Instagram guides were initially introduced in mid-2020 and limited to the health and wellness industry. They were designed as a way to create single resources around any specific topic or product. To illustrate, a nutritionist could create a guide for “Healthy Recipes to Make in Under 20 Minutes” or any variety of other topics they cover in their content.
Instagram describes guides as “a way to more easily discover recommendations, tips and other content from your favorite creators, public figures, organizations and publishers on Instagram.” In addition to being able to group and gather your own Instagram content, guides also allow you to bring in content from other accounts.
In essence, Instagram guides are individual albums or groups of content collected into a single resource. Instagram guides allow you to group a mix of educational content, product information, team insights, behind-the-scenes looks, and more into relevant categories. This makes it easy for your audience to quickly find and view those posts, rather than scrolling through all of your content.
