Grow Your Local Business

Why Instagram Growth Advice Doesn’t Work for Local Business Owners


Listen Later

Unfortunately, most Instagram growth advice out there is designed for influencers and online businesses — not local service providers.

That’s why so many local business owners waste so much time posting Reels, chasing views and trying every challenge they see online… only to end up with more industry peers or strangers from around the world following them instead of the people who can actually hire them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why those “sexy” Instagram tips don’t work for local businesses and what to focus on instead if you want to attract real paying clients in your city.

Tune into this episode to learn:

  • Why viral growth doesn’t equal local growth and how it can actually hold you back from getting clients
  • What makes 100 local followers more valuable than 1,000 random ones (and how to reframe the way you think about growth)
  • The core actions you need to focus on to consistently attract local followers and why the system matters more than any single tactic
