    Why Instagram Hashtags Are Important For Food Bloggers

    The number of photos shared on Instagram on a daily basis is mind-blowing.

    Hashtags allow your food photos and content to be found by a wider audience and prevent your posts from getting lost in the massive ocean that is Instagram!

    When you add a hashtag (or even better... up to 30 specific hashtags), Instagram shows your posts to those who are searching for your hashtags - which means more likes and new followers!

    It's easy to see why using hashtags on Instagram is so important, so let's go through the steps of finding and choosing the best Instagram hashtags for food bloggers.

    I've also included a complete list of hashtags so make it easier for you... with everything from healthy food hashtags to brunch hashtags, lunch hashtags to days of the week hashtags, food sharing hashtags to the top instagram hashtags, specific food hashtags to board food hashtags - and everything in between!

    How To Choose A Hashtag

    For a hashtag to be effective, it must be relevant to your content. There's no point adding a #lowcarb hashtag to a decadent cake that's clearly not low-carb!

    Choose the best hashtags that:

    • are relevant to your post - you want the right hashtags!
    • that people actually search for - there's no point in using hashtags that no one uses!

    While certain hashtags (such as #cake) have a huge number of posts, it is often more effective to use hashtags that have a moderate number of posts (#spongecake) as your post will have a greater likelihood of making it's way to the top of the search results.

    I like to mix it up by including some hashtags with a high number of posts and others with a moderate number of posts... it's a bit of trial and error until you find the sweet spot!

    Where To Find Hashtags

    There are many ways to find hashtags to use on your food posts on Instagram... but these two are particularly great ways!

    Take Note Of Hashtags That Other Food Bloggers Are Using

    Have a look at the posts of popular food bloggers or food enthusiast in your niche and make a note of the hashtags they're using in their food photography posts. Chances are, if they have great engagement on their posts, they're using effective and popular hashtags.

    Use The Instagram Search Function

    Instagram will tell you exactly how many posts they have with a particular hashtag. They'll also give you a list of other similar and related hashtags.

    Before I post to Instagram, I will type the most relevant hashtag for my post into the search bar on my Instagram account, click tags, and make notes on other related hashtags. It's a super quick and easy way to identify the hashtags you should be using.

    To use the search function:

    • click the search (microscope) button at the bottom
    • click on tags
    • type in your hashtag

    A list of related hashtags with the number of posts will then come up. Choose any of the hashtags that are relevant to your post.

    5 Simple Tips for Posting on Instagram

    There is no doubt that Instagram is one of the most important social media platforms (if not, the most!), so it's important to have a strong social media presence on the platform.

    Follow these tips for a successful hashtag strategy and watch as Instagram users find, like and share your posts!

    1. Instagram allows you to use 30 hashtags on a post (if you don't want to use that many, use a minimum of 4-11 per post). Use a range of different hashtags.
    2. Place your hashtags in the first comment so that your Instagram captions stay nice and clean
    3. Schedule Instagram posts regularly for better visibility and to reach new people.
    4. Make a list of your most commonly used hashtags in the 'Notes' section of your phone - this way, you can just copy and paste the list whenever you post on Instagram;
    5. Have 3-4 lists of relevant hashtags in the 'Notes' section on your phone, and rotate which list you use each time you post.
