How to add more Instagram hashtag sources to your Juicer feed

Instagram allots ~30 hashtag sources per connected IG Business account. Link more IG Business accounts to scale—or use a separate Facebook account as a fallback.

Written by Mario T.

Instagram caps hashtag-source queries at 30 hashtags per connected Instagram Business account, on a rolling 7-day window. Juicer's hashtag quota scales with the number of IG Business accounts you've linked to your Facebook page—so the more IBAs you connect, the more hashtag sources you can run.

🌿 Example: A Facebook account with 5 Instagram Business accounts linked can carry up to 150 hashtag sources (5 × 30).

Easiest way: link more IG Business accounts

If you've already hit the cap and you have additional Instagram accounts (or can convert personal Instagram accounts to business ones), link them to the same Facebook page that's connected to Juicer. Each IBA you link lifts the quota by another ~30 hashtag sources.

  1. Make sure each Instagram account is set to Business—see How to create an Instagram Business account.

  2. Link each IG Business account to your Facebook page in Facebook's Pages settings.

  3. In Juicer, refresh your Facebook connection on the Connected Social Accounts page (click the 🔄 icon) so Juicer picks up the newly linked IBAs.

  4. Add the additional hashtag sources to your feed.

Fallback: add a team member with a separate Facebook account

If you've maxed out the IG Business accounts you can attach to your existing Facebook page, you can still grow the hashtag pool by adding a team member to your Juicer account who connects a different Facebook account (with its own IBAs already linked).

  1. In Juicer's main menu (1), open Team settings (2) and click "+ Add new staff member" button (3).

  2. Have the new team member connect their Facebook account on the Connected Social Accounts page (the account should already have its own IG Business accounts linked).

  3. Add the additional hashtag sources to your feed.

⚠️ Note: The team-member fallback requires a plan that supports multiple users, such as the Enterprise plan.
