How does Instagram decide who sees a post?
Instagram now ranks heavily on sends — how many people share your post into a DM or a WhatsApp group. Saves come next, then watch time on Reels. Likes barely register any more. Reels reach people who do not follow you; feed posts and carousels mostly reach people who already do, which is why you need both. The words in your name field, bio and captions are searchable, so putting 'bridal makeup Islamabad' in the name field does more than thirty hashtags.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should cleaning services be anywhere else?
Instagram first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | #1 | 6 clips per week | Cleaning satisfaction clips are one of the most watched formats anywhere, and a single sofa video can fill a month. |
| #2 | 1 post daily plus replies in local groups | Islamabad and Rawalpindi household groups carry sofa cleaning ka koi acha banda almost every day. | |
| WhatsApp Channels | #4 | 3 broadcasts monthly, weekly in the run-up to Ramadan | Ramadan, Eid and pre-summer reminders turn a one-off customer into a twice-yearly booking. |

Instagram questions from cleaning services
Is Instagram actually worth it for cleaning services?
Reels plus a WhatsApp button in the bio catch the younger household that will not phone a stranger. We would rank it number 3 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 4 reels and 4 stories per week.
How often should a cleaning service business post on Instagram?
4 Reels and 4 stories per week. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should cleaning services be on Instagram before anything else?
No. TikTok comes first for cleaning services — Instagram is number 3 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a cleaning service account gets wrong on Instagram?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Everybody wants you in the ten days before Eid and almost nobody wants you in September. That is what your Instagram posts should be answering, in 4 reels and 4 stories per week
What does it cost to have someone run my Instagram account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For cleaning services we usually recommend Starter at PKR 15,000. This trade runs on volume, not polish: eight clips a month posted daily on one platform, plus a number people can tap. Starter keeps it moving without a heavy monthly bill.
