  • [Instagram] How many bigger or smaller hashtags should I use in my posts?

    Posted by seohelper on August 26, 2020 at 2:30 pm

    I have just over 800 followers and currently I use:

    * 2 tags with >500K posts
    * 10 tags with >100K posts
    * 5 with >50K posts
    * 2 with hardly any posts (self-branded hashtags)

    Is this good or should I change it up a bit?

    I’ve made a list of both the tags that I regularly use and others that I could / might use and their sizes which I would link but Rule 3 exists so I can’t (although I did post this on r/ instagram with the link there)

    I read on some site that it’s best to have 1 brand tag, 1 industry + 1 content tag, 1 location tag, 6 large tags and 20 smaller tags. (Although I’d rather not hit the 30 tag limit)

    How many hashtags of different sizes should I use in my hashtag sets?

    The principle for me goes:

    – 8 tags with <1 Million posts
    – 10 tags with 250,000-1 Million posts
    – 10 tags with >100,000 posts
    – 2 self branded tags

    Your hashtag strategy looks fine. As I’ve said, these are principles and unfortunately there isn’t a one size fits all.

    Where are you getting your hashtags from?

    Why you stopping at 19 tags? I’m not a fan of tags (read my post on hashtags to know why) but if you’re going to use it then go for maximum

    We are trying different tools and research methods for ## and nothing worked. Our profile literally reaches 0-10 people from hashtags… What should we do?
