Instagram bio generator for creators and small businesses
You have 150 characters to tell a stranger who you are and why they should follow. Most bios waste them on vague words. This prompt has your todo.is agent look at your account, write ten bios in different styles, and suggest a searchable name field and a reason to tap your link.
The prompt
- Write 10 Instagram bio options for my account [YOUR HANDLE]. I am [WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT THE BUSINESS IS] and I help [WHO YOU HELP] with [WHAT THEY GET]. Look at my public profile if you can open it. Every bio must be 150 characters or less, with line breaks, and include a reason to tap my link: [WHAT IS AT YOUR LINK]. Give 3 short and clear, 3 with personality, 2 with proof (like years or clients), and 2 that are very local if [LOCATION] matters. Use at most 2 emojis per bio. Also suggest 3 options for the name field that include a word people search, like my job or niche, and tell me which bio you would pick and why. Show the character count for each.
What to change
- [YOUR HANDLE]: Your @username, e.g. "@inkbymara".
- [WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT THE BUSINESS IS]: e.g. "a fine-line tattoo artist" or "a vegan bakery".
- [WHO YOU HELP]: e.g. "first-timers", "busy professionals", "local dog owners".
- [WHAT THEY GET]: The benefit, e.g. "small, delicate tattoos that age well".
- [WHAT IS AT YOUR LINK]: e.g. "booking form", "online shop", "free guide".
- [LOCATION]: Your city or area, or write "online only".

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and replace the [brackets] with your handle, what you do and what is at your link.
- Send it from the todo.is app or message your agent on WhatsApp right from your phone.
- Your agent checks your public profile and sends 10 bios with counts and name field ideas.
- Paste your favorite into Instagram yourself. Ask for "more like number 4" to fine-tune it.
Tips for a better result
- Use the name field for search. It is one of the few places on Instagram where a keyword like your job and city helps people find you.
- Say who it is for, not just what you are. "For first-timers" tells the right people they belong.
- Give one clear action. A bio that ends with "Book below" gets more taps than one that ends with a quote.
- Update the bio when your offer changes, like a seasonal menu or open booking dates. Ask your agent for a quick seasonal version.
Instagram bio generator: FAQ
- How long can an Instagram bio be? The bio can be up to 150 characters. The name field has its own limit of 30 characters.
- What should I put in my Instagram bio? Say who you are or what you do, who it is for, and what to do next, such as tap the link to book or shop. Add your location if you serve local customers.
- Does the Instagram bio help with search? The name and username fields are what Instagram search mostly uses, so put your main keyword in the name field. The bio itself helps people decide to follow.
- Can todo.is change my bio for me? No. Your agent writes the options and you paste the one you like into Instagram yourself.
