8 Killer Instagram Caption Prompts

You have probably heard it time and time again, maybe even from us.  GREAT CAPTIONS CONVERT.  Why, you ask?  Because they are engaging.  Engaging captions invite your reader into your brand, and suggest that they sit down for a little chat.  But, you don’t have to go it alone. Writing prompts can help you write captions that get your followers talking!

If you are an Instagram Guide user, you know that our goal is time on platform.  Encouraging our followers to pull up a chair, sit down, and hang for a while.  Once we have them hanging out with our content, the Instagram algorithm is like “OH HEY, they like her stuff, we should show it to them more often”.

So skip the “just me and my dog” and get to writing about the reason you love your dog and the joy they bring into your life. If you are feeling stuck, there are a million prompts to get your creative juices flowing.

Here are 8 Instagram Caption Prompts that you can use right now to increase your engagement!
