FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram for music?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. Research suggests 8–15 well-chosen hashtags outperform 30 generic ones. This tool generates up to 30 hashtags but focus on 10–15 that are specific to your genre and audience.
How many hashtags does TikTok allow?
TikTok supports hashtags in captions but has a 2,200-character caption limit. Practically, 3–8 targeted hashtags work best on TikTok. The #FYP and #ForYou tags signal intent to the algorithm, but genre-specific tags drive audience-targeted discovery.
Do hashtags matter for YouTube videos?
Yes, but differently from Instagram. YouTube shows the first 3 hashtags above the video title. Place 3–5 hashtags at the end of the description, not in the title. YouTube ignores hashtags in titles for standard videos. Shorts use title hashtags specifically.
Should I use popular hashtags or niche hashtags?
Use a mix of both. Popular hashtags (like #newmusic) have high reach but lots of competition. Niche hashtags (like #afrobeatsvibes or #indiepopsinger) have smaller audiences but higher relevance. This tool generates a mix automatically — broad tags for reach and genre tags for targeted discovery.
What hashtags work best for releasing new music?
For a new release, combine release-specific tags (#newmusic, #newrelease, #outnow) with your artist name tag, song title tag, genre tags, and mood tags. Always include your artist name as a hashtag to build your branded hashtag over time.
Should I put hashtags in the caption or the first comment on Instagram?
Both work equally well for discoverability. Putting hashtags in the first comment keeps your caption cleaner and more readable. Hashtags in the caption are slightly more common among music artists. Choose whichever style fits your aesthetic.
