Maximizing Instagram Hashtags in 2023: A Comprehensive Guide for Marketers
In the world of Instagram marketing, hashtags are a must-have for brands and influencers who want to get in front of more users on the platform. With Instagram’s 2023 update, it's more important than ever to use hashtags strategically to reach your target audience and boost engagement.
But, why do Instagram hashtags matter? Hashtags can help businesses and influencers boost their reach, build brand awareness, and track user-generated content (UGC). Additionally, hashtags can add personality to your brand, boost engagement, and give you a unique trend to share with your followers.
So, how much do Instagram hashtags actually matter? Although they are just one piece of your overall Instagram marketing strategy, they can help you gain traction and find the right audience for your posts. It's essential to select and include them strategically to get the maximum benefit from them.
Here's a comprehensive guide on how to use Instagram hashtags effectively to enhance your brand's presence on the platform.
How Many Instagram Hashtags Should You Use?
According to Instagram's Creators account, users should stick to a 3-5 hashtag limit in captions. However, Instagram lets you include up to 30 hashtags in your post captions. Research from Statista indicates that using 2-4 hashtags on your Instagram posts gets the highest engagement rate of 3.41% on average.
But, it's essential to switch it up and experiment with what works for your brand. Some brands on Instagram prefer to use one or two hashtags per caption, while others use up to the full 30-hashtag limit.
How to Find Great Instagram Hashtags to Include In Your Post
To find great hashtags to use in your posts and Stories, follow these steps:
Develop a list of topics related to your brand that align with your target audience's interests and needs.
Use hashtag tools, such as Hashtagify or Later, to research popular hashtags within those topics. Only choose hashtags that are frequently used by users on Instagram.
Look at the hashtags that your competitors and other similar brands are using, and consider incorporating them into your strategy if they fit with your brand and audience.
Create your own branded hashtags to build brand awareness and track user-generated content related to your brand. Additionally, create campaign-specific hashtags for special events, challenges, giveaways, or product launches.
By using these steps, you can create a list of strategic hashtags that will help you target the audience you want to reach and boost engagement.
Final Thoughts
Instagram hashtags are an essential tool for Instagram advertising and influencer marketing in 2023. When used strategically and thoughtfully, they can help you boost your reach, build brand awareness, and track user-generated content. It's also essential to create high-quality Instagram visuals to maximize the impact of your hashtags.
