Hashtags or tags are words or phrases preceded by the # sign, without spaces or special characters. They function as hyperlinks and are used to classify the content that is published on social networks.
With these tags, there is more interaction between the content and other users interested in the topic. For example, if you use the hashtag #Love in multiple posts, whenever you click on it, you’ll see those same posts plus others from public accounts that have used the same hashtag.
Hashtags give visibility to social media posts. That is why your brand should use labels to promote a campaign or special event. To find out which ones to use, ask yourself: what word or words could my audience search for my content with? This will help you get your keywords.
They are used in all social networks today, but since last year, Instagram has taken radical actions regarding false activity and elimination of spam accounts and focused its attention on all those hashtags that will penalize during 2019.
Any post that contains these hashtags runs the risk of being intentionally hidden from in-app searches and search section.
Here are some examples of hashtags that you should not use. Some are temporary blocks, others cause shadowban (Instagram account in a dead time period for the rest of users) and others – if they are used repeatedly – place you on the internal list of spammers.
