The toolkit

Six instruments. One honest read on your growth.

Every screen answers a question you actually have — and shows the evidence behind the answer. No vanity dashboards, no inflated numbers.

01 / PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS

See which posts pull their weight.

Every post and Reel scored on reach, engagement rate, saves and shares — normalized against your own baseline so you compare like for like.

  • Content Score blends reach, ER, saves & watch-through
  • Sort by top-reach, top-engagement, or worst performers
  • Per-post “why did this work” breakdown

02 / HASHTAG LAB

Stop guessing your hashtags.

Each tag scored on reach potential, competition and fit — with a weekly quota meter so you never burn your 30-tag-per-7-day allowance on dead weight.

  • Status badges: rising, saturated, niche, risky
  • A recommended 5-hashtag set, ready to copy
  • Weekly quota meter keeps you within limits

03 / AI GROWTH COACH

Exactly what to do next — with the receipts.

The coach reads your data and hands you specific, ranked actions. Each one shows the evidence, a confidence score, and an honest signal when the data is too thin to trust.

  • Evidence + confidence on every recommendation
  • Strong-data / weak-data honesty signal
  • Track each action: to-do → trying → worked

FAQ

The questions skeptics ask first.

Is this compliant with Instagram's rules?
Yes — completely. Dotly connects through the official Instagram Graph API for Business and Creator accounts. There's no scraping, no automation, and no bots. We only read the insights Instagram makes available, and you can revoke access at any time.
Will you ever fabricate or estimate metrics?
Never. If a number isn't available from the API, we show an honest “not available” state instead of guessing. When a recommendation is based on thin data, we label it with a weak-data signal so you know how much to trust it.
Do I need a Business or Creator account?
Yes. The official API only exposes insights for Business and Creator accounts. Switching is free and takes about a minute in the Instagram app — we'll walk you through it during setup.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can disconnect and request full deletion at any time from Settings or our data-deletion page. We remove your stored insights within 30 days and confirm by email.

Stop guessing. Start growing on evidence.

Connect your account and get your first evidence-backed move in under two minutes.
