Ranking on Hashtags but reach still small

Hey guys,

I posted an Image 3 days ago using 30 hashtags and a version of the ladder method.

I ranked in 1-2 (Top 9) in 10 Hashtags out of the 30 all with around 100k-800k.

These are all highly active tags with around 100-1000 posts per day.

Yet my hashtag reach was only around 2,500 people.

Does anyone know why this is?

The results in all hashtag vary for every person on Instagram. People will always see content that is personalized to them. So even a post with a billion likes trending in a hashtag will only reach some people who view that hashtag.

Thanks!

But I don’t understand how people then reach 15-20k people purely on hashtags?

How big is your account?

Hi mrspuf,

My IG is around 150k

I have almost the same problem in relationship/couplegoals niche, 100k acc, minimal reach, no banned hashtags and most of them are 10k-100k posts. Might be my content that is almost soft porn?
