What to include in an Instagram monthly report

An Instagram report built on Porter’s templates has six parts, in the order a client or manager reads them, each covered by a template.

1

Account overview

Followers, reach, impressions and engagement rate against last month: Instagram dashboard and Instagram KPIs templates.

2

Posts and Reels

Your best posts and Reels by reach, saves and shares: post performance and Reels templates.

3

Stories

Story reach, replies and exits, to see which Stories people watch to the end: Stories template.

4

Followers and audience

New followers and who they are by age, gender and city: audience template.

5

Competitors

Followers and engagement rate next to rival accounts: Instagram competitors template.

6

Next steps

Two or three things to post more or less of next month, based on what worked.

Clients and leadership need the overview and the next steps; content teams also need the posts, Reels and Stories. For the other networks, use the social media report templates; for every channel by month, the monthly report templates.

How to set up an Instagram report template

Every Porter Instagram report template starts with one free step: connect your Instagram professional account in Porter. Then set it up in your reporting tool.

On Porter’s Free plan, Claude reads the last 15 days and Data Studio and Google Sheets up to 30 days. The 14-day trial has full access and needs no card (Porter pricing).

In Claude

  1. Sign up free at Porter, open Data sources and connect your Instagram professional (business or creator) account (Instagram to Claude connector).

  2. In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp and name it Porter Metrics. Click Continue, sign in to Porter and allow access.

  3. Open a new chat, paste the install prompt and put your account in place of the one in brackets (Instagram to Claude tutorial). Claude reads your data through Porter’s MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets Claude read data from other tools.

What makes these Instagram report templates different

Instagram’s own Insights tab shows one account at a time. Porter’s templates put the numbers in a report you can share, schedule and compare.

1

See a live example before you sign up

Click through the Claude Instagram report without an account, then decide.

2

No screenshots from the app

The report refreshes itself from Instagram, so the monthly report is ready without copying numbers.

3

One report, four tools

Explore it in Claude, send it as a Porter link, or keep it in Data Studio or Google Sheets.

4

Every client account in one place

Filter one report by account name to switch between the Instagram accounts you manage.

5

Monthly email on your logo

Email the report every month with your client’s branding and no Porter badge on paid plans.

Porter has a gallery for each network, report type and tool.

Instagram report template FAQ

Are these Instagram report templates free?

Yes. All 25 Porter Instagram report templates and prompts are free to download, and the Free plan never expires. Longer date ranges need the 14-day trial or a paid plan from $12.50 per account a month, billed annually (Porter pricing).

What is an Instagram analytics report?

An Instagram analytics report shows how an account grew and engaged over a period: followers, reach, impressions, engagement rate, and the posts, Reels and Stories behind them. Teams and agencies usually send it monthly.

What should an Instagram monthly report include?

Followers and reach against last month, the top posts, Reels and Stories, who your followers are, how you compare with competitors, and what to change next month. The monthly report templates cover the other channels.

Can I send the Instagram report to a client?

Yes. A Porter dashboard shares by link, PDF and scheduled email, and paid plans show your client’s branding with no Porter badge (Porter pricing). In Data Studio, use Share, Schedule delivery.

Is there an Instagram report template for Excel?

Yes. Copy a Google Sheets template, refresh it with your data, then choose File, Download, Microsoft Excel (.xlsx). The Excel file is a snapshot; the Sheets copy keeps refreshing.

Claude, Porter dashboard, Data Studio or Google Sheets: which should I use?

Use Claude to build the report and ask follow-up questions, but anyone opening a shared Claude dashboard needs their own Claude access (Anthropic’s guide to sharing artifacts). Use a Porter dashboard for client links and scheduled email, Data Studio if your reports live there, and Google Sheets for formulas or Excel.
