Hi,
Who in India can be a good coach to grow instagram and social media accounts for a services related business. I have read good things about aanvisocial , but is she equally good for service related pages, apart from the product pages?
The coaching question matters less than the reason most service accounts stall. Product pages have something to show, a new drop, a sale, a launch. A service business has to manufacture that equivalent, which usually means showing the work instead of describing it.
A few things that actually move service accounts:
Before and after beats a testimonial every time. Post the process, not just the result, since people book based on how you work. One clear offer per profile, and if nobody can tell what you do within five seconds of landing on the grid, the bio and highlights are the problem, not the reach. Local location tags matter more than hashtags when you are serving a specific area.
On picking a coach, ask for service-business examples specifically. If they cannot show you a services account they grew and what changed, they have not done it yet.
One thing worth checking before paying anyone. Ask your last five customers how they found you. That usually reveals the channel actually deserving the budget, and more often than not it is referrals rather than the channel people are about to hire for.The coaching question matters less than the reason most service accounts stall.

There are many software that can do it for you.

What service are you in, and what city do you serve? That changes the answer a lot.
Most service businesses get more out of a solid Google Business Profile, a few reels showing the work, and a simple system for asking every happy customer for a review or a referral, before they put real money into a paid Instagram coach. Knowing your service and your area helps narrow down what is worth doing first.
I have not worked with her so I cannot vouch either way. But here is how I would judge any coach for a service business.
Product pages sell with visuals. Service pages sell with proof and DMs. A coach who teaches transitions and trending audio will not help you. Ask them one question: show me a service client who got actual clients from Instagram, not just views. If they can only show product pages or follower growth, keep looking.
i help a guy with his content, and lately i feel weird taking any credit for the numbers. he makes beautiful short videos, properly shot, with a lot of thought behind the lighting and the edit. those usually get a few thousand views. his work needs the reach, so i suggested trying some of what's already working. copying trending concepts and formats, adapting them to his style, using trending audio. those started clearing 100k, some way past that. it kept happening, and eventually “let’s try a few” turned into most of what we make. when we first started working together, we'd spend our conversations talking about shots, where the light would be, how long to hold on something. now we're mostly talking about whether a trend is still alive and if we can get ours posted in time. he told me he feels like he's losing a little piece of his soul for views. i didnt really know what to say because i'm the one who encouraged it, and the reason i gave him still holds up: more people are seeing his work. except i'm starting to wonder what that's worth if the work they're seeing is stuff he doesn't want to make. i don't think the trend videos are beneath him or that being proud of something means it deserves 100k views. but we went into this thinking the trend stuff would bring enough attention to support the work he actually cared about. instead, every time we plan one of his original ideas, we're comparing it to what following a trend could do, and it gets harder to justify spending the time. for people who manage accounts for a living, have you actually made that balance work? i'm interested in how you decide what gets made when the stuff your client loves consistently gets a fraction of the views. we said we'd keep doing both, but that hasn't meant much in practice.
I am(21M) we are 4 members in my family my younger sister and my parents . My mom runs a small shop and my father too. We all have smartphones except my mom. Over 5 years we are using phones. But my don't have a smartphone or any phone she doesn't even know how to use it. At the night when father comes home and she too then she watch some serial in phone. I noticed she is more happier than 3 of us. She is extremely focused on her work and doesn't complain for anything and handle all the situation very wisely. She knows the real world and not influenced by the fake social media world.
No you cannot keep up with me, you will not know anything about my life or see updates with my appearance. I used to have a little following and after Covid maybe 2023 I had a realization about family & “friends” when I would take breaks they would say “You haven’t posted in a while” or they would question why I deleted or temporarily deleted profiles. But I noticed we barely had conversations on phone or texting… just them watching me online. Now I am permanently gone there is no photos of me on the internet if you want to see me or talk to me you will have to call me or reach out in some way.l or be reciprocal when I reach out. I am not an image on the internet I am a human being with a beating heart. Also after receiving stalking or weird jealousy about photos even though my whole life I was told because of my height and “ beauty” that I should be a model but once I tried it made people call me conceited or XYZ, like no…all of you guys overly talk about my appearance since I was a child constantly so I tried to do what everyone said my whole life and all it did was cause a rift due to me receiving attention. I don’t want internet fame or to be observed online. Something else is I had this happen a few times where men would take my innocent selfies NO CLEAVEDGE NO SKIN showing and I would be the green screen and them videoing themselves jacking off to me. All of social media is disturbing it makes people compare themselves and be weird and perverted that’s all. 3 years no social media 💪 join the wave
Hear me out. One post hits 500K views, you pick up a couple thousand followers who came for that one random thing, and then your next 10 posts do worse than before the viral one. Those new people followed a moment, not you. They don't watch your normal stuff, so the platform sees lower watch time and engagement on everything after and quietly pulls back reach. From what I've seen, more small accounts stall after a viral hit than grow from it. The ones that actually benefit already had a clear thing they post about, so the viral post was just a louder version of their normal content. So instead of chasing one big hit, maybe chase being the account people come back to. Disagree? Has a viral post actually helped your account long term, or did it mess up your reach after?

There have been a few posts recently from people complaining that the algorithm has killed their reach. One thing there seems to be somewhat of a consensus on, and that the platforms are themselves saying, is that engagement is becoming more important than followers. However, it's difficult to get any concrete information about what actually determines organic reach, so I thought we could tap into the Reddit community for some real-world insight. What changes have you noticed in what determines your organic reach? Are there still ways to "play" the algorithm, or would you just focus on making good content? Have you noticed any differences between platforms in this regard?
