How to downrank your Instagram

[Graybeard]

In reviewing Instagram's Recommendation Guidelines, the key parameters of note for brands, in terms of what Instagram looks to downrank in search matches, are:

• Content that promotes or depicts cosmetic procedures
• Content containing exaggerated health claims, such as “miracle cures”
• Content attempting to sell products or services based on health-related claims, such as promoting a supplement to help a person lose weight
• Content that promotes misleading or deceptive business models, such as payday loans or “risk-free” investments
• Content that may be sexually explicit or suggestive, such as pictures of people in see-through clothing.
• Content that promotes the use of certain regulated products, such as tobacco or vaping products, adult products and services, or pharmaceutical drugs
• Unoriginal content that is largely repurposed from another source without adding material value
• Content that promotes a contest or giveaway
