About this e-learning material

Hashtags still help platforms and users understand what your content is about, but their role differs between platforms. A focused, well-researched set of tags usually works better than long lists of popular but unrelated ones.

What this material covers
• How each major platform uses hashtags today
• Researching tags that match your niche and audience
• Mixing broad, niche and branded hashtags
• Avoiding banned, spammy or misleading tags
• Reviewing hashtag performance and updating your sets

Who it is for
Creators who add hashtags without a clear plan, and brands creating campaign or community hashtags.

Build a few hashtag groups for your main topics while reading and refine them based on what you observe.
