Ways to Integrate WordPress with Instagram

Are you wondering how to integrate WordPress with Instagram? Then this article will help you do just that.

By integrating WordPress into Instagram, you can show off beautiful images and videos to engage your visitors, boost your online presence, and grow your business.

Since there are so many ways of integrating WordPress with your Instagram, we’ve put together this list of the tried-and-tested options. We’ll even share examples and tutorials to help you get started right away!

Let’s get started!

1. Hashtag Testimonials

Testimonials are pretty effective marketing tools when used right. Showing regular people praising your product can help convince your visitors to give it a chance.

So, you can display customer testimonials from Instagram on your website for an easy way to boost your conversions and sales.

As you can see below, Fabletics made sure to embed their Instagram hashtag feed on their website for social proof.

2. Instagram Video Reviews

Like testimonials, user reviews are also a trusted source for people who are interested in a purchase.

In that case, you can make it easier for potential customers by bringing the product reviews to them. This way, you get to choose what kind of impression to make.

“[…] a whopping 88% of consumers now trust product reviews as much as advice from friends and family, putting an anonymous online synopsis nearly on par with the age-old reliability of word-of-mouth marketing.”

– Matt Frary, Digital Marketer & Growth Consultant

A great way to do that is to add Instagram videos to your website. Not only does it liven up the page, but you can also use a positive review to encourage your website visitors to buy from you.

The best thing is, you can do that just by posting the right Instagram video testimonials from your customers.

All you need is the Instagram Feed Pro plugin, and you can freely add video reviews to any part of your website — no technical knowledge required.

Social media isn’t just about posting content of your own. A large part of it involves interacting with others, reacting to other people’s content, and seeing how others respond to you.

And a great way to leverage this to grow your online presence is by showing Instagram users mentioning your brand on Instagram.

Remember the link-in-bio feature? Where you could link a product page or website on your Instagram profile.

With a shoppable Instagram feed, you can take this to the next level to grow your conversions and boost your sales.

Instead of adding a single link to your bio, you can create shoppable feeds where each Instagram post links to a product page of your website.
