drinks. Please buy them so we don’t get fired.”

As always, Innocent is an excellent example of a brand that keeps things real by using humor and showing their personality. All jokes aside, Innocent’s Instagram bio is effective in showing their playful brand but still makes it clear who they are, what they do, and encourages you to buy from them.

“Halifax, it’s a People Thing. 🙋 For customer queries, head over to Facebook or Twitter. We’re there 24/7.”

Defining and building your Instagram bio and aesthetic

Whatever you opt for, your Instagram bio is a big part of the brand you present online and is just as important as your visual brand, including the likes of your profile picture, any social media banner art, and your actual content. Whether you’d refer to your brand as modern, light-hearted, or formal, it’s important to stay on brand and keep things consistent, even across multiple social channels.

What’s the best bio for Instagram? What’s the perfect bio? For designers, these aren’t just questions—they’re opportunities.

The best Instagram bio balances professional accomplishments (your social proof) with a glimpse into your everyday life, making you relatable and approachable. It’s a space where showing off a bit is fair game, especially if you’re a creative one.

The best Insta bio is one that speaks to your target audience while staying true to your unique style. It should be a blend of professionalism and personal charm, showcasing not just what you do, but who you are. Remember, people connect with people, not just skills and accolades.

For a girl in design, or anyone aiming for a certain aesthetic, the challenge is to be true to yourself while appealing to your audience. Whether you lean towards minimalistic elegance or bold and quirky statements, your bio is your opportunity to shine.

We’ll dive into how to balance these elements for different bio styles, from cool and sleek to funny and relatable, ensuring your Instagram bio is not just a placeholder, but a powerful part of your personal brand story.

A ‘cool’ bio is succinct, memorable, and speaks directly to your potential followers. It’s about being more than just another name in the sea of public figures and influencers.

Use your Insta bio link wisely, add an email address for direct contact options, and don’t shy away from using branded hashtags. Remember, it’s not just what you say; it’s how you say it. Tap ‘Edit Profile’ and start crafting. Here’s how to hit that sweet spot:

• Be concise, be memorable : Your words should be like a well-designed logo—simple, but making a statement. Think of a phrase or a line that encapsulates your design philosophy or approach.
• Showcase your specialty : Whether it’s graphic design, UX/UI, or any other niche, make it clear. Let your audience know your area of expertise right off the bat.
• Use keywords smartly : Keywords aren’t just for SEO. In the world of Instagram, they can help you connect with the right crowd. Include terms that are relevant to your work and audience.
• Add a dash of personality : While staying professional, don’t be afraid to show a bit of your personality. This could be a quirky fact about yourself or a hobby that influences your design work.
• Call to Action : Encourage engagement. Whether it’s directing followers to your portfolio or inviting them to DM for collaborations, make it easy for them to take the next step.

Remember, your Insta bio is often the first point of contact with potential clients and collaborators. Make it count by blending your professional identity with a touch of personal flair that leaves them wanting to scroll through your feed and beyond.

For an Insta bio that’s cute yet professional, think of your Instagram as an extension of your real life – a place where your brand shines. Here’s how to craft a bio that’s both cute and professional:

• Choose visually appealing elements : Use emojis and playful language but keep it aligned with your work as a creative Instagram designer. instance, a graphic designer might use a palette emoji, while a web designer could opt for a laptop icon. 
• Play with typography : While Instagram limits font options in bios, creatively using spacing and capitalization can add a unique touch. Remember, readability is key.
• Use colorful language : Inject lively, vivid language that reflects your personality and design aesthetic. Words like ‘whimsical’, ‘vibrant’, or ‘imaginative’ can be effective.
• Tell a story : Share a brief, engaging snippet about what drives your design work. This could be a personal mission statement or a fun fact that gives insight into your creative process.
• Link to your work : Including a bio link to your latest project or email list can turn casual browsers into engaged followers.

Creating a cute and aesthetic bio is about balancing professionalism with playfulness. It should be an extension of your design ethos, inviting viewers into your world of creativity.

Injecting humor into your bio can set you apart. Keep it light, and make sure it aligns with your Instagram Business persona. A clever joke or a witty pun can make your profile memorable. But remember, with the bio character limit, every word must count. Here’s how to do it right:

• Keep It light and on-brand : Your humor should reflect your design style. If your work is playful and unconventional, your bio can be more daring. For more corporate styles, opt for subtle wit.
• Avoid overdoing it : While being funny is great, don’t let the humor overshadow your professional credibility. A clever one-liner or a witty remark can be more effective than trying too hard.
• Relatable jokes work best : Jokes or puns about design, creativity, or the struggles and joys of being a designer can resonate well with your audience.
• Be culturally sensitive : Always keep in mind the diverse nature of your audience. Avoid jokes that might be misunderstood or offensive.
• Update regularly : Occasionally refreshing your bio with new jokes or witty comments can keep your profile fresh and engaging.

A funny Instagram bio can break the ice and start conversations. It shows you’re not just a designer, but someone with a personality, making your profile and work more relatable and human.

