Instagram is rolling out a new update across its platform and this is one you won’t want to miss. Hashtags are being limited to just 3 from the original 30 per post and are no longer a reliable tool to boost reach! 🤯
If you’re not sure which hashtags to use moving forward use this quick guide to help you narrow it down:
1️⃣ Branded Hashtags - Establish a digital footprint for your business
Examples: #️⃣blabmedia #️⃣getyourblabon
2️⃣ Industry Hashtags - Help people understand what you’re offering so they can connect with you.
Examples: #️⃣smallbizowner #️⃣homebaker #️⃣skincarebrand
3️⃣ Location Hashtags - Allow you to connect with (and promote to) people who live nearby.
Examples: #️⃣windsoron #️⃣yqg #️⃣tecumsehontario
4️⃣ Topic Hashtags - Lets people know what your content is about so they know if it aligns with their interests.
Examples: #️⃣sustainableliving #️⃣buycanadian #️⃣shoplocal
