Not ranking on Instagram hashtags? Although it may seem like youâve hit a bit of a wall â donât worry! You have actually just uncovered a potential area for improvement, and now have a benchmark that will help you start ranking.
Luckily, thereâs only a few things that could possibly be causing you to not rank, and all of them can be managed or fixed.
Common causes:
- The hashtags you are using are too competitive for your account
- The hashtags are not relevant enough to the post you have made
- You havenât given it enough time
- You have used banned or flagged hashtags
Not sure how to fix these issues, and improve your hashtag strategy? Weâll walk you through how to combat the common causes of your content failing to rank, so you can get your account back on track.
đAll of the steps listed below will be using our Analytics Suite.
Cause #3: You havenât given it enough time
If you have only used the hashtag a few times, and havenât seen results yet â try to give it more time. Itâs unlikely that you will rank on a hashtag every single time you post on it. Most of the time you will rank around 30%-70% of the time if that hashtag is working well for you, so you should post using a single hashtag enough times to see initial results â we recommend at least 4 times per hashtag.
