Does IP location matter for Instagram?

Hi BHW,

I want to create a new Instagram account and grow it organically for Onlyfans promotion. I'm thinking of using mobile data to be as natural as possible for insta application (quality IP, mobile card added to phone, account created with phone number).

But I'm worried about one thing. For example, my IP is from Bulgaria. Will I be able to be seen by people from the US? Or should I use a 4G mobile US proxy? I want to focus on the US audience.

During warm-up, I will interact with as much American content as possible from my niche by searching hashtags in explore.

This question also applies to TikTok.

use 4G proxy, and start with a warm up period of limited actions before going full throttle in 20-22 days.

yeah ip location can help a bit but it is not the main thing because content or hashtags and engaging with US users matter more and also focus on building a real audience in your niche.

use 4G mobile US proxy and also US number. Not your local number.

a US based mobile proxy would give you a better start for targeting American audiences on both platforms. the strategy of engaging heavily with US niche content during warmup helps train the algorithm regardless of IP but starting with a US IP removes that friction from day one.
