*Followers: When you create a widget with the followers metric, Instagram's API does not give us access to the historical data for a past period. As a result of this, your data will be displayed as a 0 at the time the widget is created.

All of these metrics, except Likes and Comments, are available from the moment your Instagram page is considered a business account. Therefore, your data won’t be visible before you’ve made the switch from a personal page to a business account.
