1. Research your competitors When you go into battle it always pays to know who the opposition is, plus what their strengths and weaknesses are. Doing a little competitor research is a great way to gain a huge advantage and bucket loads of intelligence and ideas without having to do all of the leg work yourself.As your direct competitors will be targeting the same audience base as your own Instagram efforts, study how they manage to generate interactions. By that, we mean note the hashtags they use, as this is a huge part of audience discovery, study the style of images they use, their frequency of posting and the nature of their captions. 2. Engage more Go through your recent posts and the comments on those posts. Have you liked and replied to all? Engagement is about conversations and interacting with your audience is a key part of giving your Instagram presence a boost. Be consistent and on the ball when it comes to engaging your audience – respond to direct messages promptly, interact in the comments, reshare user generated content and answer questions as quickly as you can. 3. Use Stories Stories are known to be a very effective way of building a strong Instagram presence. They are well liked by Instagram’s community and generate a good percentage of views. Posting regularly to your stories can bring you much closer to your audience and help you forge stronger relationships with your Insta fans. Stories are also interactive so don’t shy away from asking questions. Video is a popular medium here and it’s well worth mixing your standard image posts with video in Stories for the best results. 4. Publish more video content Videos are now part of the Discovery feed on Instagram and, as is often said, video is the most consumed content format online today. Video draws in users and can turbo charge your Instagram account followers. Experiment with more video if you don’t already do this – you can double down with this content and use it to launch your own Instagram TV channel, if you can commit to keeping it updated.

Starting a new business can be time-consuming and difficult. The first challenge is to find or build a great product or service that your customers need. You will also need to create a brand, develop marketing collateral, design a website, find customers, and develop a range of new skills. You will most likely have to hire a team of experts to help you get started.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility.  Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
