How To Research Hashtags On Instagram

So what is a hashtag?

A hashtag is a word that comes preceded by a hash symbol (#) and is used within a message to enable others to identify or relate to the subject on which the message refers to. People can also search messages based on hashtags. It also helps the social media channels to easily index the messages.

Why hashtagging is so important?

Hashtagging is a great way in aggregating your images and also take your content to the next level. Appropriate tagging by associating your content with trending topics will help in having your content across a larger audience. Apart from tagging your content, your brand also needs a unique hashtag. Most of the companies use their company name or brand name as their hashtag. If your company is Sheldon Resorts, then your hashtag should be #sheldonresorts, not #sresorts or #sheldons etc., your hashtag should say a lot about yourself.

It is being said that messages that use hashtags have a chance of gaining 12%-13% of more engagement than messages without hashtags. Hashtags are really powerful when it comes to social media as they can assist you in taking your messages to a wider audience and also increase your followers along with creating more engagement with your followers.
