A hashtag is a word, or a set of words, which is preceded by a hash and which allows content to be filtered according to very specific areas of interest. These are actually keywords that are used on social networks and in particular on Instagram. You can include them in your bio, in your caption, or even with the videos and photos you post. This “Instagram filter” will make it easier for the many users of the platform to access your content.
By regularly using hashtags, you will expose your services and products to a target audience. Hashtags also allow you to follow new trends, track your competition and increase traffic to your posts. And who says more traffic, also says more Instagramlikes and more interaction with your content.
The statistics available clearly show that posts that come with hashtags create a much higher engagement rate than posts that don’t. So what are you waiting for? In this article, you will discover among other things the popular hashtags on Instagram in 2021!
