EP #126: Get found on Google through Instagram

There's a new Instagram update that allows Google and other search engines to index all your content, including posts, reels and videos.

In this quick episode, I’m breaking down what Meta’s new update means for your local business — and how to make sure your Instagram bio and posts are set up to show up on Google when local people are searching for what you offer.

We’ll cover:

• What changed with Instagram and Google as of July 10, 2025
• Why captions (yes, captions!) matter more than ever
• How to use keywords and location to boost your visibility
• The 3 settings to check on your account today
• How to stop relying solely on the algorithm to get found
  
  

And if you want help localizing and optimizing your Instagram bio and feed — without overthinking it — check out The Local Instagram Formula, my $47 mini course that helps you get found by locals on Instagram AND search engines like Google.
