I am so excited to share this hack with you today that will allow you to see which of your hashtags worked best on your Instagram posts! Right now if you have a professional account (Creator or Business), you can see how much reach came from hashtags but it lumps it all into one number. You can’t actually see a breakdown of the top hashtags. This awesome hack is a game changer!
Step 1: Have a professional account. Not sure which one to choose? Read this blog for info.
Step 2: Find an Instagram post that had good results from hashtags.
Step 3: Click “promote” on the post – don’t worry, you won’t actually have to spend money to do this. Trust the process!
Step 4: Fill out the info prompts. It doesn’t matter what you enter here because you will delete the promotion before it becomes active.
Step 5: Start the promotion.
Step 6: Now view the analytics and see the hashtag breakdown. It looks like this.
Step 7: Go back and cancel the promotion. Since it’s in review, you haven’t actually spent any money at this point.
While you can’t see an extensive list breakdown, even just the top 5 is a great way to see what’s working in your list. I was really surprised by these results. I expected to see a couple other hashtags in this top list.
