# Research Hashtag Performance

Hashtags are still one of the primary discovery mechanisms on Instagram and TikTok. But using popular hashtags blindly can be worse than using none at all -- if a hashtag is too broad, your content gets buried. If it is too niche, nobody is searching for it. The sweet spot requires data.

By pulling posts and videos from successful accounts and analyzing which hashtags appear on their highest-performing content, you can build a hashtag strategy rooted in proven results. The Social Media Content tool gives you the actual posts with their hashtags and engagement metrics, so you can calculate which hashtag combinations correlate with the best performance.

This workflow helps content creators optimize their discoverability, social media managers refine their hashtag banks, and marketing teams measure the ROI of hashtag campaigns. The data replaces guesswork with evidence-based hashtag selection.
