How should you go about using your hashtags on your Instagram posts and campaigns? We partnered up with Quuu to find out. Reading this study, you'll discover: - How most brands use their Instagram hashtags to get followers - How many hashtags should brands use - If hiding hashtags in the caption or in the comment works Here are some of the findings: 📌 Brands place hashtags in the caption, but engagement is also affected by the number of hashtags and the size of your Instagram profile. 📌Posts with 27-30 hashtags do not bring peak engagement. 📌Profiles up to 100k followers have a better Reach Rate when using hashtags in the caption. 📌Profiles with more than 100k followers have a better Reach Rate when posting their hashtags in comments. Find out key insights that can strengthen your Instagram campaign strategies!
