To research an Instagram growth service, check review sites like Sitejabber, Platypus Review and Trust Pilot. See what their previous clients think about their services and learn which one is the best.

Tip #2: Keep your budget in mind as you research

Visit the official websites of different growth services and see the packages they offer. See If the prices fall into your budget and feel free to check other companies for packages that support your wallet. Also, find out their payment methods and choose the suitable one for you.

Tip #3: Check that the website is secure

Most malicious sites try to get your card details so that they can keep stealing money from your account. You don't want this. So, only use growth services that adhere to Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. The PCI standards ensure that your credit card details are not retained by the website. Through this, It protects your bank account from fraudulent operations.

Tip #4: Use growth services that deliver followers and likes naturally

Some growth services offer a wide range of packages which lets you buy affordable Instagram followers and likes. For example, you can get up to 50,000 Instagram likes in a single package. So, instead of delivering the followers or likes all at once, it's better to have them delivered in bits.

With this method, your follower and like counts will increase naturally. As such, you'll get realistic looking engagement on your posts and grow your brand faster. Delivery of this sort usually takes between hours to a few days to complete, depending on the package.

Tip #5: Spread Instagram likes across multiple posts

Still on delivery style, you can have your purchased Instagram likes split between multiple posts. It's an amazing way to boost more than one post and promote your Instagram account.

For instance, you can purchase 1000 Instagram likes but instead of giving them all to a single post, you can spread them across 6 posts. This way, each post gets 166 Instagram likes. This method also helps you to balance your follower-like ratio.

Tip #6: Always use free trials

Many growth services offer freebies to their customers. You can get between 10 to 50 Instagram followers or likes for free. We know it's their strategy to get more customers. Still you should use the freebies as it'll help you decide whether or not the service is good. Always test the growth service with their free trial before committing your money. When using free trials, check for the following:

• Speed of delivery. Is it instant or delayed?
• Note if the free followers or likes are from genuine Instagram accounts. Do the accounts show any sign of activity e.g Instagram stories update?
• Monitor for any drops. Did the free Instagram likes suddenly drop from 50 to 25?

If the answers to these questions are negative, then you know that the service is unreliable.

Tip #7: Don't give out your Instagram password

Your Instagram password is confidential and no third party should have any need to access it before giving your purchased likes. Any growth service requesting your Instagram password is most likely fraudulent. A password requirement is your cue to leave the site. Proceeding with the process may cost you your Instagram account.

Tip #8: Be sure that their customer care service is responsive

If you are using a service that is outside your country with a different time zone, having 24-hour customer assistance is important. You don't want to be stuck with a question or complaint when you should be enjoying constant customer support. Ensure that the customer support is responsive and readily available. Checking reviews will help you know about the situation of a site's customer service.

Tip #9: Use services that offer free refills on drop

An ideal Instagram growth service offers followers and likes that don't drop. But sometimes a client may experience drops in their followers or like count. This happens when Instagram removes an account for any reason. The removal of the account means that all its engagements are lost. To curb this problem, a growth service offers free refills on dropped orders usually when they occur within a period determined by the service. Always check that the site you are using guarantees free refills.

Tip #10: Optimise your Instagram profile and posts

When all is said and the purchase of growth metrics is done, you need to keep your account bubbly with more followers and likes. You can do this by optimising your Instagram page so that people can easily find and follow you. Follow these cues to fully optimise your Instagram profile:

• Switch your personal Instagram account to a business profile to have access to valuable features that'll teach you how to use Instagram for business

• Optimise your bio with keywords in your niche that will make your account show up in searches
• Use relevant hashtags to increase your discoverability and visibility. Create your unique hashtag and use industry hashtags