An aesthetic bio is about creating a visual and emotional connection. It’s where your design style meets your Instagram business profile. This type of bio appeals visually and emotionally, resonating with your audience’s sense of beauty and style. Here’s how to craft one: 

• Visual harmony : Consider how every element of your Insta bio contributes to an overall aesthetic. This includes the use of emojis, spacing, and even the rhythm of the words.
• Reflect your design style : Your bio should be a mirror of your design aesthetic. If your work is minimalist, opt for a clean, uncluttered bio. If it’s bold and colorful, let your bio reflect that vibrancy.
• Incorporate inspirational quotes : Sometimes, a quote can succinctly capture your design ethos. Choose one that aligns with your values and aesthetic.
• Balance creativity and clarity : While being creative, ensure your bio remains clear and easy to understand. It should intrigue but not confuse your audience.
• Show, don’t just tell : Include a link to your portfolio or a specific project that exemplifies your aesthetic. This helps your audience connect your bio with your work.

An aesthetic Instagram bio acts as a teaser to your design work. It should not only look good but also evoke a feeling that draws people into your design world.

Your Instagram bio is prime real estate. Use it to include a bio link directing traffic to important pages, like your email list or latest project. A clear CTA can transform your profile from a static page to an active hub of engagement. Regularly update your ‘Edit Profile’ section to keep things fresh and relevant. Here’s how to effectively incorporate these elements:

Strategic URL placement : Your bio is the only place on Instagram where you can place a clickable link. Use this to direct traffic to your portfolio, blog, or current project. Choose a link that aligns with your professional goals.

Clear and compelling CTAs : Encourage your visitors to take action. This could be to view your portfolio, sign up for a newsletter, or check out your latest work. Make your CTA clear, concise, and hard to resist.

Utilize link-in-bio tools : If you have multiple links to share, consider using tools like Linktree or similar services. They allow you to house multiple links under one URL, making your bio more efficient.

Regular updates : Keep the URL and CTA updated. Link to your latest work or important updates to keep your profile fresh and relevant.

Alignment with bio content : Ensure your CTA and URL are in sync with the rest of your Insa bio. They should feel like a natural extension of your bio’s narrative and style.

Incorporating a well-thought-out URL and CTA can significantly increase the effectiveness of your Instagram presence, turning your bio into a gateway that connects your audience directly to your work and brand.

Here are some customizable templates to get you started. Whether you’re a minimalist or a bold innovator, these templates serve as a great starting point. Remember to include your email address, a bio link, or even action buttons to make it easy for potential followers to connect with you. Feel free to copy, paste, and tweak them to your liking:

This is where many stumble, finding themselves at a crossroads of creativity and clarity.

The Instagram bio is your digital introduction - it's the first thing people notice and the last thing they remember when visiting your profile. But how do you encapsulate your personality, brand ethos, or value proposition succinctly and effectively? How do you stand out in a sea of millions of users vying for attention?

The need for a tool or a guide to navigate this challenge is evident, and that's where the concept of an Instagram Bio Generator becomes a game-changer. Imagine having a resource that not only inspires creativity but also guides you in distilling your unique story into a bio that resonates and engages.

Whether you're looking to revamp your current bio or starting from scratch, understanding the art of bio creation is the first step towards making your Instagram profile a true reflection of who you are or what your brand stands for.

What Is an Instagram Bio?

An Instagram bio is much more than a few words under your username – it's your brand's digital handshake, your personal slogan , a snapshot of your personality or business ethos. Limited to 150 characters, this small space carries immense power, serving as a critical tool for first impressions in the vast and vibrant world of Instagram.

Think of your Instagram bio as a concise canvas where you paint your identity. It's where you tell your story, share your passions, or highlight your brand's unique selling points. For individuals, it's an opportunity to express personality traits, hobbies, beliefs, or anything that gives a peek into who they are. For businesses, it's a strategic spot to succinctly convey their mission, what they offer, and why they stand out.

The beauty of an Instagram bio lies in its brevity and impact. It's a creative challenge to distil the essence of your entire account into a few impactful words. It's where emojis can speak volumes, where a single line can encapsulate your vibe, and where a well-placed call-to-action can turn visitors into followers or customers.

Importance of an Instagram Bio

In the digital age, where attention spans are short and competition is fierce, the importance of an Instagram bio cannot be overstated. It's more than just a requirement; it's a strategic tool that can set the tone for your entire Instagram presence. Here's why your Instagram bio is crucial:

• First Impressions Matter: Your bio is often the first thing people see when they visit your profile. It can make or break their decision to follow you. A well-crafted bio intrigues, informs, and invites, turning casual browsers into followers, and followers into fans or customers.
• Brand Identity and Storytelling: For businesses and influencers, a bio is a part of their branding. It tells a story, conveys a message, and establishes a voice. It's where you can express your brand's personality, values, and what makes you unique.
• Engagement and Connection: A compelling bio creates a connection with your audience. It encourages interaction, whether that's following, visiting your website, or engaging with your content. It's where you can include a call-to-action, like 'Shop now' or 'Read more', to guide your audience on what to do next.
• SEO and Discoverability: Yes, SEO applies to Instagram too! A good bio uses relevant keywords and hashtags to improve your visibility in search results, both within Instagram and on search engines. This helps attract a targeted audience who are interested in what you offer.
• Professionalism and Credibility: A well-written bio reflects professionalism and credibility, especially important for businesses and creators. It shows you take your presence on Instagram seriously and can be a deciding factor for potential collaborations and partnerships.

In essence, your Instagram bio is a powerful asset in your social media toolkit. It's a small space with big potential.

What Makes a Good Instagram Bio?

