Pro Tips

Hashtags are optional

Unlike Instagram, Facebook hashtags have minimal impact. Many successful posts use zero hashtags.

Use for specific topics

Hashtags work better for events, campaigns, or joining specific conversations rather than general discovery.

Group hashtags work

If you're posting in Facebook Groups, relevant hashtags can help members find content within the group.

Don't overdo it

Posts with too many hashtags look spammy on Facebook and can hurt engagement.

Facebook Hashtags: When and How to Use Them

Facebook hashtags work but are underutilized. Research shows posts with 1-2 hashtags get more reach than those without or those with many tags. The platform supports hashtags for discovery without the Instagram-style tagging culture.

Facebook Groups have active hashtag use. Members search within groups using hashtags to find relevant discussions. If you post in groups, hashtags help your content surface for interested members.

Trending topics on Facebook sometimes use hashtags. During major events or news moments, hashtags help aggregate the conversation. Joining relevant trends can significantly expand your reach.

Business pages should use consistent branded hashtags. Creating and using a unique hashtag for your brand builds a searchable collection of your content and user-generated posts about your products or services.

Cross-posting from Instagram often brings hashtags to Facebook. If this describes your workflow, consider editing the Facebook version to use fewer, more relevant tags for the platform.
