FOLLOWERS on Instagram are the people following a profile. Their number indicates the profile’s popularity and determines how highly it appears in search results for target queries. On Instagram, those queries are the #hashtags users place under photographs.

## Follower numbers and activity

The popularity of Instagram profiles is determined not only by the number of subscribers, but also by the average number of likes that are put on the photo.

Choose the follower type suited to your profile from the service list: [Types of Instagram followers](http://promo.apibossa.pw/?tag=nakrutka-podpischikov-instagram).
