Facebook Hashtag Best Practices

Use 2-3 Hashtags Sparingly

Facebook posts work best with 2-3 hashtags or none at all. Unlike Instagram, Facebook users don't heavily use hashtags for discovery. Focus on quality content and engagement.

Focus on Community Hashtags

Use hashtags for community building and event tracking rather than discovery. Branded hashtags and event-specific hashtags work better on Facebook than general trending tags.

Make Posts Public

Hashtags only work on public posts. If your post is friends-only or private, hashtags won't make it discoverable to others. Adjust your post privacy settings accordingly.

Use Local Hashtags

Local business hashtags and location-based tags can help with community engagement. Facebook's local focus makes these particularly effective.

How to Use Hashtags on Facebook

Test Hashtag Performance

Monitor your Facebook Insights to see if hashtags are actually helping your reach. For many pages, hashtags have minimal impact compared to other engagement factors.

Use for Events

Create unique hashtags for Facebook events to help attendees share and track event-related posts. This works better than general promotional hashtags.

Don't Overdo It

Too many hashtags on Facebook can make your post look spammy and reduce engagement. When in doubt, use fewer hashtags or skip them entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions - Facebook Hashtags

Do hashtags work on Facebook?
Hashtags work on Facebook but are less effective than on Instagram or Twitter. They only make your content searchable if your post is set to Public. Facebook users don't search hashtags as actively, so focus on quality content and engagement instead.
How many hashtags should I use on Facebook?
Use 2-3 hashtags maximum on Facebook, or skip them entirely. Research shows Facebook posts with too many hashtags often get less engagement. Unlike Instagram, Facebook doesn't reward heavy hashtag use.
Should I use hashtags on Facebook business pages?
You can use 1-3 hashtags on business pages, but focus more on creating engaging content, using Facebook ads, and building community. Hashtags have minimal impact on reach compared to content quality and paid promotion.
What are the best Facebook hashtags?
The best Facebook hashtags are event-specific, branded, or local community hashtags. Generic trending hashtags are less effective. Use hashtags for tracking campaigns and building community rather than discovery.
Can people find my Facebook posts through hashtags?
Only if your post is set to Public. Private or friends-only posts won't appear in hashtag searches. Also, Facebook users search hashtags much less than Instagram or Twitter users, so don't rely on them for discovery.
Do Facebook hashtags increase reach?
Minimally. Unlike Instagram, Facebook hashtags don't significantly boost organic reach for most users. Focus on creating shareable content, engaging with your audience, and using Facebook's other features like Stories and Groups.
Should I copy Instagram hashtags to Facebook?
No, use far fewer hashtags on Facebook. While you can cross-post, Facebook best practices suggest 2-3 hashtags maximum, while Instagram works well with 10-15. Adapt your strategy for each platform.
