Did you know people are now searching Instagram the same way they search Google? And if your profile and content are not optimized for that... you are completely invisible to the exact people who are looking for what you offer right now.

In this episode Nicole breaks down one of the biggest shifts happening on Instagram in 2026 that most small business owners have no idea about, and exactly what to do about it today.

You will learn:

  • Why Instagram now functions as a search engine and what that actually means for your content
  • Where keywords need to live on your profile to get discovered by strangers
  • Why this is especially important for local businesses and service providers
  • The real deal on hashtags in 2026... not dead, but way less important than you think
  • Four practical fixes you can make to your profile and content today to start showing up in search
