Why use hashtags for your Instagram Reels

First of all, hashtags are generally a tool to get your content discovered by people who don’t (yet) follow you. And that’s true for any social media platform that uses hashtags, like Twitter or Instagram.

And when it comes to Instagram, hashtags will not just help people come across your Instagram posts in the feed, but also your Instagram Reels. And this is the way to get more reach, more engagement, and potentially even grow your following*.

*If you use the right hashtags that actually reflect the contents of your reels, mind you. Because what’s the point of getting in front of an audience who’s generally disinterested in what you have to offer, other than being able to show your boss or client some inflated reach numbers, of course, (hashtag #vanitymetrics?) 😉

That’s why you should keep up with popular Instagram hashtags (and yes, these will change over time), add hashtags to your Instagram content, and know which hashtags to promote. And generally, have an entire hashtag strategy to help your content reach the right audience. 

Because it’s not about any random hashtags from any hashtag generator, but rather ones that help you actually achieve the goals you set for your Instagram account – like brand building, follower growth, or even sales. Here are a few tips to do that:

  • Don’t just use the most popular, trending Instagram Reels hashtags. The bigger a hashtag, the bigger the chance of your content drowning in all the other Reels using it.
  • Instead, mix your Instagram Reels hashtags with some less popular or even niche hashtags that you know your audience researches on Instagram, and that could lead them straight to you. 
  • To know what your audience researches, keep an eye on your Instagram analytics, track your competitors on social media, and use content discovery tools.
  • Besides the trending hashtags that will help people find you in the Explore feed, you can also think of a branded hashtag – for your brand or specific campaign (think #shareacoke, for example.) If you ask people to share it, for example with some user-generated content, it might eventually become a popular hashtag on its own.

So yes, adding hashtags to your Instagram Reels is generally a good idea. Below you’ll find a long-ish list of Instagram Reels hashtags for different industries and types of content. Feel free to test how they work for your content (and don’t use them all – instead, choose the ones that make sense for your brand. K?)
