Hi there! Curious about sponsoring regular Facebook posts. I’m in marketing/social media coordination at my company at we usually boost regular posts that get good organic reach/engagements. When I was collecting data from that, I saw that one of the placements was “Instagram Feed on Mobile Devices.” …But my company doesn’t have an instagram. Wondering if Facebook places Facebook ads on Instagram that just link back to Facebook… any idea? Help would be appreciated.

same as comments above, btw your post is not accurate when you state Instagram does not create a new ad when you choose to promote it- it does exactly that, and it does not show it on your page.. so all the likes and feedback you accumulate are never seen, ppl only see your original (non-promoted) post.

I have a promoted image that I requested to run in 5 major fashion cities in US and Europe. The image was a somewhat generic, clean photo that does not feature anything very culturally specific. The promoted image was disproportionately liked by one city (Milan). I have a hard time believing this image is so specifically attractive to one location and little-to-none in the other 4 cities. This makes me very suspicious of how these promotions are actually executed. Is there something in the algorithms that hijack the exposure from your directives? Should I move to Italy? Seems these promotions are useless.

Hi,
I’m having an issue with a promotion I added through Facebook (I clicked the option to also run the ad in Instagram). The likes that show in my notifications aren’t showing in my picture. For example the picture will show in my Instagram notifications as 340 likes but I only see 130 likes showing in the picture. These likes are from actual people not bots. What can I do to fix this problem? I sent feedback to Instagram but they just respond with a “thank you for your feedback.”

In reply to DN.

hi DN,
i think instagaram separate the original post and the sponsored post, if you just click ‘promote’ button on your timelines post then the likes wont be separated. so i suggest if you want to have more likes on the original post, just use ‘promote’ button that appears on the original post. i ever do it too 🙂
hope it helps you

Promoted posts don’t accumulate its likes etc to organic post – which is the most frustrating thing about using Instagram. Can’t believe the fools at Instagram haven’t fixed this!

REALLY REALLY FRUSTRATING!
I promoted one of my post (a t-shirt that I’m selling on my website), and it did gather thousands of likes, I get never ending notification of likes and stuff, but whenever I open my original post, it only has 485!!! I thought it was just a bug or something but it’s a nightmare!
At first I was so excited and all hyped up seeing all the likes and comments on my promoted post, but after realizing it doesn’t actually count and wont consolidate on my original post, the likes notification now makes me so pissed knowing all of that thousands of likes are literally useless! It’s a BIG JOKE that isn’t funny.
Now I turned off my notification because it just makes me really mad and just waiting for the promotion to end!
If I only knew, I wouldn’t have wasted my money for this stupid joke of instagram or facebook or whatever stupid thing this is.
