How to Pick Hashtags For Your Posts

For anyone trying to build up a successful and engaged Instagram account, hashtags are a known necessity. However, there’s not too much out there to guide you on how to pick Instagram hashtags, the right way. We’ve seen countless strategies – from groups of hashtags saved in the ‘notes’ sections of phones that are used over and over again, to spontaneous making up of hashtags with each new post.

The hashtags you use will have an impact on what type of account and content you post, and Instagram will use this to categorize your account to show your content to the correct people!

By using hashtags in your posts, you can reach untapped audiences on Instagram who may be interested in your content, product or services.

You can use hashtags on feed posts, story posts and within your Instagram bio. Every post you create can be accompanied by up to 30 hashtags to help your content get discovered.

You also want to be using hashtags that have a similar ‘average likes’ to the average number of likes you receive on your content.

By activating suggested filters when making your searches, Flick will automatically remove hashtags that you aren’t likely to ‘rank’ on. We’ll also never suggest any banned or flagged hashtags that could affect the health of your Instagram account – we bet you didn’t know #tbt is actually a ‘banned’ hashtag.

Finally, we want to share with you how you should map out your strategy when it comes to how to pick Instagram hashtags for your posts that should hopefully get your account up to scratch.
