What makes a great Instagram caption?

1

Strong First Line

The first 125 characters appear before "more." Make them count with a hook that stops the scroll.

2

Drive Saves & Shares

Instagram's algorithm prioritizes saves and shares. Educational and "save for later" content performs best.

3

Strategic Hashtags

Use 3-5 relevant hashtags. Mix niche-specific tags with medium-reach tags for optimal discoverability.
