How to set up Kicksta as a business
1. Add similar accounts
On the Targeting page, add competitors, similar brands or popular local accounts in your area or industry. Add at least 3.
2. Add locations
If you serve a specific area, add the countries where your customers are. Online stores that ship internationally can add every country they ship to.
3. Add hashtags
Add hashtags your customers use, such as local hashtags (#sandiegoeats) or product hashtags (#slowfashion).
4. Set your audience filters
Choose interests that match your products, such as Food & drink, Fashion, Beauty, Coffee or Home & interior. If you sell to consumers, consider turning on Skip business accounts so you mainly reach individuals.
5. Train your ideal follower
On the AI training page, swipe yes on profiles that look like your customers and no on the rest.
