If you want to link Instagram and Facebook Pages that you manage, all it takes is a few minutes.

Before you link Instagram and Facebook Pages together, consider these amazing stats: every 58 seconds, a photo is uploaded to Instagram1 new user joins Instagram every second, and 50 million+ users are already using Instagram.

If those don’t move you to link Instagram and Facebook Pages you manage together, think about it from your fans’ standpoint.

Besides posting  typical Facebook Page updates – “LIKE this post…”, we launched a new product or news about your brand, Instagram photos can be a great way to boost the quality of the content you already post to your Facebook Page.

Why link Instagram and Facebook Pages?

When you link Instagram and Facebook Pages together, not only will this give you additional content to share with your fans, but you’ll also have additional opportunities to engage more with fans.

For example, instead of just taking photos of your business, you can use Instagram to give fans an insiders look into your business. Here are a few typs of photos you can share on Instagram and post to your Facebook Page.

  • Details about your business
  • What your business does
  • Photos of products that you sell (with Instagram filters applied)
  • Spy shots of something that you’re working on (make sure you don’t give away every new product).

In addition to the great content you can generate by taking and sharing photos, you can also save your business time.  When you link Instagram and Facebook Pages you manage together, every time you take a photo with Instagram, it will automatically be uploaded to your Facebook Page for your fans to see, comment, and like!
