In addition to optimizing your bio, editorial plan, and all elements visible to users in general, it is essential to also pay attention to profile settings.
It might seem like a tedious or complex task, but many “invisible” factors that affect the visibility and growth of an Instagram account actually depend on them.
Often, small technical details that are easily overlooked influence how the profile is shown, the suggested content, and even the quality with which posts are displayed.

Here are some settings to check and optimize to improve your profile’s performance.

Key settings to improve Instagram profile performance

By accessing Settings and activity → Sharing and remixes, it is advisable to enable Embeds.
As the platform explains, when this feature is active, public posts or the public profile can also be viewed outside of Instagram, for example in articles and blogs.

Also in Settings and activity → Account status, it is important to check for green checkmarks, which indicate that the profile has no limitations or restrictions. An account with reports or penalties may have reduced visibility, so keeping an eye on this section is essential.

In Settings and activity → Media quality, we also recommend enabling high-quality uploads. This ensures that photos and videos maintain their definition even after the platform’s automatic compression, improving the overall look of the profile and the users’ visual experience.

Finally, by accessing the desktop version of Instagram and opening Edit profile, it is useful to enable Show account suggestions on profiles. This option allows your profile to appear among other users’ suggestions and, at the same time, show similar accounts on your own profile, thus increasing the chances of being discovered.

Taking care of profile settings alone is not enough to guarantee growth on Instagram, but it represents a concrete step toward improving visibility and encouraging audience interest. An effective strategy requires consistency, planning, and valuable content.
