Hashtags on Instagram?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every aspiring influencer knows that a stellar<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagram-hashtag-strategy-tips-to-have-your-reach-soar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hashtag strategy<\/a> can help catapult them to Instagram fame. Creators implement these strategies believing that their content will be pushed out to those who follow the hashtags they use. Sadly, there have been reports that soon, Instagram won\u2019t allow its users to follow hashtags anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that people can\u2019t follow hashtags anymore, why are they even needed? Why invest so much time into<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/hashtag-research-is-how-you-bring-the-followers-to-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hashtag research<\/a> to find the best tags in your niche?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the many benefits of using popular hashtags in your Instagram content today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It boosts content visibility<\/strong>: Hashtags categorize content on Instagram according to topic or niche. Then, the<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagrams-algorithm-beat-the-system-to-boost-visibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Instagram algorithm<\/a> delivers these posts to those interested in the topics aligned with the hashtags in their captions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It helps you reach a targeted audience<\/strong>: Even if millions of people see your content, if it\u2019s not relevant to them, it won\u2019t perform well. Using hashtags allows you to reach your specific<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagram-target-audience-your-community-is-waiting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> target audience<\/a>, helping your content drive more engagement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It increases likes and comments<\/strong>: Hashtags increase the number of people who see your content. And the more eyes you get on your posts, the more engagement they\u2019re likely to drive. That means more meaningful interactions, from likes to comments to saves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Tag Search 101: Finding the Best Hashtags on IG, image \u21162\" class=\"wp-image-8687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/walls-io-vO6dmS6WTb0-unsplash-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Do_Instagram_Tag_Search_Right_on_the_App\"><\/span><strong>How To Do Instagram Tag Search Right on the App<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencers trying to find the<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/how-to-find-the-best-hashtags-for-instagram-follower-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> best hashtags for Instagram<\/a> might assume they\u2019ll only find high-quality tags from third-party tools. Some might look for a free<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/free-hashtag-generator-tools-can-increase-your-visibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hashtag generator<\/a> online or maybe invest in expensive tools for tag research. But in reality, you can actually do it straight from the Instagram app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yup, you heard us right! You can use the in-app search box to do an Instagram search by tag. Here\u2019s how to do it, step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Instagram app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the search bar, type the \u201c#\u201d symbol. Then, type a topic you want to look for tags about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse through the recommended hashtags that appear in the results. These are typically the most popular hashtags related to your key topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take note of the ones you\u2019d like to use in future posts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also explore the posts under the hashtags you see to find even more tags related to your niche. It\u2019s an excellent way to discover more tags that don\u2019t start with the search query you typed in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Search_Multiple_Tags_on_Instagram\"><\/span><strong>Can You Search Multiple Tags on Instagram?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, no, you can\u2019t Instagram search multiple tags to find content that contains numerous tags you\u2019re interested in. You can only search one hashtag at a time and explore the posts under that tag. This limitation makes it more difficult to find posts combining two different topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Sneaky_Pro-Tip_How_To_Search_Multiple_Tags_on_Instagram_Through_Google\"><\/span><strong>A Sneaky Pro-Tip: How To Search Multiple Tags on Instagram Through Google<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you can\u2019t search for multiple tags on Instagram. But we\u2019re not going down without a fight! We\u2019ve found a sneaky hack to help you look for posts that use multiple specific tags. And for that, you can use the one and only Google search engine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re looking for content that contains both the hashtags #winter and #fashion. On Google search, simply type \u201csite:Instagram.com #fashion #winter.\u201d All the results that come up are Instagram posts that use both tags!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you search Instagram for multiple tags, you can get more inspo for posts that marries two topics together. It\u2019s an awesome way to look for content ideas when you need your creative juices to flow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Tag Search 101: Finding the Best Hashtags on IG, image \u21163\" class=\"wp-image-8688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash-24x14.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/shutter-speed-0uMU42uRw28-unsplash-48x27.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Using_Hashtags_on_Your_Instagram_Posts\"><\/span><strong>Tips for Using Hashtags on Your Instagram Posts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what tags to use in your Instagram content, it\u2019s time to implement your hashtag strategy. Want to make sure you do it without a hitch? Here are some of our most important tips to remember when you\u2019re choosing your tags per post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combine_Popular_and_Niche_Hashtags\"><\/span><strong>Combine Popular and Niche Hashtags<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular hashtags are great and all, especially for reaching as many people as possible. But using them means competing with millions of other influencers to show up in those tags\u2019 search results. So, balance it out with niche hashtags that are more specific and can target a smaller yet more pointed community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Overwhelm_Your_Audience_With_Too_Many_Tags\"><\/span><strong>Don\u2019t Overwhelm Your Audience With Too Many Tags<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use up to 30 hashtags per post, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should max it out! On the contrary, we recommend using just five to 10 tags per post. That way, your caption won\u2019t look cluttered, and you won\u2019t overwhelm your fans. Instead of stuffing your post with many generic tags, include a few ultra-relevant ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Tag Search 101: Finding the Best Hashtags on IG, image \u21164\" class=\"wp-image-8689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/pexels-diimejii-2696299-36x48.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Using_Banned_Hashtags_as_They_Can_Lower_Your_Posts_Visibility\"><\/span><strong>Avoid Using Banned Hashtags as They Can Lower Your Post\u2019s Visibility<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/banned-instagram-hashtags-heres-how-to-avoid-the-shadowban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> banned hashtags<\/a> on Instagram that are either inappropriate or propagate hate on the platform. When you use these tags, Instagram deprioritizes your content on the feed, lowering your visibility. Using them repetitively might even get you<a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagram-shadowban-removing-silent-censorship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> shadowbanned<\/a>! So, if you want high-performing posts with significant reach and engagement, avoid using these controversial hashtags at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hashtags_Are_a_Must_if_You_Want_to_Successfully_Grow_On_IG\"><\/span><strong>Hashtags Are a Must if You Want to Successfully Grow On IG<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashtags have been around for years, but they continue to be a game-changer for aspiring Instagram influencers. When you incorporate the right hashtags into your posts, you reach your target audience much easier. That means your content will be delivered to people who actually resonate with it. As a result, you get more engagement and followers for your page!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the first step to crafting the perfect hashtag strategy is by conducting a high-quality Instagram tag search. You can do this either through the platform\u2019s search bar or third-party hashtag generators. Whichever route you take, you\u2019ll find relevant hashtags that will lead more people to your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more ways to attract potential fans? Plixi can get the job done!
