@shannonmckinstrie: It’s officially official! Instagram just confirmed you only need up to 5 hashtags, and that fewer, more targeted ones can actually improve performance and the viewer experience. That tells us something important: Hashtags are STILL a support tool. So here’s what to do now: • Use 3–5 hashtags that genuinely describe your content • Include local hashtags if location matters to your business • Skip generic ones • Focus on language your audience recognizes themselves in #socialmediatips #instagramforbusiness #socialmediamarketing
