Why are hashtags important to include in the Instagram advertising campaigns? It's because Instagram posts with hashtags have an average of 12.6 percent increase in engagement when compared to posts that do not use hashtags.
"Not only can hashtags help social users categorize and organize content, but they're also among the main drivers behind the most effective advertising campaigns" claims Maddy Osman on Sprout Social.
Hashtagging is extremely effective due to the fact that it allows you to categorize similar content, making it more searchable and that's probably the reason hashtagged posts receive so much more attention than posts without.
"When utilized in a strategic manner, hashtags can bring you many advantages," says Olivia Ryan. "They can be utilized to get your content seen by an even larger audience, increase the profile of your brand, reach a particular group of people, increase your SEO and utilize hot trends and subjects for your benefit."
