Instagram Verification: Myth or Reality? One Entrepreneur's Experience

Instagram Verification: Does It Really Boost Reach? An Argentine entrepreneur, Romi (@lookeotuperfil), recently shared her experience with Instagram's verification process, challenging the common assumption that it automatically increases reach. "In my case," she explains in a recent video, "verification didn't significantly boost my views or engagement." This contradicts the widespread belief that a verified badge leads to more visibility. However, Romi highlights the critical role verification played in protecting her account from impersonation. She successfully reported a fake account using her name, emphasizing the security benefits of verification. While her experience suggests that increased reach isn't a guaranteed outcome, the value of verification for account security remains clear. The incident underscores the need for creators to prioritize account protection, irrespective of the reach benefits of verification.
