Did You #Hashtag It!?
Introducing Hashtags Suggestion! ????
Whenever you search trending articles from Content Discovery, or pick up an article from the internet and drop it on the Social Composer, here’s what happens:
We analyze the article for its content, evaluate the hashtag trends, and based on that, we show relevant, optimized hashtags. ????
How does it help you? ????
Well, I’m sure you know how important hashtags are for social strategy in 2021.
Knowing exactly which hashtag is appropriate for each of the different articles you come across is gonna massively save your time. So, let us do the heavy lifting while you focus on other aspects of your business! ????
???? Related Topics and Keywords in Content Discovery
Our Content Discovery just got even better, and smarter.
???? Think bigger with Suggested Keywords 2.0:
Upon searching your desired keyword, you get suggested keywords and topics that you can potentially search trending articles for:
How does this work?
Consider the term “Content Marketing.”
We present the related terms in terms of:
- Semantics
- Popularity
- Relevance
Searching these relevant terms will help you broaden your queries to be more comprehensive, useful, and targeted. ????
This means you’ll be suggested to search for things you didn’t think about searching before! Opening up a new world of variations for your content marketing content! ????
Location Tagging on Instagram & Facebook
As you may know that location tagging feature for Instagram and Facebook was deprecated a while back…
We’ve come bearing good news! ???????? We’ve found a way to fix this and Location Tagging is once again back! ????
After tagging your location, it looks like this on your Composer Screen:
How will this help you? ????
☕ Let’s say you own a cafe and you’re introducing a couple of new scrumptious desserts.
Or you’re launching a new Fashion Clothing store in another city, and you want more visitors to your newly opened shop. ????????
By tagging the location of the place, you’re making it easier for users to search you up on Google Maps.????
It also puts your business on the map. It makes it easier for users to search for you! ???? (They’re kind of similar to Hashtags like that…)
For instance, if someone searches for cafes in a certain area, your business name might also pop up!
We all know that Instagram Algorithm works in mysterious ways. ????
Based on the user’s prior search history, similar content will be shown on their newsfeed and Explore page!
Tagged locations will also help you collect the user-generated content posted by influencers or users!
… Which you can use to re-post the content to your followers!
In conclusion, the Instagram tagging feature provides your brand the boost it needs to stand out amongst the crowd and you cannot miss out!
