Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use?
Instagram: 3–10 relevant tags (Instagram itself recommends 3–5; stuffing 30 is a spam signal in 2026). TikTok: 4–6, including at least one small niche tag. YouTube: 3 above-title hashtags plus #shorts for Shorts. On every platform, relevance beats volume — one wrong big tag muddies what the algorithm thinks your video is about.
Why mix big, medium and small hashtags?
It’s a reach ladder. Big tags (10M+ posts) are a lottery ticket — huge audience, near-zero chance of ranking. Mid tags (500k–10M) are where a good post can actually hit top posts. Small tags (under 500k) are winnable every time and tell the algorithm precisely what your content is. Using only big tags is the single most common hashtag mistake.
Do hashtags still matter in 2026?
Less than they did — TikTok and Instagram now lean heavily on visual and audio content analysis plus watch behavior. But hashtags remain a cheap classification signal, they still power search on TikTok and Instagram, and niche tags still put you in communities. Five seconds of effort for a real, if modest, edge.
Should I put hashtags in the caption or the comments?
Caption. The first-comment trick made no measurable difference in every credible test, and on TikTok hashtags only count from the caption. Keep them at the end of the caption so the hook stays readable.
