Instagram marketing for UK small businesses. Turn followers into customers.
Likes are nice. Enquiries pay the bills. We're the Instagram marketing agency that plans, creates and posts Reels, carousels and Stories for local and growing businesses, with one goal: more of the right people getting in touch.
Followers without enquiries is just noise.
Most small businesses on Instagram are stuck in one of two places. They post a nice photo now and then and hear nothing back, or they post all the time and grow followers who never buy. We fix both.
Pretty grid, no sales
The feed looks lovely, but it isn't bringing people through the door.
Reach keeps dropping
Fewer people see each post, and you don't know what changed.
No time to keep it up
Reels, Stories, captions, replies. It's a job in itself, on top of your actual job.
DMs go unanswered
Enquiries arrive in messages and comments, then get missed or answered too late.

Why Instagram works for small businesses
Instagram is where people check you out before they buy. They look at your profile, your Reels and your tagged posts to decide whether you're worth the visit, the call or the booking.
Reels reach people who don't follow you yet, and Stories and DMs keep you front of mind with the ones who do. The businesses that win use each format for a clear job, not just to fill the grid.
Reels for reach
Short video gets shown to new people who don't follow you yet.
Carousels and posts for trust
Tips, proof and behind the scenes that give people reasons to choose you.
Stories and DMs for sales
Everyday updates and conversations that turn warm followers into bookings.

Instagram marketing questions, answered
Is Instagram still worth it for a small business?
For most local and consumer-facing businesses, yes. It's where people check you out before they buy. Run our free Instagram Roaster, or book a call, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth your time, or whether another platform will do more for you.
What's the best Instagram marketing strategy for a small business?
Pick one clear audience, give each format a job (Reels for reach, carousels for trust, Stories and DMs for sales), post consistently, and give people an obvious next step in your bio and captions. Then measure what brings enquiries and do more of it.
Why use an Instagram marketing agency instead of doing it myself?
You can do it yourself. But the fastest route to results is repeating what already works, and we already know what works on Instagram. You skip months of trial and error and get your time back.
How long before I see results?
We work in 30-day social sprints. Each sprint has a clear goal, a content plan and a report at the end. The first sprint shows which content gets traction, and each sprint after builds on what brings enquiries.
How much does Instagram marketing cost?
A 30-day social sprint starts from £750. The final price depends on how much content you need, and whether we film on site or edit footage you supply. See our pricing, or book a free call and we'll give you a clear figure.
