FAQs
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. However, research suggests 3-5 relevant hashtags perform better than maxing out at 30. Quality over quantity is key.
How many hashtags should I use on Twitter?
Twitter recommends 1-2 hashtags per tweet. Tweets with 1-2 hashtags get 21% more engagement than those with 3+. More hashtags can look spammy and reduce engagement.
Does capitalization matter in hashtags?
Hashtags are case-insensitive (#Travel = #travel), but using capital letters improves readability. Use #TravelPhotography instead of #travelphotography for accessibility and clarity.
What makes a good hashtag?
Good hashtags are: relevant to content, specific but searchable, mix of popular and niche tags, consistent with brand, not too long. Avoid banned or spammy hashtags. Research competitors and trending tags in your niche.
Can hashtags contain numbers and special characters?
Hashtags can include numbers (#2024trends) but cannot include spaces or special characters (!, $, %, &, etc.). Underscores work (#travel_tips) but hyphens break hashtags into multiple tags.
Should I put hashtags in comments or captions?
On Instagram, both work equally for reach. Captions look cleaner in feeds, comments hide hashtags from immediate view. Test both approaches. On Twitter, hashtags must be in the tweet itself to work.
