The Instagram reach refers to how many users were able to see the analyzed hashtag. The “audience”.

It is important to keep in mind that both impact and reach are potential figures.

How is Instagram reach calculated?

To calculate the reach of a Instagram hashtag all the followers of each account that has participated sharing content with the hashtag are added together. For example, the report we are using as case study has a lot of influential accounts in it. Meaning that the potential reach has to be quite high. In fact, just adding the followers of the top 5 accounts we can guess how hight the Instagram reach of the hashtag is going to be.
