Frequently asked questions
How long should an Instagram caption be?
Any length up to 2,200 characters works, but the first 125 characters do the heavy lifting because that's what shows in the feed. Short captions suit simple photos; longer ones suit tips and stories.
Should hashtags go in the caption or a comment on Instagram?
Either works for discovery. Putting a few at the end of the caption keeps everything in one place and is easier to manage when you schedule posts.
What makes a good first line for an Instagram caption?
Something that makes people want to tap "more": a question, a clear benefit, a surprising fact or the start of a story. Avoid starting with your business name or a greeting alone.
