Start with your subject and tags

Bring a relevant topic or the hashtags you currently use. Avoid unrelated popular tags: a useful set describes the content and the audience it is for.

Build and inspect a set

Compare the proposed roles and counts, inspect niche leaders and adjust the set. The recommendations help organise your decision rather than guarantee discovery.

Apply and compare

Use the set on suitable content and compare several posts. Keep format, subject and timing in mind so you do not attribute every change to hashtags.

Access and limitations

Hashtag Lab is a member tool. Published hashtag-density reports are separate research resources, tied to the months for which findings exist. Neither offers an approved formula from Instagram.
