Tag shapes
The tags that work in pets have a shape.
The breed
The sharpest tool here. Breed audiences follow with unusual loyalty and those tags are far smaller than the general ones.
The stage
Puppy, kitten, senior, rescue. Somebody with a new animal searches constantly and somebody with a settled one barely searches at all.
The problem
Training, separation anxiety, a fussy eater. It reaches an owner who needs something rather than a person browsing.
The common mistake
Never using the breed tag, which is the one place in this topic where a smaller account can reliably be found.
Five for one post
A starting five for a pets post.
- 1#dogsofinstagramBroad: files the post under the right subject
- 2#petsofinstagramMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 3#dogloverMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 4#rescuedogSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
- 5#kittenSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
When tags will not help: The breed tag works only if the pet is clearly visible in the first second. A dark, distant clip wastes it.
In Synclify
Measure them on your own posts.
A saved block of tags never tells you which of them worked. Synclify reads how each tag did across your own posts and writes a set for each new post before it goes out.
Measured on your account's own results, never on a topic average.
How each tag did on your last 30 posts
Sample account- #homeworkout
- #kettlebellflow
- #fitnessmotivation
- #morningmobility
- #fitness
Next post's set keeps the three that found people and swaps the two that did not.
Other topics
All twenty topics, and how crowding decides what a tag can do.
