Pros

“Instagram allows a user to be completely free in how they choose to use the app, such as username changes, editing existing posts and reels, and uploading content.”

Maria P.

Accessories Designer

“Excellent for showcasing my products and campaigns, strong visibility through visual content, direct communication with my audience, Stories and Reels are very useful, good tool for building GOLF WANG’s brand awareness.”

Nicole T.

Event Marketing and Operations

“Instagram excels with its vibrant visual-first formats like Reels and Stories, seamless in-app shopping features, and highly interactive tools that boost engagement and discovery across a global audience.”

Maria L.

Executive Assistant

Pros

“I know people post links, but so many people are looking for their fur babies it would be nice to have a centralized place for people to communicate.”

K F.

Developer

“It really helped me when I was out of town find contractors and talk to neighbors about what was happening on the local level.”

K F.

Developer

“I know what's happening in my area, and it's great for contractor recommendations, and just keeping the community in the loop.”

Cons

“One of the biggest drawbacks of Instagram is that the algorithm can make it difficult for content to reach followers consistently, especially for business accounts.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

“The pressure to curate a certain image, along with intrusive ads and the addictive, hard-to-put-down scrolling design, were also things I didn't love.”

Léo L.

Content Creator

“I dislike the algorithms that tend to overdue advertisements from gathering users personal information which result in a bombardment of ad repetition.”

Yonas E.

President

Cons

“The biggest drawback is the inability to access data beyond 30 days, which makes it difficult to track long-term performance or compare campaigns over time.”

Ann L.

Head of Marketing

“Nextdoor does not allow you to schedule posts out for future dates, you have to schedule them to post automatically.”

Laura D.

Client Success Specialisf

“In my case they allocated to me the next door area. If I try to change it to the correct area, a message pops up, saying you can't change your neighbourhood! If you post a negative review about a company and the company asks it to be taken down, Admin will do so, even if they readily agree it doesn't break any of their rules and you offer to provide proof of your experience with the company.”
