30 hashtags tailored to your business, for NL and BE. Buddy splits them into broad, niche and local hashtags so you get a healthy mix.
The generator combines three kinds of hashtags: broad (10), niche (12) and local (8).
Less is more. Instagram recommends 3 to 5 hashtags per post.
Mix broad with specific. Purely broad hashtags drown.
Local hashtags are gold for local businesses.
Put hashtags in the first comment. Visually calmer, no loss of reach.
Click a hashtag to copy it individually, or copy all 30 at once and keep them in your notes. Then pick 3 to 5 hashtags per post that genuinely match the subject: one broad one for reach, two or three niche ones for the right audience, and one local one to be found by people in your area. Rotate your selection — pasting exactly the same series every time reads as a spam signal to Instagram. If you fill in a city, the tool also builds combinations with it such as #ghent and #visitghent; for a physical business, those local tags deliver the most valuable visitors.
Hashtags are the finishing touch, not a strategy in themselves. Dig into our blog article on Instagram hashtags in 2026 for Belgium and the Netherlands for the current dos and don'ts, and have a look at the other free social media tools such as the caption length checker to sharpen up the rest of your post. Want all of this to happen by itself? Let Buddy create your posts automatically — including matching hashtags per industry, location and theme.
3 to 5 on Instagram and TikTok. 3 on LinkedIn.
Not really. Limit yourself to 1 or 2 on Facebook.
Instagram periodically blocks certain hashtags. Buddy filters those out automatically.
A broad hashtag has lots of competition, a niche hashtag has a relevant audience. The mix works.