Crafting a good Instagram bio is an art. It requires a blend of creativity, clarity, and strategy. But what exactly makes a bio stand out? Here are some key elements:

• Clarity and Conciseness: Since you only have 150 characters, every word counts. Your bio should be clear and to the point, quickly telling visitors who you are and what you do.
• Personality and Authenticity: Your bio should reflect your unique personality or brand voice . Authenticity resonates with audiences, so let your true self shine through.
• Targeted Keywords: Incorporating relevant keywords can help your profile show up in search results, making it easier for like-minded individuals or potential customers to find you.

• Contact Information and Links: For businesses or influencers, including contact information or a link to your website or latest project is crucial. It provides a direct path for further engagement.
• Alignment with Your Content: Your bio should be consistent with the type of content you post. This alignment helps set the right expectations for new followers.

Factors to Consider When Creating an Instagram Bio

Creating an Instagram bio that resonates and engages requires more than just stringing together a few catchy phrases. It's about understanding your audience, your brand, and the unique value you bring to the table. Here are some critical factors to consider when crafting your Instagram bio:

How to improve your Instagram bio

To make your Instagram bio more impactful , consider these actionable tips that can help enhance it:

Be clear and concise:  You have 150 characters to make an impression. Use clear, concise language that gets straight to the point.

Use keywords:  Include relevant keywords that describe your business or personal brand. This helps with discoverability when people search on Instagram.

Embrace emojis : Emojis can add personality and visual interest to your bio. Use them sparingly to highlight key points or interests.

Include a call-to-action (CTA):  Encourage visitors to take action, whether it's clicking on a link, tagging their photos or visiting your shop.

Link to other platforms:  If you have a website or other social media accounts, include a link. Instagram allows one clickable link in your bio. Use a link in bio tool  to create this. 

Share your values:  Mention what's important to you. For example, if sustainability is a core value, let people know.

Highlight your hobbies:  If you're a photographer or an avid reader, mention this in your bio. It makes you more relatable and can attract like-minded followers.

Use your own voice:  Write as you speak. If you're naturally funny, let that humor shine through in your bio.

Mention your location:  If location is important for your business or personal brand, include it in your bio.

Be specific about your offerings:  Clearly state what services or products you offer so visitors know immediately if they're in the right place.

Be direct:  Tell users exactly what action you want them to take, such as "Shop now" or "Read my latest blog post."

Offer incentives:  Give users a reason to click on your link—exclusive content, discounts, or giveaways can be great incentives.

Update regularly : Keep CTAs fresh by updating them according to new content or promotions.

Types of Instagram bios to consider

Your Instagram bio can take many forms, each serving a different purpose and appealing to various audiences. Here are some types of bios you might consider to help your profile stand out:

Humorous and quirky bios

A touch of humor can make your bio memorable and show off your personality. Funny Instagram bios can make your profile feel approachable and relatable, often leading to a stronger connection with your audience. Examples include:

"I put the 'el' in 'funny.'"

"Professional overthinker with a penchant for spontaneous adventures."

"Serving you a slice of my life, with extra cheese."

Business and professional bios

For entrepreneurs and businesses, a bio should convey professionalism while also highlighting what makes you unique. Consider these crucial elements:

State your unique selling proposition (USP) :  What sets you apart from competitors?

Showcase achievements or endorsements:  Have you been featured in notable publications or received awards?

Include industry-specific terms:  Use language that resonates with peers and customers in your field.

Examples might be:

"Transforming spaces into sanctuaries | Award-winning Interior Designer"

"Tech innovation with a human touch | As seen on [Tech Magazine]"

Thematic bios for creatives and influencers

If you're in a creative field or an influencer, your bio should reflect the niche you're passionate about:

Travel influencers : "Globe-trotter 🌍 | Capturing moments one country at a time |TravelWithMe"

Fashion influencers : "Fashion is my playground | Stylist & Trendsetter | Collab: [email]"

Food influencers : "Culinary explorer 🍴| Tasting the world one bite at a time | FoodieAdventures"

Bios for personal brands

Personal branding is about showcasing who you are and what you stand for. Your bio could include:

Personal mantra or philosophy:  A short statement that captures your approach to life or work.

Passions and skills:  Highlight what you love doing and what you're good at.

Aspirations:  Share what you're working towards to inspire others.

How to Create an Engaging Instagram Bio That Helps Increases Followers

Did you know that with just 150 simple characters, you could potentially make or break your audience growth on Instagram? That’s because when someone lands on your Instagram profile, the very first thing they typically notice is your bio. Your bio is the most crucial part of your profile because it’s where you introduce your brand, make personal connections, and drive traffic to your business. 

Writing a creative Instagram bio is key to making a great first impression. It should clearly describe what your business does in a compelling way, giving potential customers a reason to want to follow. 

According to Forbes , within the first seven seconds of meeting someone in person, people will have a solid impression of who you are. But, your window of opportunity is even shorter online. In fact, research has shown that it takes just 50 milliseconds or 0.05 seconds for users to form an opinion about your website! This is precisely why your Instagram bio is so important. 

In this post, we’ll share tips and tricks that will help you write a stand-out bio. We’ll also provide examples of some of the top bio tools available, as well as highlight a variety of influencers and brands who are really nailing it with truly inspiring Instagram bios.

According to Datareportal’s Global Social Media Stats, Instagram is the 4th most used social media platform in the world, so your brand can’t afford to not have a strong presence.

What is an Instagram bio?

Let’s start from the beginning. An Instagram bio is a small summary, found underneath your username, that describes yourself or your business. Your bio should include a short description, contact information, hashtags, emojis, and a website URL. In order to create the best Instagram profile possible, you need to stay under the aforementioned 150 character limit—so it’s important to make every letter count! 

