If you’re not sure where to start with your targeting, Upleap’s got your back. Our system can recommend smart, relevant Targets that are already performing well for accounts similar to yours.

You still have full control over who you target, of course, but a few data-backed suggestions can make the process quicker and easier.

How Targeting Suggestions work

Once you start adding Targets inside your dashboard, suggested ones will begin to appear automatically. These are based on large-scale engagement patterns, real user interactions, and the niche your account falls under. We detect your category as soon as you sign up, which helps tailor the list from the very beginning.

If the suggestions don’t look like a great match, you can always update your category inside the dashboard. Once you do, your suggestions will refresh to better fit your new focus.

Need-to-knows

You don’t have to enable anything to use this feature. Suggestions appear on their own, but there are a few helpful things to note:

• Targets are scored based on how well they convert into followbacks

• Location is not a factor, so some targets may come from outside your region

• Instagram is in charge of account categories, so some niches may have more suggestions than others

• The list updates often, so check back when you’re refining your growth strategy

The takeaway

You don’t need a massive list of targets to start growing. A few well-chosen suggestions can help you point Upleap in the right direction and start seeing real results. Keep what works, skip what doesn’t, and tweak your strategy as you go.
