Frequently Asked Questions
What data does the Instagram keyword research tool show?
Brainito shows related hashtags for your keyword along with the number of posts using each tag on Instagram. Post counts tell you how competitive a hashtag is, which helps you balance popular and niche tags in 2026.
Does Instagram keyword research show search volumes or CPC?
No. Instagram does not publish search volumes or CPC, so Brainito shows hashtag post counts instead. Post counts are a reliable proxy for how much content competes for a tag, which is what matters for reach on Instagram.
How do I use hashtag post counts to grow reach?
Combine a few large hashtags with several smaller ones under a million posts. Big tags bring short bursts of visibility while niche tags keep your content discoverable longer, and Brainito makes both easy to spot.
