Hashtags

Travel hashtags that earn their place.

Travel has the widest gap on Instagram between reach and anything useful: the general tags are enormous, they are full of accounts posting other people's photographs, and they bring an audience that follows scenery rather than a person. The tags that do work name a place. A post tagged for a specific town reaches the far smaller number of people planning to go there, which is the audience worth having.

Tag shapes

The tags that work in travel have a shape

The place, by its actual name

The town rather than the country. It reaches far fewer people and almost all of them are considering going.

The kind of trip

Solo, family, a long weekend, on a budget. People settle the shape of a trip before they settle the destination.

The practical question

Visas, what it costs, what it is like in February. The unglamorous searches are the ones with a person and a plan behind them.

The starting set

Split by how crowded each one is, which is most of what decides whether a tag can do anything for you.

Broad

enormous, and you are competing with everyone

#travel#wanderlust#explore#adventure
Middle

where most accounts should spend most of their tags

#travelgram#instatravel#travelphotography
Specific

smaller, and where a smaller account is actually findable

The common mistake

Never tagging the actual location. A place name is the one travel tag with search intent behind it, and it is the one most often left out.

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.

Other topics

All twenty topics, and how crowding decides what a tag can do.

Better hashtags measured, then written.
