Instagram captions: what’s different
Instagram cuts captions off after about 125 characters with a “more” link, so the first line does most of the work. It has to make someone stop scrolling before the rest of the caption gets a chance.
Good business captions follow a simple shape: a hook, the details people need, and one thing to do next. Hashtags help a little for local discovery, as long as they’re specific (#marrickvillecafe, not #food).
What works
- Put the most interesting fact in the first line, before the “more” cut-off.
- Use short paragraphs with a blank line between them. Walls of text get skipped.
- End with one clear action: book, comment, tag a friend, or visit this weekend.
- Use three to five specific hashtags, including your suburb or city, instead of thirty generic ones.
- Read the preview on a phone. What looks fine on a laptop often wraps badly in the feed.
How to use it
- 1.Pick where you’re posting.
- 2.Say what’s happening, who it’s for and what you want people to do.
- 3.Compare captions two at a time in the feed preview, tweak one and copy it.
Questions
How long should an Instagram caption be?
Long enough to say what people need. Most business captions work at 50 to 150 words, as long as the first line hooks them.
How many hashtags should I use?
Three to five relevant ones is plenty. Specific local tags help people nearby find you.
Can I turn emoji and hashtags off?
Yes. Both are switches in the tool.
