Hashtag engagement analytics in Bing search
Updated January 5, 2023
Just have the RiteTag extension installed, and type any hashtag right inside Bing to get the following analytics, based on Twitter data:
Unique tweets/hour (this is your competition on getting seen, should you use the hashtag)
Retweets/hour - one of your wins
Exposure/hour - your other win
The other three analytics give you style cues (how many tweets/hour contain mentions, images, URLs), to give you an idea of how the hashtag tends to be used.
The analytics are updated hourly, factoring the last hour's activity over the last several hours over the last day over the last month. You can also open the full analytics page from a link in the widget, with the embedded Explorer (see the animation below) and engagement recent Tweets with the hashtag as well.
Note that while the numbers would be different in Googleplus, Youtube, Instagram, etc., Twitter's engagement analytics are usually indicitive.
Use the RiteTag site search to open hashtag Hashtag Analytics page such as this one - for infosec - and here's how to do the deep research fast and save hashtags you find along the way: click hashtags outside the center to see hashtags associated with them and also, get the analytics for the clicked hashtag.
Watch this animation to see how I started with #inmfosec and found hashtags and saved a Hashtag Set from them:
This can be done in Google, Reddit, Duckduckgo and Quora, too.

Here's how the hashtag analytics widget looked when I search for #bettercallsaul in Bing:
Tweak hashtags to get to those with great retweets/impressions vs. uniques
We suggest adjusting (plural/singular, etc.) a hashtag until you get to a hashtag with a high number of retweets and/or impressions/hour versus unique Tweets/hour.
