Discover Which Hashtags Drive the Best Results

Start by going to your Analytics page, where you’ll find the Hashtag Analytics tab:

You can filter your Hashtag Analytics results by different metrics such as likes, comments, impressions, reach, and saves.

These metrics help you understand which hashtags help you reach the most people. You’ll see that the darker the pink indicates higher success for each corresponding metric.

Once you know which hashtags perform best, you can start using them all the time and drive more traffic to your business.

Tip: Start by filtering by which metrics are most important for you. For example, if growing your audience is your top priority, you’ll want to filter by reach and impressions. Then you can make note of the hashtags used on the posts that rank highest for those metrics.

This will guide which hashtags you should focus on using more.

You can also filter by date ranges. The default is 7 days, but you can also switch to a 1 month view, 3 month view, or even custom date ranges.

The custom date ranges can be super helpful if you ran a campaign or launched a new product release. You can analyze the effectiveness of the hashtags used during those specific times.
