Hashtag research
You see, just by identifying what category a hashtag might fall in, could determine 1 person or an entire city finding you reliable and relatable. For instance, using a hashtag that you might label, in your notes somewhere, as "local," will help you to find out about happenings in your neighborhood and just how likely those neighbors/potential clients are, to purchase a product, move into a neighborhood or even send their child to a certain karate school. Knowing things like this, help you to establish your self as the most knowledgeable realtor, store owner, etc. Do you see how invaluable hashtag research can be?
