How Many Hashtags Should I Use on TikTok?
Use three to five hashtags on TikTok. One broad tag for the category, two niche tags matching your specific content, and one currently trending tag if it genuinely fits. More than five dilutes the algorithm's understanding of your video, and generic filler tags actively hurt targeting.
The mix that works
- 1 broad: the category, like #seotips.
- 2 niche: the specific topic, like #internallinking, #seofree.
- 1 trend: only if it genuinely matches the video.
- 0 filler: never #fyp, #viral as your only tags.
