AI Instagram Ads for Local Businesses

Instagram Reels (9:16) is the top-performing format for local businesses. Behind-the-scenes content, transformation reveals (before/after), and staff introductions consistently generate the highest engagement and local reach. Post 3-5 Reels per week organically and boost the best performers as paid ads.

Create Reels showing trainer-led workout clips, member transformation stories, and facility tours. Target people aged 18-45 within a 10-mile radius interested in fitness. Use Instagram Stories ads with "Book a Free Trial" swipe-up to your scheduling page. Consistency matters — post daily and run ads to keep your gym visible in local feeds.

Extremely well. Beauty content is one of the most engaging categories on Instagram. Create Reels showing styling transformations, color reveals, and product application tutorials. Before-and-after formats earn shares that extend your reach beyond your paid audience. Target local women aged 20-55 interested in beauty and self-care.

Add your business location tag to every organic post and Reels. Instagram surfaces tagged content to users browsing nearby locations, providing free local distribution. For paid ads, use geo-targeting to reach users within your service area. The combination of location tags on organic content and geo-targeted paid ads maximizes your local visibility.
