You're leaving growth on the table. Here's what Instagram isn't telling you — until now.

Most B2B SaaS marketers are still flying blind on Instagram. They know their post got 400 likes. They have zero idea why it got them 12 new followers and their last one got them zero. That changes in 2026.

Meta just quietly shipped the biggest Instagram Insights update in the platform's history — and it's free. In this episode, we break down exactly what changed, what it means for B2B SaaS growth, and how to use the new AI features in Threads to hack your way into the right audience without spending a dime on ads.

What we cover:

— Instagram Insights 2026: post-level follower attribution, precise engagement timing, per-slide carousel data, and new-follower demographics (not your existing audience — the people actually showing up)

— Dear Algo on Threads: Meta's new AI feed feature that lets you literally tell the algorithm what to show you — and how smart B2B marketers are using it to build niche authority and find partnership opportunities

— AI Interaction Summaries: the Threads beta feature that's quietly changing how people discover and vet accounts — and what it means for your positioning

— Head-to-head breakdown: Instagram Insights vs. Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Buffer, Iconosquare, and Metricool — when free wins and when it doesn't

— Real results: how a B2B SaaS account grew their target audience from 35% to 68% of new followers in 6 weeks using Enhanced Demographics alone

— A repeatable playbook that took one brand from 0.7% to 2.1% monthly follower growth — no paid spend involved

Whether you're a solo SaaS founder, a marketing manager at a scale-up, or running social for an agency — this episode gives you the exact framework to stop guessing and start growing with data.
