How To Add Location on Instagram Bio

Instagram has several unique features you can use to stand out to your followers or customers. For example, on Instagram’s bio feature, you can include a brief statement regarding your business (if you are using an Instagram business account) that lets your customers know what products or services you provide.

Additionally, you can include a location on your bio so your followers or customers can locate you quickly.

You’re not alone if you’re struggling with adding a location on your Instagram bio. Please note that you need an Instagram business account to add a location to your Instagram bio. You can’t add a location to your bio using a personal or creator Instagram account. If you have a personal account, switch it to a business account, and add a location to your bio.

Overview of Adding a Location to Instagram Bio

Location on Instagram bio is a blue clickable hyperlink that appears under your Instagram user details. The purpose of the location information is to make it easier for a follower or customer to see and find your location. When a follower clicks on the blue location link, the link redirects them to a map showing the direction to your location on the map.

As mentioned earlier, adding a location on your Instagram bio only works for business accounts. If you use a personal account, you can easily switch to a business account and add a location to your bio. To change from a personal account:

1. Open Instagram and log in.
2. Tap on the profile icon in the bottom right corner.
3. Tap the menu icon in the top right corner.
4. Select “Settings.”
5. Choose “Account.”
6. Tap on the “Switch to Professional account” and follow the on-screen instructions.

Adding your location to your Instagram business account is especially important because it lets your target customers know your exact location. Your location on your bio also helps lock in walk-in customers who want to visit your business premises in person.
