Instagram Hashtag Best Practices

As Instagram continues to evolve, so do the strategies for maximizing your reach and engagement through hashtags. In 2024, it's more important than ever to stay updated with the latest trends and algorithm changes to ensure your content gets the visibility it deserves.

One of the key practices is to diversify your hashtags. Using a mix of popular, moderately popular, and niche-specific hashtags can help you reach different segments of Instagram users. Popular hashtags can give your content a quick boost, while niche hashtags ensure that your posts are discovered by those truly interested in your content's subject matter.

Another essential tip is to rotate your hashtags regularly. Instagram's algorithm is keen on promoting fresh content, and using the same set of hashtags repeatedly might reduce your post's visibility over time. Experiment with different combinations, and keep an eye on which hashtags are performing well in your analytics.

When crafting your hashtag strategy, be sure to research trending hashtags in your industry or niche. Keeping up with the latest trends can help you tap into current conversations and gain more visibility. Tools like Flick’s hashtag generator can make this process easier by suggesting trending and relevant hashtags tailored to your content.

It’s also vital to include branded hashtags in your posts. Branded hashtags help build a sense of community around your brand and make it easier for your audience to find related content. Encourage your followers to use your branded hashtags in their own posts to amplify your reach organically.

Lastly, consider the placement of your hashtags. While some prefer placing them directly in the caption, others find success by adding them in the first comment. Test both approaches to see which one results in better engagement for your posts.By following these best practices and continuously adapting to the ever-changing Instagram landscape, you'll be well-positioned to grow your presence and reach your target audience in 2024.

What is an Instagram Hashtag Generator?

An Instagram hashtag generator tool analyzes your input, like keywords, hashtags, or a photo, and suggests relevant hashtags to increase your post's visibility and engagement. The primary goal is to help you find relevant hashtags, save time, and increase performance. Flick's Instagram Hashtag Generator is a great choice for marketers, business owners, and creators looking to grow their reach.

Why use Hashtags on Instagram?

Hashtags are Instagram’s way of categorizing content. Much like you might search a keyword on Google when you want to find a specific article or image, you can search by hashtags on Instagram to find a specific piece of content. They act like folders on your desktop and help tell Instagram exactly what is in your photo or video and what niche it might fit into. This, in turn, helps the platform to suggest content to the type of people who may be interested in that topic (through feeds, Reels, and explore pages) and also allows users to find and search for content they want to see on the platform.

Using hashtags not only makes your content more searchable but also more discoverable. You can go deeper and learn a little more about how hashtags are deeply embedded in Instagram’s algorithm in this article. Hashtags help users grow on Instagram if they rank on a hashtag. Ranking on a hashtag means that you appear in the top section of the most popular posts in that hashtag, and so your content is seen by people who search for it or is suggested by Instagram to users who are interested in topics similar to that hashtag.

How many hashtags to use on Instagram?

You can use a maximum of 30 hashtags on any given post. There are a few myths floating around communities online that suggest you should use 11 or 15 hashtags on a post for the best growth, but as hashtag experts (yes, we have created that profession) we can safely say that myth is busted.

You should use a maximum of 30 hashtags on your posts. Why? Because that’s 30 more chances to perform well (or rank) on a hashtag, and 30 more chances to be discovered by someone searching for content. There’s no reason not to take every opportunity Instagram gives you, so we always suggest you use the maximum number of hashtags on your posts.
