Build social proof: By showcasing your Instagram Stories on your website, you can demonstrate your authority and expertise in your industry. Visitors can see that you are active on Instagram and regularly share valuable content, which can help build trust and credibility with your audience.
Enhance website design: Embedding Instagram Stories can also enhance the design of your website. By displaying stories on your website, you can add visual interest and break up blocks of text.
Increase engagement: Embedding Instagram Stories on your website can increase engagement with your audience. Visitors can easily see and interact with your Instagram stories directly on your website, without having to leave your site.
