Frequently Asked Questions
Good Instagram usernames are short (under 20 characters), relevant to your niche, easy to remember, include keywords if possible, and are available. They should reflect your brand or personality.
Underscores (_) are more readable than dots (.). Dots can be confused with periods and look less professional. Avoid both if possible - clean usernames without special characters rank higher.
You can change your Instagram username as often as you want (no waiting period). However, frequent changes confuse followers and hurt discoverability. Change sparingly and give followers time to adjust.
Yes! Keywords in usernames help with search. An account named 'digital_marketing_tips' ranks better for 'digital marketing' searches than 'johndoe2024'. Use relevant keywords when possible.
No, Instagram doesn't have username reservations. Names are available first-come, first-served. If you want a specific username, create the account immediately (even if unused).
Depends on your goal. Personal brands use real names. Business accounts use business names. Influencers often use creative handles. Think about long-term branding - personal names limit future pivots.
Minor variations are fine if your handle is unique enough. Instagram allows similar usernames. Focus on making YOUR brand distinctive through content and bio. Don't directly copy - it hurts credibility.
Use keywords in your username, keep it short and memorable, make it match other social platforms, and ensure it reflects your niche. A good username reduces friction for people searching you out.
