Find The Best Instagram Hashtags with Tailwind’s Hashtag Finder

Instagram Hashtags are undoubtably one of the most effective ways to get more likes on Instagram. Hashtags help your posts get found by those who aren’t already following you, enabling you to expand your reach faster over time.

If you aren’t using hashtags today then you aren’t getting as much engagement on your posts as you could be. According to our data, 9% of Instagram marketers use no hashtags and 27% use less than 3 hashtags per post. It’s clear that marketers struggle to find the right hashtags, or as professional blogger and Instagram Influencer Jennifer Haber Fishkind put it –

“Hashtags are my achilles heel, my nemesis, the bain of my existence!”

If you struggle finding the right hashtags too, read on.

Finding The Best Instagram Hashtags Just Became Easy

With the launch of our new Instagram Hashtag Finder, Tailwind is the first Instagram scheduler that suggests the best hashtags for your posts. 

Simply start typing the caption of a draft post and Tailwind Hashtag Finder will suggest other related hashtags for you to choose from. With one click, you can add any of these suggested hashtag into your caption and the Instagram Hashtag Finder will immediately update your suggested hashtags accordingly, like magic.

Choose Wisely

Our clever color-coding system makes it possible for Instagram marketers to make quick and informed choices between different hashtags. The colors guide you towards using the “Good” and “Best” hashtags where your post is most likely to be competitive, whilst alerting you to “Niche” hashtags that don’t get much usage, and “Competitive” tags where your post may get buried.  If you want to see how often a hashtag is used on Instagram simply hover over a given hashtag and you can see that too!

In this extensive post on Instagram hashtag research we recommend that you use a variety of hashtags: one or two “Competitive” ones, some highly-targeted “Niche” ones (if they exist) and a fair number of “Good” and “Best” ones. Just make sure all the hashtags you use are relevant to your post.

Our handy hashtag counter even counts up how many hashtags are on your post so that you don’t accidentally exceed Instagram’s 30 tag limit. If you’re curious about how many hashtags you should be using per post, and how to brainstorm and deploy them, this Instagram hashtag strategy works for anyone
