✨What makes really good Instagram Captions in 2025??
Well, people want realness- but with a touch of your personality. If this is for your small business, it is the same but instead it would be your brands personality/image.

Match the vibes of the photo or reel you are posting
Shows your personality - you do you
Encourage interactions- questions are great, or even ask for feedback
Use emojis to add tone! - you can overdo this, so make sure it is your thing
