Unlike most of our competitors, we do not sell you fake followers. We’ve spent years developing specialized marketing techniques to help you see real, targeted growth with genuine, active followers – so yes, your followers are real.

Our service is completely hands-free and is fully-managed by your growth specialist – this means they are monitoring your campaign and continuously optimizing your targets to ensure that your growth is maximized. Therefore, we do not currently provide access to a dashboard.

However, if you’d like to make any changes to your account or your targets, or if you’d like to see a snapshot of your results to see how well your campaign has been performing, our growth specialists are on standby and can help you with any of these requests.

Yes – you may use your Instagram account as you normally would while using SocialUpgrade. However, your growth specialists work hard to ensure that your account is performing the necessary actions to maximize your growth, therefore, we recommend that you keep your own engagement (liking a lot of photos) to a minimum, allowing our team to maintain a safe level of engagement for you.

Yes – you may set your account to private. If we find that your privacy is affecting your growth, we may suggest to switch to a public profile. But this is on a case by case basis and typically private accounts do not affect your performance while using SocialUpgrade.

Absolutely not. The followers you gain as a result of using SocialUpgrade are real and follow you because they are genuinely interested in your content. They will not disappear when you stop using SocialUpgrade.

If you want to cancel your subscription, simply send an email to: hello@socialupgrade.co with your request. We will respond to your inquiry within 24 hours.

As a reminder, your service will continue until the end of your billing cycle. For example, if your billing cycle ends on the 31st, but you sent a cancellation request on the 15th, even though your subscription will be terminated on the 15th, you will continue to see growth until the 30th. If you’d like to stop the service immediately, please ask your growth specialist to do so.

If you are billed after you sent your cancellation request email, it’s possible that support has not yet processed your cancellation request. Therefore, we will process a refund on any additional billing after you sent your cancellation request.

Yes – you may pause your subscription at any time. Simply send an email to: hello@socialupgrade.co and ask your growth specialist to pause your campaign for you. This is a great option if you’d like to keep your targets and account information ready for when you’d like to restart your campaign in the future.

You can upgrade or downgrade your account at anytime. Simply send an email to: hello@socialupgrade.co and one of our growth specialists will be happy to help.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with our service within 30 days of signing up, contact us for a full refund – no questions asked.
