Frequently Asked Questions

How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but studies show that 5-15 highly targeted hashtags often perform better than maxing out at 30. Focus on a mix of popular (100K-500K posts), moderately popular (10K-100K posts), and niche hashtags specific to your content for the best reach.

Do hashtags still work on social media in 2025?

Yes, hashtags are still effective when used strategically. On Instagram, they help categorize content for the Explore page. On LinkedIn, they increase post discoverability. On Twitter/X, they help join trending conversations. The key is using relevant, specific hashtags rather than generic ones like #love or #instagood.

Should I use the same hashtags on every post?

No, using the exact same hashtags on every post can be flagged as spammy behavior by algorithms, especially on Instagram. Create 3-5 different hashtag groups for different content types and rotate them. Keep a few branded hashtags consistent, but vary the rest based on each post's specific topic.
