Use The Best Hashtags, Reach More People, Get More Followers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Instagram, when you post photos or videos to your feed you can also include “hashtags” with them which allow other people to view your post even if they don’t follow you. What is a hashtag? It’s a #word with a #hashsymbol in front of it that turns it from text into a clickable link, which when visited will show all of the posts that use that particular hashtag. I think of hashtags like each one is an internet chatroom that any person can take part in, or view what other people are posting. When someone views that hashtag, they’ll hopefully see your post, drop in a nice comment and maybe follow you. Including hashtags on your posts will increase awareness of your account, increase engagement, and hopefully get you some new organic followers. This guide has lists some of the best Instagram hashtags to use in Calgary for different topics and themes, as well as some non-Calgary suggestions too but the scene is always changing so keep an eye out for new and popular hashtags!<\/p>\n

How To Use This Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Below are several categories of hashtags, plus a description and 30 hashtag suggestions for each one you can easily copy\/paste right into Instagram. The hashtags lists we’ve curated below contain a mix of local and world wide hashtags, giving you a nice mix of both, but more heavily focused on Calgary. Local followers are much more desirable to random people across the world. Calgary is not too big of a city yet that your posts will get drowned out, even in the biggest hashtag of #yyc<\/a> (11,136,790 posts as of this writing). You could always do some testing to see which hashtags work best for you. Some people suggest only using a few hashtags, maybe 6, or 10, but with our testing it resulted in fewer impressions. You can use 30 hashtags per post, use all 30 for best results.<\/p>\n

Using the hashtags we’ve laid out below will give you some great local exposure and organic engagement on Instagram but feel free to mix them up a bit with your own style and flavour.<\/p>\n

Where To Put The Hashtags?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In most cases it’s easiest to put the hashtags into the first comment under your Instagram post, including the 5 black dots. Whatever you put after the 5 black dots, Instagram will hide behind a two brackets […]<\/strong> (you can click on it to see the hidden hashtags). If you prefer though you can absolutely include them at the bottom of your actual post too. Adding hashtags to the first comment rather than your post just helps keep things clean and organized.<\/p>\n

All of the hashtags below include the 5 dots for easy copy\/pasting.<\/p>\n<\/div>
