Have you created an intentional hashtag strategy?

Whilst much is made of trending hashtags, don’t be afraid to create and consistently use your own. After all, who better to create hashtags that truly represent your offering than you!

Whilst Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags in any one post, using too many will dilute your message and prove counterproductive. An ideal strategy is to use around 10-12 hashtags across all platforms: having a mix of your own, consistent hashtags, and the more fluid, trending, or relevant hashtags.

Remember, the point of a hashtag is to identify digital content on a specific topic, this gives you the opportunity to increase your reach and for your content to appear in front of people who don’t follow you yet – a win as far as we’re concerned!
