How to Find the Best Hashtags for Growth

To find the best hashtags for growth in 2025, prioritize a mix of 3-5 broad industry tags (high volume) and 10-15 specific niche tags (low volume). This "ladder strategy" ensures you rank for smaller topics while competing for larger ones, ultimately driving more targeted traffic to your posts.

Effective Hashtag Strategy for 2025

Mix Popular & Niche Tags: Don't just use #Love (2B+ posts). Mix in smaller, community-specific tags like #SmallBizTips (500k posts) to rank higher.
Use the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 tags about your industry, 3 tags about the photo/video, and 3 tags about your ideal customer.
Avoid Banned Hashtags: Instagram "shadowbans" accounts that use flagged hashtags. Our generator filters these out automatically.

Common Hashtag Mistakes to Avoid

Using the same tags every time: Instagram may flag this as spam. Rotate your sets.
Using irrelevant tags: Using #viral on a cooking video confuses the algorithm.
Using only 1-2 tags: You are missing out on free reach. Aim for 15-30 on Instagram.

The Ideqo Hashtag Generator analyzes current trends to give you the perfect mix of tags for maximum visibility on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Pair this with our Caption Generator to create the full post in seconds.
