Hashtag Strategy Guide
Why Use a Mix of Hashtags?
Using only popular hashtags means your content gets buried quickly. Using only niche hashtags limits your reach. The best strategy combines:
- Popular hashtags (30%) - High competition but maximum exposure
- Medium hashtags (40%) - Good balance of reach and competition
- Niche hashtags (30%) - Lower competition, more targeted audience
Hashtag Best Practices
- Instagram: Use up to 30 hashtags, but 20-25 is often optimal
- TikTok: Use 3-5 highly relevant hashtags
- Twitter/X: Use 1-2 hashtags maximum
- LinkedIn: Use 3-5 professional hashtags
Tips for Better Hashtag Results
- Research your competitors' hashtags for inspiration
- Avoid banned or spammy hashtags that could limit your reach
- Create a branded hashtag for your business or campaign
- Rotate your hashtags regularly to reach new audiences
- Place hashtags in the caption or first comment (both work on Instagram)
