What is a Hashtag Generator?
A hashtag generator is a social media marketing tool that helps you discover and create relevant hashtags to increase the visibility and engagement of your posts.

By using the right mix of popular and niche hashtags, you can expand your reach, attract targeted followers, and improve your social media performance. The generator uses real-time trend data and algorithmic suggestions to provide hashtags that are most likely to boost your content's discoverability and engagement rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. For optimal engagement, use 15-20 hashtags mixing popular (100K+ posts), moderately popular (10K-100K posts), and niche-specific (<10K posts) tags. Place some in your caption and the rest in the first comment to keep your caption clean.
What's the difference between trending and niche hashtags?
Trending hashtags have high search volume but are competitive, giving broad reach. Niche hashtags have lower volume but attract highly targeted, engaged audiences. The best strategy combines both: 2-3 trending tags for reach and 10-15 niche tags for targeted engagement.
Do hashtags really increase social media engagement?
Yes! Posts with relevant hashtags see 12.6% more engagement on average. Hashtags increase discoverability by placing your content in relevant searches and explore pages. Quality hashtags help you reach users interested in your content, leading to more likes, comments, shares, and followers.
Should I use the same hashtags for every post?
No, customize hashtags for each post's specific content. Create a set of 5-10 "brand hashtags" to use consistently, but add 10-15 content-specific hashtags per post. This maintains brand consistency while maximizing relevance and reach for each individual piece of content.
What are banned or shadow-banned hashtags?
Banned hashtags are flagged by platforms and won't show up in search results. Shadow-banned hashtags may temporarily reduce your post's reach. Avoid hashtags that are overly generic, potentially offensive, or violate platform guidelines. Our generator excludes problematic hashtags automatically.
How do I research hashtag competition?
Check the number of posts using a hashtag on your platform. For Instagram: <10K (low competition, targeted), 10K-500K (moderate), 500K+ (high competition, broad reach). Our tool shows these metrics to help you choose the right balance of competitive and niche hashtags.
Can hashtag generators improve my business ROI?
Absolutely! Better hashtags increase organic reach, reducing ad spend. Targeted hashtags attract qualified leads, improving conversion rates. Influencers discover brands through hashtag searches, creating partnership opportunities. Proper hashtag strategy directly impacts brand awareness and sales.
Should I put hashtags in captions or comments?
Both methods work! Caption hashtags get indexed immediately. Comment hashtags (posted within the first minute) keep captions clean but may take slightly longer to index. Best practice: Put 3-5 most important hashtags in your caption, add the rest in the first comment immediately after posting.