As a reminder, your bio is one of the main things if not the first thing that people look at when deciding whether or not to follow you on Instagram. A strong Instagram bio is one that explains what you do in a few short sentences or bullet points. Once you fine-tune your bio, you can target your ideal audience, making them more likely to follow. 

What your bio should accomplish

Before you start writing your bio, first think about what it is that you want to accomplish for your brand. For example, a solid Instagram bio should do the following: 

• Highlight essential information including your brand name and category. 
• Provide your contact information so users can get in touch with you. 
• Showcase your and your brand’s personality, style, and voice. 
• Establish your selling proposition so that your target audience understands your brand’s value.
• Drive actions such as sharing content or directing to your website to make a purchase. 

How to write an Instagram bio

Once you’ve established your brand positioning, you’ll be ready to create a top-notch bio. The following are seven of the most important components that your Instagram bio needs in order for your brand to succeed. 

1. Profile photo

Be sure to add a clear, quality photo that visually represents your brand or business. This could be a company logo or a photo of one of your products for example. Your profile photo should tell a story and be representative of your brand. It’s also important to choose images that are consistent across all of your profiles—this helps create your brand identity. 

2. Name and username

Your Instagram username or “handle” can be seen on top of your profile page and is preceded with the @ symbol. This is your Instagram identity and is also a part of your profile URL (instagram.com/myusername.) You should ideally use your company’s name as the account username. The actual Instagram account name will appear bolded on your profile and should be your real or full brand name. 

3. Bio section

When writing your Instagram bio, which is notably the key ingredient to a successful Instagram profile, think about 3 words that best describe your brand. This will give you a starting point that you can expand upon. Be sure to give your bio a personal touch and have fun playing with different types of popular emojis . 

This section is prominently located under your name and is where you have the opportunity to tell people what your Instagram profile is all about in 150 characters. Describe what your brand offers and let users know why they should follow you. 

Don’t forget to add a link to your website—having a CTA is key to driving business. Pro Tip: Consider using a link shortening tool such as bit.ly so that you can create a short and concise vanity URL . 

Since this is the only section of Instagram where you can add a clickable link, you want to make sure that you choose wisely. Perhaps you want to drive users to the homepage of your website. In other cases, you may want to drive to a specific product page or to new content. You can also update this link as often as you like. 

5. Category

So that potential customers can more easily find your brand, be sure to mention what category your business falls into, whether a coffee shop or an online consulting firm, for example. The category will appear right under your business name if you enable that feature. 

6. Call-to-action buttons

If you set up an Instagram Business account, you will have more space to add call-to-action buttons. This way users can take action directly from your Instagram profile from the mobile app. It’s a great tool for selling tickets to an event or booking a reservation, for example. 

7. Contact information

This is a crucial component of your bio and it is suggested that you include the location, email address, and phone number of your business. This provides potential customers with the information they need to contact you or your business. 

Ways to make your bio more attractive

Once you’ve built out the seven key components above, you’ll be ready to take your profile to the next level. In order for your brand to stand out among the competition, you may want to add some of these additional features to your Instagram bio to make it more attractive:

• Hashtags: Start by researching the top-ranked hashtags in your category. You may also want to create a “branded” hashtag that is unique to your business making it easier for users to find your profile. 
• Tagline : Consider adding a unique tagline to your bio telling users exactly what you or your organization does—this could include your values or your mission statement. ‍
• Emojis : Adding emojis allows you to convey your brand’s personality and spice it up by using emojis instead of certain words.  ‍
• Line breaks : This allows you to separate your strengths and provides a clean look—making your profile more easily digestible. 

Optimization

From an SEO standpoint, there are also ways that you can improve your discoverability and reach with your Instagram bio. The following are ways you can use keywords to your advantage: 

• Incorporating a keyword in your name and username will improve your chances of showing up in relevant searches. 
• Your bio is also a great place to sprinkle in keywords that you want to rank for. 
• Writing descriptive captions with relevant keywords will help your profile show up on the “Explore” page of relevant users. 
• Your hashtags within your posts can also be used as keywords which will allow users to more easily find you when searching. 
• Encouraging tagging in posts is another great way to increase discoverability 

Instagram link in bio tools 

You can only include one link in your Instagram bio, but by using a “link in bio” tool, you can connect your users to all of your content in one place. This allows you to transform your single Instagram bio link into multiple links, and it provides additional options for your Instagram followers. 

For example, you can let your followers know about exclusive deals and promotions, add a link to your latest blog post, or post a video snippet linking to your YouTube account.

The following are three of the most popular and widely-used Instagram link in bio tools on the market that can help you level up your game.  

1. Linktree

Linktree lets you create a single link to use across all of your social media platforms. Once you’ve created a custom or vanity URL, you can use the tool’s drag-and-drop editor to easily create a landing page. They offer a free plan that includes unlimited links, social media icons, and basic analytics.

2. Campsite

Campsite allows you to create a simple landing page that pairs photos with a headline. The landing pages have static links that drive to your other social media profiles, website, and email. You can add a list of links with titles and images underneath those clickable buttons. One cool feature of this tool is that it has a Canva integration that lets you design custom images. 

3. Milkshake 

Milkshake is a cross between Instagram Stories and a website. What makes this tool unique is that it features individual “cards” instead of a list of links. The cards take up the entire screen allowing Instagram users to easily swipe through to see more content. This free tool is app-based, enabling you to build websites entirely from your phone. 

