How many # do you use in your captions for best results?

Idk im new to this and following this guide https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/the-complete-guide-to-gain-your-first-100-000-followers-on-instagram-updated-2020.1217081/
 
Maximum, but not happy with the results.. I hardly get 4 likes on it and 1-2 followers per 10 post
 
I have an account with 1.9m followers and high engagement. For some reason if i add too many # then i don't rank up.

If i add few (2-10) # then i almost hit top on most hashtags. But only if it's relevant to the pic. Insta knows if you post a pic or a car and if you add #cat to it then it will never rank it high. The annoying thing is that instagram is not smart enough to differentiate well... so sometimes even relevant tags are low ranked.

What niche are you in?

ok thanks for the info. i usually post between 10-20 #. I'm going to try 5-10 for some time now
 
From my experience only a few hashtags work better than using up all space available. Make it more targeted, so you can reach the right users.
 
This question is extremely relative and too many variables to account for when interpreting the replies.
 
max as allowed as there also being indexed and search for.

could be lucky

all free traffic good.
 
It really depends on how old your account is, how engaging and what type of content it is and what kind of hashtags you're using.
Adding the right hashtags does boost the visibility but doing it too much and specially adding irrelevant hashtags will show your content to the wrong people who won't engage with it and kill your reach.

So, use them under moderation and always ensure your content is super catchy!

I know. Still interested what other people are doing :)
 
yeah i know but i just like to hear other numbers

In that case I use the max, lol. 30 most times but always over 20 but for reference, I have a small account that I recently started growing.
