Instagram\u2019s keyword search lets you discover posts by typing in what you&#8217;re actually looking for, no # needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, search \u201ccozy coffee shop aesthetic\u201d or \u201ceasy at-home workouts\u201d, you get relevant results even if the post doesn\u2019t use that exact hashtag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Searching by keywords makes it easier to find inspo and niche content and gives more chances for your content to get discovered (even if you don\u2019t hashtag it to death)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should add natural language into your captions so Instagram knows what your post is about, which helps boost visibility in keyword searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_your_Highlights_into_mini_landing_pages\"><\/span><b>Turn your Highlights into mini landing pages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlights aren\u2019t just for saving old Stories, they\u2019re prime real estate on your profile.
