Are you a business owner who is stammering about adding your business location on Instagram? Well! It is not that complicated. If you have an Instagram Business account, you can directly add the required area and ZIP code to your profile, which will be fetched to the bio page. Normal Instagram account holders can paste the link of their location directly on the bio page, either through the Instagram app or website. Thus, pinning the area on Insta bio will be a great way to marketize your shop and earn more customers.
Note: It is recommended that location links be placed on the Insta bio in shortened form for some major reasons. The first thing is to benefit visitors and look professional. The next reason is that Instagram allows only 150 characters in an Instagram bio. You can use free external shortening tools to shorten links.
