Upleap Review — IS IT WORTH THE HYPE??
Upleap Review — At First Glance
When you first hit the site, you’re confronted with a few claims. Upleap mentions they’ll help you grow your Instagram faster with a dedicated account manager. Upleap also says they’ll help you:
- Increase your Engagement
- Grow Your Reach
- Increase Your Followers
Then you’re confronted with a pretty big sign up button. Cool, those claims are pretty boisterous so we looked into their approach a little more. Their site is pretty slick, so we’re not too sure what to think. At this stage, we feel pretty good about the service, albeit a little skeptical. When you look a little more into how it actually works, it’s very clear that Upleap does four things.
First, you’re assigned an account manager that helps you grow your Instagram for you. We really did get an account manager and spoke to her via support (more on that later). Second, your account manager likes posts on your behalf. How your account manager chooses posts is something we’ll cover in the next section. Your Instagram account manager also views Instagram stories for you, which is something we’ve not really heard a growth service do before. Lastly, we read on their site that you are put into an engagement pod to help boost your engagement on Instagram. This was corroborated by their support (which we’ll cover at the end of our review).
We Signed Up Before Deciding To Do An Upleap Review
Signing up was easy and took about a few seconds and we didn’t even plan on reviewing Upleap at the time. We were worried about setting up our account and talking to our account manager.
From what we can tell, Upleap streamline your sign up.
This means that you let your account manager know what your account is about and what types of followers you’re looking for:
- You let Upleap know what your account is about by providing a description
- Upleap lets you specify your hashtags for every account that you sign up.
- You also specify what accounts are similar to yours.
Adding Hashtags to Your Upleap Account
When we added hashtags — I was thinking… wait, what for? Why should I have to add hashtags if I’ve just provided a description of my account?
Then I realized you add relevant hashtags so that the account manager has a good starting point. I particularly cared about what types of posts we were liking (you know… protecting our brand identity). I ended up using very general hashtags like #socialmedia and #socialmediastrategy.
Upleap Review Results — 80 Followers To 3000 Followers
We spent a good four months using their service on one of our test accounts, which had a meager 80 followers before we started. Within 3 months, we’d gone from 80 followers to over 3000 followers.
I for one was incredibly happy with these numbers because for the most part, account engagement skyrocketed, and I’d say about 90% of our followers were real. While there were a few bots following us, I did actively “purge” them by blocking. Here’s a snapshot of what our dashboard looked like.
Now, you’ll notice a few things:
- I only posted 2 photos
- Growth was pretty consistent on a daily basis
That said, posting 2 photos in a timespan of 3 months is really bad on my part. I think with good content we would’ve seen even better growth. But it was a test account for the purpose of an Upleap review. And I did rush the little content that we pushed out. Also, we did a few Instagram stories and a live video.
Growth was consistent, but there were one or two days where we lost a few followers. This is because some people follow/unfollow regularly, so we did expect this to happen.
