Pro Tips

1

Mix hashtag sizes

Combine large (1M+), medium (100K-1M), and niche (10K-100K) hashtags. Niche hashtags help you rank; large ones provide reach.

2

Rotate hashtag sets

Don't use the same hashtags on every post. Rotate 3-5 different sets to avoid being flagged as spam by Instagram.

3

Place hashtags strategically

Put hashtags in the caption or first comment — both work for discoverability. Test which approach gets you better reach.
