Instagram update - 3 hashtags per post ⚠️
Instagram is changing how hashtags work. You can now only add three hashtags per post and they are being used mainly for search optimisation. What does this mean? ...treat hashtags like keywords that tell Instagram what your post is about so it can show it to the right people. How to use them for your dance studio: 💜 Pick hashtags that match the exact topic of the post. Not all things dance. Not trending or broad tags. Be specific. 💜 Think like SEO. Ask: “What would a parent type into Instagram search to find this post?” Use that as your hashtag. 💜 Avoid generic tags. Specific, descriptive hashtags help your post show up in the right searches. Remember: hashtags help people discover your post. They don’t replace good messaging, clear images, or a strong post structure. The simple rule: Choose three clear, specific hashtags your ideal customer would search for. Note: this may also affect third-party schedulers. If you have more than three hashtags in scheduled posts, check they’re still publishing correctly. Has the 3-hashtag update reached your account yet?
