Still treating hashtags like an afterthought? 🤨 You’re leaving reach on the table.
Hashtags are still one of the strongest tools for discoverability in 2025—if used smartly. Here are the headline rules everyone needs in their hashtag strategy right now:
✨ Use about 20 hashtags per post when possible, mixing high‑volume, niche, and branded tags. These tend to yield higher reach. 
✨ Prioritize relevance & quality over sheer quantity. A few well‑chosen hashtags trumps many unrelated ones. 
✨ Combine different types of hashtags:
– Niche / descriptive tags (describing your content) 
– Industry or community tags 
– Location‑based tags when relevant 
– Branded tags to build your own community. 
✨ Consider using hashtags in either the caption or the first comment—both work. If using comments, post them immediately so they get registered the same way. 
✨ Regularly monitor performance: track which hashtags are bringing reach, saves, likes, and adapt your list accordingly. What works for one brand won’t necessarily work for another.
If you’re using hashtags already, it’s time to refine them ‼️
