Instagram Hashtag Manager: Introduction & purpose

Updated 

Measure social media impact through hashtag listening and curate content that resonates more with your audience.

Hashtags play a crucial role in amplifying the reach & engagement of your brand’s social media content. Hashtags are used to categorize the content for our audiences with similar interests and make it easier for users to search and engage. Consumers are interacting with brands on social media, influencers are promoting the product with hashtags, and customers are searching for content with the hashtags of their interest, so it has become imperative to know about the performance of hashtags to curate content & hashtags ensuring its virality.

Sprinklr allows you to perform hashtag listening by creating queries with relevant hashtags that your brand wants to monitor. With hashtag search, you can find public Instagram posts and reels tagged with a specific hashtag.
