How to monitor your competition for content ideas

Instagram is all about content.

Content can make or break your Instagram account. High-quality, consistent content receives higher engagement. This in turn results in your posts being shown to more users, and your account gaining traction. On the other hand, poor quality content can result in losing followers and your content being shown less. Unfortunately, generating solid content regularly can be a challenge. That’s where social monitoring comes in.

Social monitoring is one of many tools you can use to keep on top of trends and get content ideas. It has a number of benefits in terms of content generation, including finding content to repost, keeping tabs on UGC, or user-generated content, and monitoring other users for content inspiration.

AiSchedul’s social monitoring features are an easy way to keep track of IG competitors and level up your content. Find relevant and interesting content for your Instagram feed or stories. Listen to Hashtags, Instagram Accounts, and Mentions, and save or repost content with a click!

Here we’ll explain how to monitor your competition for content ideas using these tools.
