How to Increase Instagram Story Views

Story views are what brands look at to judge how loyal your audience is. If yours are sliding, try these.

• Post stories daily. Instagram favours accounts people watch regularly.
• Use interactive stickers. Polls, quizzes, sliders and question boxes. Each interaction tells Instagram people care.
• Reply to story replies. DMs from stories are a strong relationship signal.
• Don't post 25 in a row. People tap away. Five to eight is the sweet spot.
• Post when your audience is online – evenings for most Indian audiences.
• Share your new reels and posts to stories with a "new post" sticker.
• Save the best to Highlights so new visitors see them.

If you're preparing screenshots for a brand pitch, story view services can lift the numbers on a specific day's stories.
