Instagram Business Categories List 2024

Last updated on January 3rd, 2024 by Gagan Bhangu

Do you want to know the Instagram Business categories list and guide? If yes, then you’re on the right page.

A professional or business Instagram account allows you to track your account performance and offers additional features compared to a personal account. The business account also allows you to categorize your account by selecting the category.

You can show/hide the account category on your profile. The category helps people find accounts like yours.

So, in this article, I’ll show you the list of all Instagram business categories (including funny, aesthetic, and cool) that you can select and display on your profile.

Well, Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social media platform. It allows its users to create personal and professional (business and creator) accounts.

A personal account is for a normal user and is a little bit different than a business and creator account. A personal account allows you to connect with your friends and family. You can share stories and content. Moreover, you can make your personal account private to hide your photos and videos from strangers.

On the other hand, a professional account gives some additional professional tools and features that help to increase your business.

A business and creator account allows you to get real-time insights. It allows you to track your account interactions and engagements. It also offers extra options such as boost posts reach, contact button, quick reply, Instagram shopping, auto publish content, and swipe-up links on stories (a minimum of 10,000 followers are required to get the swipe-up feature).

Did you know that Instagram has more than 200 million active business accounts?

On your business account profile, you can add links (external and Facebook page), categories, contact info options, and action buttons.

A category is a category label that you can add to your account bio to categorize your account. There are more than 1300 categories available to select from the Instagram list.

What are Instagram Categories?

Instagram Categories are used to categorize the businesses on Instagram professional accounts. In simple words, it tells the users what the business is.

The category label is shown on the business account profile. However, you can show or hide this option as your requirement.

Brands often use the brand name as a user name. So, when users open the brand profile or account, the category label helps them to know about the brand or account category.

Why does Instagram ask you to select a category?

When you create an Instagram Professional (creator or business) account that is dedicated to a brand, public figure, celebrity, company, or organization, then Instagram asks you to select the category to make it clear what type of your business is.

How to Add or Change Instagram Business Categories

Instagram gives the option to add the category label on business or creator accounts at the time of account creation. But you can change it at any time. Note that personal accounts don’t have this option. You need to create a new business account or switch your personal account to a professional account.

Steps to add a category while creating or switching to a professional account:

To create a new or switch to a professional account, open the Instagram app and tap on the Profile icon from the bottom right. Tap on the Menu (three horizontal lines) from the top right and open Settings.
Go to Account and select Switch to professional account from the bottom. After that, tap on continue and select the category.
Note that Instagram shows limited categories in the suggestion list. You need to search for the category manually using the search box.
After selecting the category, toggle on the Display on Profile option and tap on the Done button.

Steps to change the Instagram Business category:

Open the Instagram app and log in to your business account. If you are already logged in, then skip to the next step.
Tap on the Profile icon from the bottom right. From the profile page, tap on the Edit profile button.
Now tap on the Category option and you’ll see the list of suggested categories. Use search to explore more funny, aesthetic, and cool categories.
Select the category and tap on the Done icon from the top right. You can also toggle the on/off Display on profile option.
That’s all.

How to Show/Hide Instagram Business Categories

However, Instagram shows the option to show or hide the category label while selecting or changing the category. But you can also show/hide category labels from profile display options. The steps are given below.

Open the Instagram app and tap on the Profile icon from the bottom right. Tap on the Edit Profile button.
Open the Profile display option and toggle off the “Display category label” option
Tap on the Done icon from the top right.
That’s all.

Final Words
