“GRO added 100,000 email subscribers in a year when I lost 60% of my Google traffic.”
Before GRO, building my email list from Instagram felt complicated and slow. Now it’s seamless. I use “comment for DM” and “save to email” to turn followers into subscribers automatically, without sending them to landing pages or waiting for manual replies.
In 2024 alone, I added over 100,000 new subscribers and now see 250,000+ monthly pageviews from email alone. GRO gave me peace of mind, consistent traffic, and more time to focus on creating.

Forget configuring a new automation every time you post a Reel. With GRO, you can set it and forget it. Our automations are built around your workflow — so you can spend less time tinkering and more time creating and selling (or editing, or posting, or enjoying lunch).
Most creators save 10–15 minutes per post after switching to GRO.
Simplicity that saves you time
Grow your email list without sending people off instagram
Our Save to Email feature turns every DM into a list-building opportunity. Your followers can save the link right to their inbox with one click — and you get the email address, synced directly to your ESP like Flodesk or Kit or Mailchimp or Klaviyo or Mailer Lite.
Visual by default leads to 70% Click Through Rates
By incorporating visuals into every DM, CTR goes through the roof. It shouldn’t be complicated to make your DMs look stunning.
Post level analytics
While ManyChat focuses on keyword-level analytics (cool, but not helpful when you're running 5 posts a week), we give you post-level insights so you can see which posts are crushing it.
Bonus: we integrate directly with GA4, MediaVine, and Raptive.
Sales with each click
GRO isn’t just about traffic and engagement — it’s about helping you sell more. Features like:
Amazon Deep Links: Send affiliate traffic straight to the Amazon app (no logins, no drop-offs)
Are designed to turn your audience into income with no extra effort.
Real support from real people
Get live chat, phone support, and white-glove onboarding — including ManyChat migration, where we import your automations for you.
