Popular Tags for Instagram

If you’re looking for more followers, likes, comments, and overall more interaction on Instagram, tagging your photos with relevant hashtags is a good way to get users to notice your photos. Lots of users browse keywords using Instagram’s search function, so if you tag your photos with descriptive keywords, they’re more likely to be discovered by other people.

Popular Tags for Instagram

For example, if you tag a photo of your choir with hashtag #choir in the description of the photo, users browsing through the #choir tag in an Instagram search should see your photo. Just keep in mind that it will quickly be pushed down the tag page as other people post their own photos and videos with the same tag.

 

If you are going to use multiple hashtags in the caption of an Instagram post, try separating them from the actual caption so it doesn't look cluttered and hard to read. You can do this by typing your caption out like normal and then making multiple line breaks, with the hashtags at the end. Some users put periods at the start of their line breaks to help guide the eyes of the viewer down toward the hashtags.

 

You may want to try tagging your posts with the nearest large city to try and gain some interest from local followers. For example, if you're near Berlin, Germany, you could add tags like #berlin or #germany.
