How to Use the Hashtag Analyzer
Paste Your Hashtags
Copy the hashtags you plan to use (up to 30) and paste them into the analyzer. Ensure each tag starts with a # symbol.
Choose Your Platform
Select Instagram, TikTok, or X/Twitter. Our AI uses platform-specific databases to check for banned tags and niche-specific competition levels.
Review & Optimize
Check the audit results. Remove any banned tags immediately and adjust your mix based on the competition analysis to maximize reach.
Why Audit Your Hashtags?
Avoid Shadowbans
Using even one banned hashtag can cause your entire post to be hidden from non-followers. Our database is updated daily to catch these silent reach-killers.
Beat the Algorithm
If you only use massive hashtags (#love, #fitness), you'll be buried in seconds. We help you find the 'sweet spot' tags where you can actually rank in Top Posts.
True Niche Targeting
Our analyzer identifies which tags are truly relevant to your specific niche, ensuring you attract followers who actually care about your content.
Mix Optimization
The perfect post uses a 'Staircase' strategy of high, medium, and low volume tags. We calculate your current mix and show you exactly what's missing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 'Banned' hashtag?
A banned hashtag is one that Instagram or TikTok has disabled due to an excessive amount of inappropriate content being posted under it. If you use one, your post will likely be hidden from Explore and Hashtag pages entirely.
How many hashtags should I use per post?
While you can use up to 30 on Instagram, current data suggests that 3-5 highly relevant, medium-sized hashtags are often more effective for the algorithm. However, using 20-30 can still work if they are perfectly audited for quality.
Does the analyzer check for shadowbans?
Yes! Our database tracks hashtags that are currently restricted or under review by platform moderation teams. This is the closest way to 'check' if your content mix will put you at risk of a shadowban.
How often should I change my hashtags?
You should never use the exact same hashtag block on every post. This can look like 'spam' to the algorithm. We recommend having 3-4 different audited sets and rotating them based on your post topic.