Brands with winning bios 

There are many ways that you can spice up your Instagram bio to make your brand or business truly stand out. The following are six diverse examples of winning bios from an influencer, fashion brand, tech brand, food brand, and celebrity. 

1. Influencer

As an influencer on Instagram, it’s important to choose the right niche and your bio content is especially important. Beauty influencer, Ashley Brittany Vasseur ( @vasseurbeauty ) is also a video creator. She does a great job sharing with her audience exactly who she is and what she's about in her Instagram bio. She is a mom, a lifestyler YouTuber, likes to have fun, and links to everything! Ashley also makes use of Linktree to direct users to her landing page where they can access her social media accounts, her skincare website, and her Amazon storefront all in one place. 

2. Fashion brand 

As a multinational sports shoe brand, Nike ( @nike ) has several Instagram accounts, but this primary account does a great job of sharing its position on several sensitive topics. They directly mention what their profile is all about and let their audience know that the brand ‘Spotlights athletes and stories.’ They follow that with hashtags and hot topics such as #BlackLivesMatter and #StopAsianHate. A bio link is added in the third line where Nike effectively delivers its thoughts and brand values. 

3. Tech brand 

Tech company Citrix ( @citrix ) does a great job of telling their story in their Instagram bio in just two sentences. They incorporate the hashtag #UnlockPotential and talk about their mission to deliver a better employee experience. They also make use of the link in bio by featuring their Instagram posts and driving followers to their website. 

4. Food brand 

Food brands such as SHAKE SHACK ( @shakeshack ) have a unique opportunity—they can rotate content to feature new product offerings and specials. Currently, they are using their Instagram bio to let their followers know that the Black Truffle Burger has arrived. They engage with their audience with a call to action encouraging the download of their Shake App for early access. This brand is also a perfect example of the successful use of a link in bio which drives followers to a landing page featuring images and a link to download their app. 

5. Entrepreneur

NYTimes Bestseller, Mario Forleo ( @marieforleo ) has a very strong Instagram bio, and some even say it’s one of the best. The first line of her bio clearly describes who she is, an entrepreneur. The second and third lines of her bio enhance credibility by describing her as a ‘New York Bestseller’ and mentioning her position as CEO. She uses hashtags and emojis well and mentions that she was ‘recognized by Oprah,’ hosts MarieTV, and TheMarieForleoPodcast. The final key ingredient is her contact information including a bio link. 

6. Celebrity

Actress Anna Kendrick ( @annakendrick47 ) keeps her Instagram bio short and sweet but her tactic works! She infuses her witty personality into her bio but simply describes herself as an ‘emotional eater,’ but she can get away with that because we all know who she is. The best part is that she uses Instagram and her influence to direct followers to donate to ActBlue , which supports numerous organizations fighting for racial justice. 

Your impression is everything 

Instagram is a proven impactful social media channel to uplift business growth. In fact, 36.2% of B2B decision-makers use Instagram for research and discover new products.

This is why a catchy Instagram bio is a perfect opportunity to capture attention and leave a lasting impression on your followers. Your bio speaks to your brand’s purpose, mission, and values. By incorporating the right content, you can successfully grow your business and gain followers.

Think of your Instagram bio as sort of an “elevator pitch.” It’s short but powerful enough to share important information with your audience while capturing the essence of your brand voice and personality. 

First impressions are everything and most people will attest to that. If you’re building a brand or business online, the impression you leave on potential customers is just as important as one that you might make in person. Once someone has formed an initial opinion of you, it’s difficult to change their mind. That’s precisely why you should use your allotted 150 Instagram bio characters to your advantage.  

At the end of the day, a killer Instagram bio will start a conversation and engage viewers, hence creating a larger and more loyal following for your brand. Now that’s a win-win!

How to Write the Perfect Instagram Bio

As soon as someone sees another person, an impression is formed. This is true on Instagram as well. During those first few seconds when a new account is found, a user will scan the person’s Instagram bio to find out who they are.

Your bio is part of that first impression you give off. Don’t underestimate its power. You only have 150 characters to give the right message to potential followers. So keep reading to be sure you are creating a powerful first impression with a good Instagram bio.

Establish Your Brand Presence in Your Instagram Bio

Your bio tells users exactly who you are and what you do or sell. How you do this will show your brand personality and what value you have. Your bio needs to be consistent with the message you’re sending in your Instagram posts. It also needs to attract people who would be interested in those posts.

So what should be in your Instagram bio? You are going to say a lot of information using a few words. Here is what you need to include in your Instagram bio:

Profile Photo

First, you have a space for a visual impression. You might want to use your company logo to establish that image or a friendly picture of yourself as your profile photo. Some companies will use a product photo as their main image. All of these are fine as long as it’s a quality image that is consistent with your brand.

Name and Instagram Handle

Your handle is the username that people use to find you or tag your Instagram account. It’s often a shorter version of your full brand name. You also need to include the full name of your brand or company as well.

Description

This is the place to show off your brand voice and personality. You have 150 characters to tell people what you are all about and why they should care. This is the only section of the Instagram app that allows you to include a clickable link to your website. There are many “link in bio” tools you can use to create a landing page to get the most out of this link.

Creating a landing page is useful because it directs people to individual posts and products they may be looking for after seeing your recent Instagram captions . If you don’t want to create a landing page then this is the place to add your link to the homepage of your website.

