01Grid aesthetic

Plan the grid before it posts

Every tile is planned against your brand style guide and content pillars, so a new visitor sees one brand, not a run of unrelated posts.

  • Content pillars and a brand style guide
  • A monthly content calendar, planned tile by tile
  • Bio, Highlights and link-in-bio refresh

02Reels

Reels first, cut from one shoot

Vertical 9:16 Reels lead the calendar. The same shoot is cut into carousels and Stories, so each idea shows up in every format.

  • Hooks in the first two seconds
  • Cover frames, on-screen text and captions
  • Syndicated to Facebook Reels

03Stories

Stories that end up in Highlights

Full-screen vertical Stories for the day to day, saved into Highlights so the best of them stay on the profile. When paid is in the plan, the same frames run as Stories Ads.

  • Highlights covers that match the grid
  • Link-in-bio flows from each Story
  • Stories Ads with Pixel + CAPI tracking

Instagram Shop Integration

Every Reel, Story, and feed post can become a shoppable surface - turning engagement into measurable revenue.

Product Tagging

Tag products in feed posts, Reels, and Stories so shoppers can tap-to-buy from native Instagram content.

Collections

Curated product collections on Instagram Shop - seasonal launches, bestsellers, and bundles organized for browsing.

In-App Checkout

Where supported, in-app Instagram checkout reduces friction and improves conversion from social discovery.

Shoppable Content

Every Reel, Story, and post can become a shoppable surface - turning engagement into measurable revenue.

05Engagement

Someone answers the comments

Scheduling, comment and DM response, and daily engagement, plus creator partnerships and UGC programs that put other voices on your grid.

  • Daily community engagement and moderation
  • Meta Creator Marketplace sourcing and briefs
  • Rights management for creator and UGC content

Comments

Example thread

  • a.customer Does the house blend work in a moka pot?
  • copperline.coffee It does. Our brew guide is in Highlights, and the link in bio goes straight to it.

06Reporting

Reported against revenue, not likes

Pixel + Conversions API, server-side GTM and GA4 multi-touch attribution tie each content pillar back to site sessions, signups and sales, in a Looker Studio dashboard.

Paid Meta amplifies winners with revenue-based bidding. SEO informs content angles. CRO ensures profile and landing pages convert. Together they raise brand searches, lower CPA, and translate engagement into revenue. For the paid side in depth, see Instagram Ads; for cross-platform short-form, see TikTok advertising.
