Instagram has rolled out another new feature.
You can now add multiple captions to carousel posts.
Before everyone panics…
It’s optional.
You can still post your carousel exactly the way you always have with one caption for the entire post.
Or you can choose to add captions to individual slides. You’ll see the option when creating a carousel via a dropdown underneath the image on the left-hand side.
My first thought was…
Creating one caption can be challenging enough for a lot of business owners.
Now we’re being given the option to create multiple.
That said, there could be some strategic value in this update.
As Instagram continues moving towards search, adding captions to individual slides may help give Instagram more context about what your content is about.
The way I’ll be testing it is simple.
I’ll write one caption, break it up into sections and add those sections throughout the carousel.
No extra writing required.
If using multiple captions is going to make you overthink your content, delay posting or create more work than value, skip it.
A post that gets published is always better than one that sits in drafts waiting to be perfect.
I’ll be testing this one over the next few weeks and watching the results closely.
What do you think? Will you be using it?
