What should I ask a company building my Instagram farm?

Ask whether accounts create and warm themselves unattended, whether banned accounts are replaced automatically, who holds your credentials, whether you own anything at the end, and how the fleet is ramped.

Seven questions that separate a built system from a rebranded remote control tool.

1. Can it create an account with nobody watching? If a person has to do it, your headcount does not change.
2. Does it warm accounts automatically, and how does it vary behaviour? A fixed random offset is not variation.
3. What happens when an account is banned? Automatic replacement in hours, or a person noticing in days.
4. Who can see my logins, and is access logged? Credential sprawl is the quiet risk in this business.
5. Can managers be scoped to specific creators? Important in any agency with turnover.
6. Do I own anything at the end? Rental means paying forever and owning nothing.
7. How is the fleet ramped? If the answer is "we deploy it all at once", walk away. Ban rate can only be learned by measuring in stages.
