As consumers, we’ve all had that experience on mobile where you click a link and despite having the app installed, the link takes you to a mobile website to login where you abandon in frustration. For brands, advertisers and publishers it’s a lost opportunity for engagement and revenue.
Instagram is no exception. The good news is there’s an easy way around this with URLgenius. For example, you can update the link to your Instagram profile so it can detect the Instagram mobile app for iOS and Android. You’ll increase engagement, attract more follows, and get more likes and comments as you get your audience into the Instagram mobile app for iOS and Android as often as possible.
Pro tip for your brand’s app: Want to link into your brand’s mobile app from your Instagram profile or Instagram stories? You need an app deep link that can open your app from social media. You can create an Instagram deeplink with URLgenius simply by entering the App Store link or the Google Play link for your app into the box provided on the URLgenius home page. Fill out the fields accordingly then select “Compose”. Note that you can control where to send someone that does not have your app installed. You can set it to go to the right app app store or to a web URL. You’ll get some cool reporting too including app opens, app store visits vs. desktop clicks. Contact us if you need help setting app links for your app. There’s no SDK or tech resources required!
