Organic Instagram growth · Australia & New Zealand
Grow your Instagram with real people near you. Not bought followers.
Pleno is an organic Instagram growth service for Australian businesses and creators, run by a Madrid-based agency since 2015. From your account, we follow, like and watch the stories of people who follow accounts in your city and niche that you suggest or approve; they discover your profile and decide for themselves whether to follow you. It costs €99 a month, with no EU VAT added for Australian clients (about A$161 on 13 November 2026), no contract and no automatic billing.

The problem
Why growing on Instagram in Australia is harder than it looks
A big country, small local audiences
A café in Fitzroy doesn’t need followers in Perth. Australia’s cities are far apart and local businesses live on their own area, so growth helps most when it reaches the people who can actually walk in, book or buy.
Hashtags are crowded
Tags like #sydney or #melbournefood carry millions of posts. A new post from a small business sinks fast, which is why waiting to be discovered rarely works on its own.
Ads stop when the budget stops
Paid ads can bring visits, but the day you stop paying they stop too. Follower packages from overseas are worse: the number goes up and the people who matter never see you.
How it works
How we grow Australian accounts
- 01
We map your local audience
You tell us your suburb or city, your niche and the accounts relevant to your customers: competitors, local favourites, neighbouring businesses. You suggest or approve the accounts we start from.
- 02
We work around your audience’s local time
From your account, we follow, like and watch the stories of the people who follow those accounts. The work follows your audience’s day in Australia, not ours in Madrid.
- 03
Track your follower growth
Followers day by day, who you gained and who you lost with dates, the work done and your account status, open 24 hours. If a source isn’t bringing the right people, we change it.

Pricing
How much does it cost in Australian dollars?
€99 a month, with no EU VAT added for Australian clients. That was about A$161 on 13 November 2026. We bill in euros, so the amount in Australian dollars depends on the exchange rate applied by PayPal or your bank.
You can pay by PayPal, which also takes cards and converts from AUD, or by international bank transfer, in which case your bank may charge its own fees. There’s no contract and no automatic billing: every month we email you, and if you want to keep going, you pay. See the full pricing page.

Where we work
Which Australian areas can we focus on?
These examples show how we’d discuss your audience; they aren’t Australian case studies. Tell us where your customers come from and suggest relevant local accounts, and we agree the list with you before starting.
- Coffee lovers in Fitzroy
- Wellness in Bondi
- Brunch in New Farm
- Surfers on the Gold Coast
- Wine lovers in the Adelaide Hills
- Families in Parramatta
- Foodies in Fremantle
Sydney
Surry Hills, Newtown, Bondi, Manly, Parramatta. A yoga studio in Bondi grows from people who follow Eastern Suburbs wellness accounts, not the whole of Greater Sydney.
Melbourne
Fitzroy, Collingwood, Brunswick, South Yarra, St Kilda. Specialty coffee, vintage shops and restaurants live on their neighbourhood crowd, so that’s where we start.
Brisbane & Queensland
In Brisbane, think West End, Fortitude Valley or New Farm: gyms, brunch spots and beauty clinics start from people who follow similar places nearby. Serving the Sunshine Coast instead? We start from accounts there.
Gold Coast
Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise. Surf schools, cafés and clinics serve locals and a lot of visitors: tell us which matters more and we pick the starting accounts accordingly.
Perth & Western Australia
Fremantle, Subiaco, Leederville, Mount Lawley. Perth is a long way from the east coast, so we start from the areas your customers actually come from.
Adelaide
Norwood, Glenelg, the CBD and the Adelaide Hills, where wineries and restaurants grow from food and wine lovers in South Australia.
Canberra
Braddon, Kingston, Manuka. A smaller city, so we check before starting that there are enough local accounts to grow from.
Hobart & Tasmania
Salamanca, North Hobart, Launceston. For a tourism business, tell us whether your priority is locals or visitors and we choose the starting accounts with that in mind.
New Zealand
Auckland (Ponsonby, Parnell) and Wellington (Cuba Street, Te Aro): same method, same €99 a month, paid in euros and converted by PayPal or your bank.
We select target accounts with you, so many new followers tend to be local, but we can’t guarantee where every follower lives. Instagram is global.
Support hours
When can you reach us from Australia?
We answer on WhatsApp, by phone and by email every day, holidays included, from 7:00 to midnight Madrid time. In Australia that means your late afternoon, evening and early morning; the table shows the local hours for November 2026.
| Where you are | We’re available (local time, November) |
|---|---|
| Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart (AEDT) | 5:00 pm to 10:00 am the next day |
| Brisbane, Gold Coast (AEST) | 4:00 pm to 9:00 am the next day |
| Adelaide (ACDT) | 4:30 pm to 9:30 am the next day |
| Perth (AWST) | 2:00 pm to 7:00 am the next day |
| Auckland, Wellington (NZDT) | 7:00 pm to 12:00 pm (noon) the next day |
These times apply in November 2026, when Madrid is on CET (UTC+1). They change by an hour when Spain or your state changes its clocks; Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory don’t use daylight saving. The work on your account doesn’t depend on our hours: it follows your audience’s day.
FAQ
Questions from Australian businesses
Do you work with businesses in Australia?
Yes. Pleno is an organic Instagram growth service based in Madrid that works with businesses and creators in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart and regional Australia, as well as New Zealand. It costs €99 a month, about A$161 on 13 November 2026, with no contract and no automatic billing.
Can you target my city or my suburb?
Yes, as a starting point. We use accounts linked to your city or suburb that you suggest or approve (in Surry Hills, Fitzroy or New Farm, for example), or open up to a whole state if you sell online. Following a local account doesn’t prove someone lives nearby, so we can’t guarantee where every new follower lives.
Can you help a Sydney restaurant attract local Instagram followers?
Yes. We start from Sydney food accounts and nearby businesses that you suggest or approve, in your suburb and the areas your diners come from. People decide whether to follow your restaurant; we can’t guarantee their location, bookings or sales, and this plan doesn’t include creating posts or running ads.
How do I pay from Australia?
We bill €99 a month in euros. You can pay with PayPal, which accepts cards and converts from AUD, or by international bank transfer. No EU VAT is added for clients outside the EU, and there’s no automatic billing: you pay each month only if you want to continue.
What hours can I reach you?
Every day, holidays included, from 7:00 to midnight Madrid time: in November that’s 5 pm to 10 am the next day in Sydney and Melbourne, 4 pm to 9 am in Brisbane and 2 pm to 7 am in Perth. The work on your account follows Australian hours.
Will my followers be Australian?
We start from accounts in your Australian city and niche that you suggest or approve, so many new followers tend to be local, but we can’t guarantee anyone’s location or the proportion of Australian followers. You can see every new follower in your panel, and if a source brings the wrong people, we change it.
How many followers will I get per month?
Our average is around 390 a month and our usual range is 300 to 800–900, depending on your content and niche. It’s not a guarantee, and we won’t promise a thousand followers in your first month.
Do you need access to my account? Is it safe?
Yes, we need access, because the interactions come from your account. Before starting we explain the process, the security measures and how to remove our access on a call. No service can guarantee that Instagram will never restrict an account. Pleno is independent of Instagram and Meta, and we never sell followers or use fake accounts.
Do you work with New Zealand too?
Yes, with the same method and the same €99 a month, paid in euros. In November we’re available from 7 pm to noon the next day, New Zealand time.
Is there an audience for your business in Australia?
Send us your Instagram account, your niche and your city. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
