Choosing relevant targets helps Kicksta connect your profile with people who may be interested in your content. Whether you’re a business, creator, or personal brand, finding accounts with an audience similar to yours is a useful starting point. 🎯
Our Targeting Suggestions help you discover accounts to consider when adding new sources to your targeting setup.
How Targeting Suggestions Work
When you click Add source on your Targeting page, you’ll see a Suggestions list.
These suggestions come from Instagram’s similar-account recommendations—the same type of accounts you might see in the suggested profiles row after following someone on Instagram.
They provide ideas for potential targets, helping you explore related accounts without starting your search from scratch.
How to Add a Suggested Source
Open the Targeting page in your Kicksta dashboard.
Click Add source in the Sources section.
Browse the accounts under Suggestions.
Select an account you’d like to use, then click Add source to confirm.
You can also use the Search accounts or hashtags field to find a specific source. Your targeting setup can include up to 30 sources on our Advanced plan.
Choosing the Right Suggestions
Suggested accounts are a starting point. Before adding one, review its profile and consider whether its followers would be interested in your content.
Look for accounts that:
Share content related to your niche, products, or services.
Attract the type of audience you want to reach.
Match your intended language or market, especially if your business serves a specific location.
For example, if you run a boating business, accounts focused on boating, sailing, or captain training may be relevant sources.
Important Things to Note
Suggestions are based on Instagram’s recommendations. They are not a list of Kicksta’s highest-performing targets or ranked by followback rate.
Relevance can vary. A suggested account may not match your niche, location, or ideal audience, so review it before adding it.
Suggestions don’t guarantee results. Performance depends on how well a source’s audience connects with your profile and content.
You’re in control. You can choose from the suggestions or search for accounts and hashtags yourself.
After adding sources, monitor their followbacks and followback rates on the Targeting page. Allow time for results to develop, then use that information to refine your choices.
