# CreatorLaneHQ Google Setup Checklist

CreatorLane HQ // the google setup checklist // you commented "GOOGLE" — here it is Get your Instagram found on Google. The 15-minute setup. Since July 2025, Google has been indexing public professional Instagram accounts. Since July 7, 2026, Search Console shows you exactly which Google searches bring people to your posts. Three steps to switch it on — then one simple weekly habit (page 2). 01 Make sure Google can see you ~2 min 02 Connect Google Search Console ~5 min Do this today, even if you optimize nothing else. Data starts collecting the day you connect — nothing is retroactive. Every week you wait is a week of insight you never get back. 03 Write posts Google can read ongoing Your account is Public and set to Professional (Creator or Business). Instagram Settings → Privacy → check that search engine visibility is on. T est it: search Google for site:instagram.com/yourhandle — if your posts appear, you're in. Go to search.google.com/search-console (free, no website needed). Open the property selector → Add property → choose Instagram. Sign in to your Instagram account to verify ownership. Done — data appears within a few days. First 125 characters of your caption = your snippet in Google results. Open with the phrase a client would search — not "New post!!". Add alt text to every image (Advanced settings → Write alt text). Google reads it as data. On Reels, subtitles and on-screen text get indexed too. Say the keyword out loud. Keep bio + name field + geotags in one coherent niche. One clear topic signals authority. CreatorLane HQ · @creatorlanehq page 1 / 2

CreatorLane HQ // the weekly system // setup done? now make it pull leads One search phrase. One post. Every week. You don't need 100 optimized posts. You need a small, repeatable habit that compounds. 04 The weekly loop ~30 min / week // what "one real phrase" looks like If you're an astrologer → saturn return meaning explained → kundli matching questions before marriage → best astrologer in [your city] If you're a fitness coach → fat loss diet plan for beginners → home workout without equipment → online fitness coach [your city] Swap in your niche and city. If someone would type it into Google at 11pm with a problem to solve — it's a good phrase. // why this works A feed post fades in 48 hours. A post that ranks on Google can pull searches — and leads — for years. That's the whole game: stop renting attention, start owning search results. Stuck on any step? Just reply to this DM — happy to walk you through it. No pitch, we simply like seeing creators get found. Pick one real phrase your ideal client actually types into Google. Specific beats broad. 1 Answer it in one post. Caption starts with the phrase. Alt text on. Keyword spoken in the Reel. 2 Check Search Console monthly. See which queries got impressions and clicks.3 Double down. Whatever pulls searches — make more of it. Whatever doesn't — drop it. 4 CreatorLane HQ · @creatorlanehq · more guides on our blog page 2 / 2
