Handing your Instagram account to a service is a trust decision. The account carries your name, your customers follow it, and a bad month is public. Here are ten things to check before you sign, with the answer that should make you comfortable and the one that should make you walk away.
The ten point checklist
- 1. Does it publish from my own account? Yes, through access you grant inside your own Meta Business Suite. Walk away if posts come from an account the service controls
- 2. Does it use Instagram's official API? Yes. Walk away if it needs your password or runs a browser as you
- 3. Do I see every post before it goes out? Yes, in one place, with Edit and Skip. Walk away if approval is a weekly email thread
- 4. Is video included? Reels are the format Instagram pushes. A service that stops at images leaves the account behind
- 5. How is my voice set? From your website, your past posts and a conversation, written down. Walk away if the answer is a prompt
- 6. Who replies to comments and messages? A person, or drafts a person approves. Walk away if replies are automated
- 7. Does it touch likes, follows or messages? No. Any yes is a risk to the account
- 8. What does it cost, in full? A monthly number that includes writing, design, video and posting. Ask about setup fees and extras
- 9. What is the term? Month to month is the fair answer for a service that has to earn the next month
- 10. What happens if I stop? Published posts stay on your account, access is revoked by you, nothing else changes
