Instagram First Comment

Plugging in relevant hashtags to your Instagram posts does help generate targeted engagement, but it can make your captions a little spammy. Instead, adding your hashtags as the first comment under your Instagram post is a neat way to make your captions stand out without having to compromise on the engagement you get with your hashtags.

 

With the Instagram first-comment feature on Zoho Social you can,

1. Create, schedule, or instantly post your first comment alongside your Instagram post

2. Target the right audience and boost visibility for your posts.
