Build a profile people follow

Your profile is the link in your bio. A complete profile looks trustworthy, gets more Radar followers and stands out on the Creators page.

Sign in to see your own checklist.
  1. 1 Add a clear profile photo
    • Your face, well lit, same photo as on Instagram so followers recognise you.
  2. 2 Add a cover photo
    • Your best food or place shot. It's the first thing people see on your page.
  3. 3 Write a bio (30+ characters)
    • Say what you pin and where: "Street food & cafés in Ahmedabad · new spot every week".
  4. 4 Link your Instagram and socials
    • Add Instagram (and YouTube if you have it) in Edit profile → Social accounts.
  5. 5 Use your real name
    • Your name as your audience knows you, not just your @username.
  6. 6 Add more pins (aim for 10+)
    • Pin every place from your clips — old ones too. More pins = a fuller map for your followers.
  7. 7 Make your pins complete
    • Pins with good photos, the clip link and #tags make your whole page look better. See the pin guide.
Avoid
  • Leaving the default grey avatar
  • An empty bio
  • Changing your @username after sharing links (old links stop working)