You can choose to enable the category of your business under your business name. If it is important to provide this information, then enabling the category could save you space in your bio section.

Contact Info and Call to Action

Include any information a potential customer might need to connect with you. You can use email and call buttons to avoid taking up space in your bio with this information. If there is any way that you want Instagram users to reach out or find you, make sure it’s in your bio. If they have to search for this information, they may decide they don’t want it.

Good Instagram Bio Ideas

Before you start making your bio interesting, it’s important to establish the goal so that you don’t go off course. For example, If you are simply displaying your brand personality then you won’t need to include any specific product information.

Display Your Brand Mission

You might want to use your bio to connect with potential followers through your brand’s mission and values. When you clearly state your brand mission in your Instagram bio you are displaying what is most important to your brand or company.

Show Your Brand’s Personality

People like to follow fun accounts on Instagram. Showing a fun personality is a way to stand out among your competitors they may have dryer content. Skittles declares itself the Official U.S. Instagrammer of Awesomeness. It works for their brand voice.

Promote a New Campaign or Product

Some companies choose to change their bio regularly to keep up with their newest promotions. If your account is getting a lot of traffic, it’s a good place to let people know what’s going on with your company.

For example, Billabong is promoting its latest collection of beachwear in its Instagram bio:

Make it Easy to Read

People come to your bio with the question, “Who is this?” If they don’t quickly find the answer to that question, they will likely click away and assume it’s not for them. Make sure that who you are and what you do is stated very clearly in your Instagram bio.

Some accounts use a vertical bar to space out their words so that they can be descriptive without using too many characters. You can also add line breaks to make the descriptive words stand out and make your bio easier to read.

Instagram Highlights

Instagram highlights let you save your stories to your profile. They can be divided into categories and displayed in circle icons. This gives users a nice preview of your brand while they are developing that first impression.

SEO Tactics for a Discoverable Instagram Bio

Instagram’s Explore page allows users to search for keywords to discover accounts, posts, hashtags and locations. The Instagram algorithm on the Explore page is based on a few different factors. This includes the accounts you follow, photos and videos you have liked, and keywords.

When your name and username include the keyword you want to rank for, you have a big advantage. For example, if you sell soap and your name is The Soap.Bar, then you’ll have that advantage when someone searches for soap on the explore page.

However, you can also change the name field in your Instagram profile, and it doesn’t need to be the exact name of your company. When you tap edit profile you will be able to change your name there. And you can include your name as well as what you sell or do to include the keyword.

Your Instagram bio should also include the keywords you want to rank for. Including hashtags in your bio can also help you show up in hashtag searches from the explore page. The keywords you use in your bio will tell Instagram what users will be interested in your content.

If a user follows a lot of eco-friendly fashion brands, then Instagram is more likely to recommend another Instagram account that uses eco-friendly fashion in its bio.

These SEO tactics make your account discoverable, which is an important step to grow your reach on Instagram. After that, you just need to make sure you are giving off that great first impression to convert those people into followers. If you know your brand well, creating that first impression should be easy. Stay true to your brand message and keep these strategic tips in mind to create the perfect Instagram bio.

Introducing yourself as an interior designer on Instagram

Your Instagram profile needs to be true not only to your interior design business but also clearly illustrate a strong client focus.

When you introduce yourself in your bio, you need to address both your business and your potential clients’ needs.

• Clearly show your unique selling points and show your potential clients how you are different from other designers. 
• If you have a specific niche, you must show why your style would suit certain clients better too.
• Make it clear which types of clients you cater to – take the guesswork out of who your target audience is!

To ensure you can make the most of your Instagram bio, consider switching to a business profile. There are several benefits that you will be able to apply to your Instagram profile!

Writing an engaging interior designer bio on Instagram

Think how your clients would think. Would they warm up to a profile that is professional and to the point (such as big corporate clients) or would they be more relaxed and open to a more informal approach (such as moms looking for home stagers or home improvement enthusiasts)?

Once you have pinpointed the tone and feel, you will be ready to write your profile. If you are pressed for time or simply do not know where to start, consider hiring a professional copywriter. Let them write your Instagram bio, or help curate a couple of options to choose from. 

Remember to keep the tone of your interior design bio consistent with your other social media profiles. You do not want your social media followers to feel that there is a disconnect between your different accounts.

Home decor Instagram bio must-haves

When it comes to an Instagram profile for an interior designer, there are several key elements that you need to include in your bio. These include:

1. Targeted keywords. This will ensure your bio will be picked up by the key phrases that people are searching for on Instagram.

2. Your location. Make sure that clients in your area are able to find you. Otherwise, they will be left disappointed when they realize you are not located in their area.

3. Your brand promise. When you show dedication to solving your clients’ pain points, they will feel more connected with your brand 

4. A catchphrase to easily catch the eye and clearly convey what your business does. Think phrases such as “home stager”, “nursery layout expert” or even “kitchen interior designer”. When people are scanning your profile, they will likely just move on if they do not instantly see what they are looking for.  

5. Essential information about your business , including your business name. Also, remember to include a link that will take them to your website or the desired landing page.

6. Your contact details , as some people would prefer getting in touch via e-mail or phone rather than DM.

7. Any possible downloadable content that your target audience would be interested in. This could be something like home decorating tips, how to choose color schemes for their homes, or trending home decor ideas. This is your chance to build a mailing list, so make use of it!

