From cookies to cakes and everything in between, the secret ingredient to Instagram success is the right hashtags to help your tasty creations be seen. Let Preview help bake up your best posts yet!
Whether you are a home baker showing off your stunning creations or a bakery owner looking to boost your business’ visibility on Instagram, all of the hashtags in Preview work to enhance your Instagram SEO and make sure your small business is seen.
Spend more time doing what you love and less time researching – Preview has done all the research for you with hand-selected hashtags that are ready to be mixed and matched into your perfect hashtag group.
Let’s whip up some amazing hashtags!
1. Baking and sweets
We highly recommend you start here for all of your core baking and baked goods hashtags. These groups cover all of the essentials to begin showcasing your delicious treats on Instagram.
3. Meal times
Baked goods are always amazing no matter what time of day it is or what meal you are serving. These hashtags have you covered, whether you are sharing your easy scone recipe for breakfast and brunch or showing off your easy homemade sandwich bread for the lunchtime creations.
4. Wedding and special occasions
We’re big dessert lovers here at Preview and know that every special occasion needs some delicious bakery items to indulge in. These are the ideal hashtags to use for these celebrations – everything from bridal showers and weddings to Christmas gatherings and fun parties.
5. Location-specific
If you sell your baked goods or own a bakery, these hashtags are a must. Baking is a business and these hashtags have been hand-selected to help drive traffic to your Instagram and help your business be seen.
Live in a foodie paradise or want to be seen more locally? Supplement Preview’s hashtags with location-specifiers, like your state, city, or even neighborhood.
For example, if you own a vegan bakery in Los Angeles, you could use hashtags such as:
#VeganBakeryLosAngeles
#VeganBakeryLA
#VeganBakeryWestHollywood
#WEHOVeganBakery
