Branded vs. generic hashtags

Branded hashtags are unique to your business (e.g. #YourBrandName, #YourCampaign). Use them to build community and track user-generated content. Create one or two and include them consistently.

Generic hashtags are industry-wide terms (e.g. #marketing, #fitness). They provide discovery but carry more competition. Mix 2 to 3 generic with 3 to 5 niche-specific tags for the best balance.

Hashtag research tips

Check the volume of each hashtag before using it. On Instagram, tap a hashtag to see how many posts use it. Avoid hashtags with over 10 million posts unless your account already has strong engagement.

Study your competitors. Look at which hashtags high-performing accounts in your niche use consistently. Build sets of 10 to 15 hashtags that you rotate across posts to avoid being flagged for repetitive behavior.

Track performance. Use native analytics or a scheduling tool to see which hashtag sets drive the most reach and engagement. Drop underperformers and test new ones every two weeks.

Platform-specific tips

Instagram: Mix broad and niche hashtags. Place them in the first comment to keep captions clean.
TikTok: Use trending hashtags mixed with niche ones. Keep the total under 5 for best reach.
LinkedIn: Keep it professional. Use industry-specific hashtags and avoid overly casual tags.
Twitter/X: Less is more on Twitter. One or two relevant hashtags outperform a wall of tags.
YouTube: Use hashtags in the description. Only the first three appear above the title.
