When people first start using Instagram, they often believe that ‘Hashtags’ are useless, but they are not! Hashtags are very important in the Instagram world because they automatically place your content in the bucket list of the hashtag bank you use, making it easy for others to discover your Instagram profile.

Using the right hashtags on Instagram will increase your visibility and attract the right audience without even boosting your posts. Most importantly, use hashtags that are relevant to the style of your post. If you use a non-related hashtag to your post, you might get a view but won’t reach the right target audience and your profile won’t have great interactions, which is a great measure of popularity on the social media app. 

3Use Trending Audio for Reels
