Which Instagram Hashtags should you be using to increase your post’s reach and engagement?

Research your target audience

Most experts out there say that you need not use the most popular hashtags, as that may not result in getting you in front of the target audience that you want to attract. Better strategy is to do a proper research to find what hashtags would serve your target audience’s needs. What might they be searching for? Create content that addresses your tribe’s pain points and then use hashtags to help them find the content that can solve that pain point for them.

Know what your competitors are doing.

The other factor to consider in a strategic use of Instagram hashtags is to research your competitors. A smart way would be for you to see what some of the biggies in your specific business segment are using. They probably have spent lots of money on doing research on finding the right hashtags that get the most engagement! You can be smart by leveraging on their strategy and simply emulate them. We are not recommending that you copy them blindly. Instead use them to find out what kind of content gets maximum traction and then carve your content to meet the needs of your target audience following some of the cues and ideas you will pick from them.

Know what the top influencers are doing.

It would serve you well to look at what some of the top influencers are doing in terms of hashtag and content strategy. They have millions of followers because they know what works on these platforms. They earn a living from being an influencer, so their lives depend on getting maximum traction for the content they post for the brands who pay them!  Look for the influencers in your business niche or category to find out what kind of content and #hashtags are working for them.
