About

FollowKit Cities

Features
Read full description

FollowKit Cities is a personal networking system for growing a local business on Instagram. Pick your city and business type and it builds you a focused list of accounts worth pursuing: local government handles, chambers of commerce, city media, neighborhood influencers, event venues, festival sponsors, and peer businesses in your space. Track every relationship step by step. Each account moves through your own pipeline: To-Follow, Followed, DM'd, Connected. You decide when to advance it, and you can add private notes to any account so you remember how you met and what to follow up on. Send intros that sound like you. FollowKit generates a personalized intro-DM template for each account based on their type and your business. Copy it, tweak it, and send it from Instagram. Nothing is sent automatically. Tap any account to open it directly in the Instagram app. No copying handles, no searching. Explore beyond your city. Once you have worked your local market, browse accounts from other cities and states and move any of them into your pipeline. Hit weekly goals and build a habit. FollowKit sets a weekly networking score based on how many accounts you follow, reach out to, and connect with. Hit your targets and earn badges. Miss a week and you see exactly where you stalled. Who it is for: bar and restaurant owners, retail shops, service businesses, contractors, freelancers, anyone growing through local community and word of mouth rather than paid ads. FollowKit Cities does not post to Instagram, does not access your Instagram account, and does not send messages on your behalf. All outreach happens through your own Instagram app, and your pipeline data stays on your device.
