It is ideal for many tasks: - collection of a list of donors (competitors) for use in massfollowing and massliking, for example in [ARC Following](https://promo.apibossa.pw/?key=ucLg3Y56SmKijtzJ95h43Q==); - collecting a list of hashtags for use on their future Instagram posts; - Collection of a list of geolocations also for use in future publications; - geolocation lists and hashtags can be easily imported into [the free autoposting service](https://forum.bos.bz/topic/202-besplatnyy-avtoposting-v-instagram/) (they will be automatically added to the scheduled posts); - selection of geolocations to expand the criteria for selecting the target audience (we will discuss this below). **** For more detail on collecting recommended locations, source accounts and hashtags, read [this publication](https://forum.bos.bz/topic/209-besplatnyy-sbor-konkurentov-donorov-i-geolokatsiy-v-instagram/). ## Example of finding competitors and working with lists Consider a specific case: collecting a competitor list in the apartment-renovation sector. **1.** Go to the site [i.apibossa.pw/analysis](https://i.apibossa.pw/analysis). **2.** in the search bar, list search queries that will allow you to gather the target audience (after entering each request, you need to press ENTER), for example, “renovation of apartments in Moscow”, “Moscow apartment repair”, etc. **3.** Click the "Start Analysis" button. **4.** That's it... the system will automatically select for you all hashtags that are suitable for this topic, all possible competitors and geolocation. **5.** Copy, for example, the list of collected competitors (for this purpose, the copy button under the assembled list is intended). **6.** If you use the ARC following service, then go to the submitted task and expand the list of donors. **7.** Add the donor accounts copied from the recommendation-collection site to the existing list and wait for analysis to finish. ARC automatically removes profiles clearly unsuitable as donors. **8.** Now let's look at how to use the list of geolocations and hashtags... Copy the list of collected hashtags, before clearing it from obviously inappropriate ones. **9.** Open the auto-posting settings in your ARC Following or Free Like Exchange task. Expand the Auto-posting settings. **10.** Paste the previously copied list into the “list additional hashtags” field. Auto-posting will then add randomly selected hashtags to your scheduled photographs. **11.** The same procedure should be repeated for collected geolocations. Thus, the new system of selection of recommendations will not only find competitors and hashtags with geolocations, but also allow you to quickly integrate the collected lists into running tasks for promotion in Instagram.