8. Won any high-profile awards ? Make it known in your Instagram bio – it will set you apart from the rest and make your services look more appealing than those of similar profiles. 

9. If you have a specific call to action in mind, such as wanting to motivate your social media followers to register for an event or head to your website to order your services, you need to convey this in an elegant way that is punchy, but not too salesy. Think “ shop our interior design packages on our website ” instead of “ book a consultation now! ”.

Interior design Instagram bio ideas

If you truly want to get creative with your Instagram bio, here are some more ideas to use:

1. Insert emojis to space out your text. Let’s face it, social media followers love emojis, and if your interior design brand is more relaxed and your tone is informal, this is a way to infuse your bio with personality.

2. Branded hashtags are a good Instagram bio idea if your brand has been around for a while. You can use it in your content too and use it for giveaways or promotions, which will help you to track your hashtag and pick up engagement. 

3. Line breaks are a good way to make your Instagram bio easier to read and package it a bit neater. If you want to land several touchpoints in your bio without overwhelming readers, this is a great layout that will ensure no message gets lost in translation! 

4. Instagram quotes are another way to create connections via your Instagram bio. Inspirational quotes can show the inspiration that drives your interior design brand, so consider quotes from thought leaders in your industry that inspired you to start your business.

5. If your brand is more on the quirky side, you can make this shine through in your copy. For instance, if kitchen renos and layouts are your niche, you could consider a phrase like “what is cooking in the kitchen” or “cooking up a storm of kitchen ideas”. You can also experiment with different fonts to make things even more interesting. Do remember that if your brand is a bit more corporate, it is best to not include too much humor.

6. Speaking of corporate profiles: keep your bio to the point about what your business offers to clients, and remember that you can include branded hashtags here too. You do not need to be stuffy, but tone down humor in this case so that your brand is not seen as frivolous.

7. Does your business have several service branches that speak to different niches? Why not consider sister accounts, for instance, one for kitchen renos, one especially for bedroom and children’s playrooms, and one for living rooms and decor. This will be a great tool if someone visits your profile but has specific needs that need to be addressed.

8. Consider adding call-to-action buttons for your business profile. This will free up space in your bio and make it easier for your target audience to perform the desired action, such as “ follow ”, “ message ” and “ contact ”.

9. If your business is eco-friendly and only uses furniture pieces, such as lamps, baskets, chairs, and desks made from natural materials, make your ethically conscious brand personality shine. This is especially important for potential clients who are serious about using natural materials in their homes and who are conscious consumers. When they find a brand that perfectly aligns with something that they are passionate about, they will likely be in touch.

Crews ready to work on huge Anchorage port project sit idle as critical environmental review is delayed

The Municipality of Anchorage is trying to fix a funding problem that has threatened to halt progress on the huge modernization project underway at the Don Young Port of Alaska.

An unexpected delay with a critical environmental review has left the city burning through cash under a $97.5 million construction contract as crews and equipment idle at the facility, with tens of millions of dollars in federal grant funds at risk and the short summer construction season rapidly approaching.

The city was awarded $68.7 million federal grant in 2022 from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration, or MARAD. At the time, the money was touted as a win by Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and welcomed by Mayor Dave Bronson. City officials have planned to use the money to pay for a critical piece of the port modernization program, North Extension Stabilization phase one , which was slated to begin late last month.

Contractors and equipment and have been staged on site and ready for weeks — starting at a cost of about $100,000 per day for the idle resources, according to a city memorandum — but if work begins before the environmental review is finished, the city forfeits the federal grant.

In order to keep the port modernization project on schedule, it’s possible the city could choose to walk away from the federal grant — and potentially lose tens of millions in matching funding from the state — if the required approvals from the Maritime Administration don’t come through in the next few weeks.

On Tuesday, the Anchorage Assembly unanimously approved a contingency plan put forward by Bronson’s administration that would allow the city to make up the budget shortfall using bonds, which would be repaid through surcharges.

“This just places a tool in our toolbox of revenue bonds to ensure that we have the money necessary to move forward with this summer’s construction,” Assembly Vice Chair Meg Zaletel said. “We expect this will be covered by grant funding but it’s always great to have a contingency plan, especially because this construction season is so important to the rest of the sequencing of the port.”

It’s not clear who, or what, is to blame for the current status. Alaska officials have declined to point fingers, although in a memorandum the Bronson administration suggested MARAD suddenly shifted its earlier expectations for the finalization of the environmental assessment. For its part, the federal agency has not answered questions about what, exactly, the city’s documentation failed to fulfill.

It’s also not clear exactly when the city would face a decision whether to forfeit the federal grant and proceed without MARAD’s environmental review complete.

The mayor’s office did not respond to a question about when the city must begin construction or lose the season.

Port officials have estimated that the total price tag of the modernization project is somewhere between $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion.

For years, city officials in Anchorage had asked state and federal lawmakers to help fund repairs.

The Maritime Administration awarded the grant to Anchorage as part of a much larger federal spending initiative under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Alaska’s federal delegation at the time — Murkowski and Sullivan, and the late Rep. Don Young — lauded the bill’s passage and advocated for the grant.

The current phase of the project will stabilize the terrain in the port’s North Extension directly adjacent to the shipping lane. City officials say it’s a key step in the much larger overhaul of the port’s cargo terminals.

The phase “has got to get done in order for us to move into next summer’s construction on the cargo terminals,” Zaletel said.

The Assembly’s vote follows a visit from MARAD officials to the port last week.

