Common issues & solutions

Hashtag set looks random

Cause

Topic and audience inputs are too broad.

Fix

Use one focused topic, one audience segment, and one intent per generation run.

Reach stays flat

Cause

Only broad hashtags were selected.

Fix

Blend one core term with 2-3 niche variants that match your exact post angle.

Tags look stuffed

Cause

Too many overlapping terms with low contextual relevance.

Fix

Keep only tags that directly describe content intent and user search behavior.

Conversions are weak

Cause

Tag strategy is disconnected from CTA intent.

Fix

Align hashtag clusters to awareness, engagement, or conversion as separate sets.
