How Much Will I Grow?
One of the most common questions is how much your account will grow, and while it varies, we focus on providing steady, organic growth based on three key factors
When it comes to growth, Ascend Viral prioritizes quality over quantity. While some services may promise thousands of followers overnight, we take a different approach that emphasizes sustainable, real growth. Our Personal Growth Assistants interact with accounts that fit your audience profile, focusing on genuine connections that lead to better engagement over time.
The exact number of followers you gain depends on multiple factors unique to your account, and while it’s hard to pinpoint an exact figure, we typically see anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand new followers each month. Ultimately, growth can vary month by month, but by focusing on consistent, authentic interactions, you’ll build a following that’s engaged and truly interested in your content.
The Three Main Factors
When it comes to Instagram growth, three main factors play a crucial role: Content, Health, and Targeting. Let’s break down how each of these affects your growth.
1. Content
Content is the heart of your Instagram account, and it’s what ultimately keeps followers interested. High-quality, visually appealing posts with captions that resonate with your audience are essential. If your content is engaging and aligns with what your audience wants to see, they’re more likely to stick around and engage with your posts. Content that performs well, such as photos or videos that tell a story, drive value, or evoke an emotion, will naturally lead to better growth. Plus, when you post consistently, Instagram’s algorithm tends to favor your account, giving you better reach.
Our Growth Assistants are here to connect you with the right audience, but consistently posting content your followers love is the best way to maximize growth and engagement. While Ascend Viral handles interactions, your content remains the most significant influence on follower retention.
2. Account Health
Your account’s health refers to how Instagram perceives your activity, engagement, and compliance with its guidelines. Accounts that avoid spammy behavior and follow Instagram’s community guidelines generally perform better. Instagram has safeguards in place to protect users from overly aggressive actions, like following and unfollowing too rapidly or using bots. Because Ascend Viral only uses manual, real interactions performed by Personal Growth Assistants, we stay compliant with Instagram’s rules, keeping your account safe.
It’s also important to note that a history of aggressive actions or the use of bots by other growth services can negatively impact account health. Ascend Viral’s ethical, manual approach takes your account’s well-being seriously, which means growth may start off steady and ramp up over time, keeping the account secure.
3. Targeting
Targeting is the final piece of the puzzle. Growth isn’t just about adding numbers—it’s about adding the right numbers. During onboarding, you’ll outline the types of accounts you want to target, from location and demographics to specific interests and hashtags. This lets your Growth Assistant focus on accounts most likely to engage with and appreciate your content.
Your targeting strategy can be adjusted over time based on your goals, and the more specific and accurate your target audience, the better the engagement and follow-back rates tend to be. While we can’t guarantee a certain number of followers each month, refining your targeting strategy with our Growth Assistants gives you the best chance at consistent, meaningful growth.
Why Competitors Fake Their Numbers
If you’ve compared growth services, you might’ve seen competitors promising unrealistic follower counts or boasting rapid results. Unfortunately, some services resort to inflating numbers by using bots, fake accounts, or “guaranteed followers” tactics that violate Instagram’s guidelines. These methods may give a quick boost in numbers, but they’re often filled with inactive or fake accounts that don’t interact with your content.
Not only do fake followers damage your engagement rate (making your account look less appealing to Instagram’s algorithm), but they can also put your account at risk for a shadowban or other restrictions. Instagram’s algorithms are becoming increasingly adept at detecting inauthentic behavior, and services that use fake followers are often flagged and penalized. These penalties can range from temporary action blocks to a total account ban, leaving you worse off than when you started.
Ascend Viral avoids these practices entirely, relying on ethical, manual methods to grow your account with real followers. While the process may take longer than some competitors, the result is a following that’s genuinely interested in your content and more likely to engage with your posts. This authenticity is what makes our approach stand out in an industry often riddled with shortcuts.
Final Thoughts
Instagram growth takes time, especially if you want real, lasting results. Ascend Viral is designed to build up your audience gradually, connecting you with followers who are genuinely interested in what you share. While there isn’t a specific number we can guarantee, our approach to growth—through quality content, a healthy account, and effective targeting—gives you the best chance for success on Instagram.