Port Director Steve Ribuffo said the city is working closely with MARAD to complete the assessment as soon as possible, and that it’s likely the city won’t forfeit the grant.

“If we can get the show on the road within the next few weeks, then we’re pretty optimistic that everything will get done this season that needed to get done this season,” Ribuffo said in a May 3 interview.

Sens. Murkowski and Sullivan and Rep. Mary Peltola have not responded to requests for comment on the situation.

Sense of urgency

The port’s infrastructure is failing, threatening a critical piece of the state’s supply chain.

Around 90% of Alaskans rely on goods shipped through the port, which handles about 75% of the state’s inbound cargo, including goods such as food, fuel, construction supplies, vehicles and tools.

“The sense of urgency comes from being able to put in place as fast as possible at least one cargo terminal that we know we’ve designed and will construct to withstand a pretty significant earthquake here,” Ribuffo said.

An earthquake, for example, could liquify the terrain in the North Extension, which would likely flow into the existing dock and cause it to fail.

The landslide work must take place before waterside work on the first cargo terminal can start, Ribuffo said. As scheduled, “2026 is when we start driving pile and working in the water,” he said.

According to an April 23 memorandum from Bronson’s administration, city staff and Jacobs Engineering, its project management firm, had been “under the understanding that the environmental assessment was literally complete” and that it would soon be provided the necessary approval.

But that didn’t happen. Earlier in April, MARAD staff “unexpectedly presented the Municipality with a long list of questions” related to the environmental assessment, the memorandum said.

“If the contractor does not commence work, the Municipality will be liable for payment to the contractor for idle workers and equipment. This liability begins at approximately $100,000 per day and escalates as additional workers and equipment arrives at the site,” the administration said in the memorandum.

“Even more important, is the fact that delaying the start of the project due to the time and effort required to respond to these new, unexpected questions may very well result in the loss of an entire construction season,” the administration said.

Ribuffo said while costs may be racking up, contingency is built into the construction contract for such unforeseen delays.

MARAD staff last week visited Anchorage and met with city and port officials and toured the site.

In a statement May 3, a spokesman for MARAD said it couldn’t say when it expects the review to be complete, but that its staff are working on a process that will allow the port to start construction as soon as the assessment is approved.

“We are working hard to support the Port of Alaska in moving this project along; however it is too early in the process to provide a definitive response for this question. Ultimately, it will depend on how quickly the Port can complete” the environmental assessment, said MARAD spokesman T.V. Johnson.

“Once the Port prepares its updates to the current draft of the EA, they will return it to MARAD. MARAD will work through a review of the updated EA as quickly as possible so that we can properly support the Port’s effort to advance the EA. MARAD is committed to completing this process as soon as possible,” Johnson said.

On Wednesday, Johnson declined to answer further questions about the current status of the assessment and referred the Daily News to the city for questions.

City staff sent amended environmental review documents to MARAD on May 3, Ribuffo said Wednesday. It’s unclear exactly when the city will receive notice from MARAD that the review is finished, he said.

“Now we’re in this situation where no news is good news. If they’re not coming back to us with another raft of questions, then we have gone a long way to satisfy what their concerns were initially. So we’re kind of holding out that that is the case,” he said.

Federal environmental assessments are cumbersome processes that generally span well over a year. The city in its application for the grant scheduled 19 months to complete the review, aiming to finish by last October.

For now, the city has some wiggle room in left in the season, Ribuffo said.

But there are many factors to consider, including other potential causes for delays, such as late delivery of supplies, bad weather, and the frequency of beluga whales feeding in the area, he said.

Complex history

The situation adds another wrinkle to a project that has been dogged with problems, including mismanagement that resulted in a several years-long lawsuit between the city and MARAD.

The federal agency oversaw a failed expansion of the port in the early and mid-2000s that cost hundreds of millions in public money. The need to stabilize the port’s north extension results directly from the failed project.

The municipality sued MARAD and its subcontractors and won. In a 2022 judgment a federal judge awarded the city $367.4 million .

MARAD has since appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and in March, a panel of judges heard arguments in the case.

The city is awaiting a ruling and there is no set timeline for a decision, Ribuffo said. The panel could uphold the 2022 judgment and full award to the city, or change the amount of the award, or side with MARAD and nix the previous ruling entirely.

The lawsuit has nothing to do with the grant delay, he said.

City leaders have long pushed for financial help from the state and federal governments. But the project’s reputation of mismanagement, coupled with political resistance toward spending state money on what many have viewed as an Anchorage-specific problem, hindered past requests for port funding.

The tides appeared to have changed in 2022 when the state included $200 million in the capital budget to help rebuild the port, and the city was awarded the federal grant a few months later.

The city aimed to secure federal and state help as a way to defray surcharges that will help pay for the modernization program ; fees that ultimately are passed on to consumers of the goods that pass through the port.

The $1.2 trillion infrastructure package is slated to bring billions to Alaska for improvements to ports, the state’s aging highways and bridges, its ferry system and for increased internet access.

The downside, Ribuffo said, is that the workload for MARAD has dramatically increased as communities across the country seek federal dollars and simultaneously undergo similar review processes.

“And the pressure is on. Congressional delegations all around the country are putting pressure on MARAD and the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Rail Administration to get these things done as quickly as possible. So I don’t envy them the position that they’re in either,” Ribuffo said.

“We’re both moving at the speed of government. So patience is necessary,” he added.
