Cause #3: You havenât given it enough time
If you have only used the hashtag a few times, and havenât seen results yet â try to give it more time. Itâs unlikely that you will rank on a hashtag every single time you post on it. Most of the time you will rank around 30%-70% of the time if that hashtag is working well for you, so you should post using a single hashtag enough times to see initial results â we recommend at least 4 times per hashtag.
