If you want to get the best results with Nitreo, there’s one important thing you can’t skip: making sure your Instagram account is public. A private profile might feel safer, but it shuts the door on a lot of growth opportunities and limits how much Nitreo can actually help.

Here’s why switching to public isn’t just recommended but essential.

Why going public unlocks real growth

Nitreo helps you get discovered by connecting with real people based on the targets you set.
If your account is private, though, those users can’t see your posts. And honestly? Most people won’t bother requesting to follow someone they know nothing about.

When your account is public:

New visitors can check you out immediately
You can appear on Explore and hashtag pages
Anyone can like, comment, and share your content without hurdles

A public profile lets Nitreo actually work the way it’s meant to.

What staying private really costs you

If you stick with a private account, here’s what you’re losing:

Fewer people visiting your profile
Fewer followers, even if Nitreo finds the right audience
No appearances in Explore or hashtag feeds
Slower, way more limited growth

Even if everything else is perfect, your targets, your posts, your strategy...staying private kills your momentum before it even starts.

How to switch your Instagram profile to public

Good news: making the switch takes about 30 seconds. Here’s the quickest way:

Open Instagram and head to your profile
Tap the three-line menu in the top right
Go to Settings and privacy
Find Account Privacy
Turn off Private account

Done. Now your account is ready to be seen (and followed) by the right people.

Why it matters for Targeted Growth and On-Demand Followers

Both of Nitreo’s main growth options need you to be public to run properly:

Targeted Growth: Nitreo interacts with users based on your targets. Public profiles let people see what you’re about and follow without hesitation.
On-Demand Followers: If you’re using On-Demand Followers for a quick boost, a private profile stops the process cold. No one can follow a private account without approval, and that defeats the whole point.

One small setting change makes both strategies run smoother and faster.

Thinking about a Business or Creator account?

If you want even more reach, switching to a Business or Creator account is worth it. They’re public by default and come with perks like analytics, contact buttons, and category labels that help you look more professional.

If you’re serious about building something bigger than a personal page, this is a smart next step.

Key takeaway:

Keeping your Instagram account public is more than just a technicality! The easier it is for users to find and interact with you, the faster your follower base will grow.
