Increase post discoverability
If you’re a part-time creator, you’ll need a refined search engine optimization (SEO) strategy to help your videos stand out. AI-generated hashtags improve your content visibility by helping search algorithms find and rank your videos. Improved SEO means your videos will appear higher in search results, making it easier for people to find them. By leveraging several distinct hashtags relevant to your content, you maximize your content discoverability and reach new viewers.
Create attention-grabbing Reels
With so much content for audiences to take in, quickly grabbing viewers’ interest is incredibly important. When used correctly, a well-placed hashtag or two can grab more attention than a wall of text. You can tag popular songs or artist names when you add music to your videos to piggyback on trends. Choose funny or memorable tags whenever possible. Tags that evoke strong emotions or quickly tell a story are best, as they help viewers instantly relate to your content.
Maximize engagement
Your primary goal as a creator should be to maximize viewer engagement with your content. Getting more likes, shares, and comments on your videos increases your reach, leading to more views. In addition to increasing engagement through enhanced discoverability, hashtags also make your content more accessible. When you add text to videos, you help people who are hard of hearing and viewers watching videos in public better understand your content, making them more likely to engage.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find the best hashtags for Instagram posts?
Until recently, creators primarily conducted keyword research to find the best hashtags for an Instagram post. For example, you can use the Instagram search function to find tags with significant usage or check out the Instagram Explore Page to find trendy tags. Many websites categorize videos using hashtag lists, and you can also follow relevant hashtags.
AI-generated hashtags do the hard part for you by researching and finding trending hashtags related to your content.
Can hashtags increase my engagement on Instagram?
Yes! When used appropriately, hashtags can significantly increase engagement on your Instagram posts. Relevant tags complement your post by increasing discoverability, drawing attention to keywords, and synthesizing video narratives into bite-sized text. Adding trending hashtags allows you to capitalize on viral challenges or topics, while encouraging followers to use your unique hashtags helps build brand visibility and loyalty. You can also create custom hashtags that viewers associate with your content — if a video goes viral, your custom tag may also gain popularity, creating positive feedback that drives more traffic and engagement.
How many hashtags should I use for optimal reach?
There’s no set number of hashtags you should use to optimize your reach on Instagram. Typically, it’s good to use up to 30 tags if your goal is to maximize reach. However, using too many tags can have downsides — excessive hashtags make posts look cluttered, which diminishes engagement. In general, using between five and 15 hashtags balances reach and engagement while keeping posts looking clean and polished. Ultimately, you should try different hashtag combinations and numbers to see what works best for your content.
Are hashtags effective for Instagram Stories and Reels?
While hashtags can benefit all social media content, you may see different results when you use tags on Instagram Stories as opposed to Reels. For example, you may get excellent visibility using tags on a Reel but less engagement using the same tags on a Story. This difference lies in the algorithms that generate search results and the content volume using those tags. That said, this shouldn’t dissuade you from using tags on your Instagram content, as even one tag is better than none. When you use relevant tags, you’ll nearly always see greater reach and engagement.
Is there a way to automate hashtag selection on Instagram?
Yes — Instagram’s autocomplete feature allows you to automate hashtag selection. When you type in the hashtag symbol on a post, Instagram will automatically suggest tags based on the first few letters after the tag symbol and the keywords in your caption. Once you use a hashtag, Instagram will save it so you can quickly add it to future content. Autocomplete also works in the Instagram Search feature, suggesting relevant hashtags similar to the text you type in the search bar.
Can Captions suggest hashtags for specific topics?
Captions’ AI-powered hashtag generator makes it easy to create hashtags tailored to your specific brand or niche. Whether you're sharing travel vlogs, fitness tips, fashion inspiration, or tech updates, the tool generates customized tags that align with your content and audience. Captions’ intuitive system analyzes your keywords and provides relevant, high-impact hashtags to boost your visibility and engagement. If the first set doesn’t fit your needs, you can generate new suggestions until you find the perfect match. Whether you’re promoting a product, launching an Instagram giveaway, or increasing engagement on a post, Captions ensures your hashtags are optimized for maximum reach.
