What is the best Instagram hashtag strategy? ✍️
It’s important to use hashtags that will help you get the most engagement and reach for your content. Click here to find a breakdown of how to create an effective Instagram hashtag strategy. Here are a few rules for picking the perfect hashtags for Instagram:
1. Hashtags that are relevant
Do we sound like a broken record yet? Because honestly, we’re going to keep saying it over and over again—use relevant hashtags. The more descriptive and niche your hashtags are, the more likely your post will rank and reach new audiences. The thing with hashtags is if someone is searching for something on Instagram and you’re using the right hashtag, your content could be shown in the hashtag results.
2. Hashtags that are clever
Even though hashtags need to be relevant, you can still make them clever and interesting. Start thinking about descriptors like locations, brands, interests, and more.
3. Use a hashtag finder
Find and manage relevant hashtags for your posts, account size, interests, and more. A hashtag finder like Flick can help you find the perfect hashtags for your content.
