In this special episode of The Website Success Show, Jules is joined by Jo Bolton from Flourish Socials to break down a big shift for business owners using Instagram: posts and reels are now being indexed by Google. The conversation, repurposed from a recent Instagram Live, dives into what this change means for your online visibility - and how to make the most of it, even if you’re not a fan of social media.

Key takeaways:

• How Instagram Content Now Appears in Google Search:
  Understand what it means for your posts and reels to be ‘indexable’ on Google and other search engines - and why this matters for your business.
• Visibility Beyond Social Media:
  Learn why repurposing your Instagram content (and mentioning key topics and locations) can help you reach a wider audience beyond your followers, and even show up in AI search results.
• Tips for Optimising Your Profile and Posts:
  Get practical advice on using keywords and locations in your Instagram bio, captions and alt text, plus insights into how Google chooses which content to show.
• The Power of Core Topics and Messaging:
  Discover why staying focused on your core topics and making your messaging clear can help both humans and search engines find (and trust) your business.
• Connecting Social Media and Your Website:
  Hear why it’s still important to direct people to your website - where sales and email sign-ups really happen - and how blog posts and social content can work together for better results.
