Frequently Asked Questions

How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?

YouTube recommends using 3-5 hashtags per video. You can add up to 15 hashtags, but if you exceed that limit, YouTube will ignore all of them. The first 3 hashtags added to your video description will appear above the video title as clickable blue links, making them especially valuable for discoverability.

Do YouTube hashtags help with SEO?

Yes, YouTube hashtags contribute to video SEO by helping YouTube categorize and understand your content. When users click a hashtag, they see a feed of videos using that same tag. Using relevant, specific hashtags improves your chances of appearing in both hashtag searches and general YouTube search results.

Where should I add YouTube hashtags?

You can add hashtags in two places: the video title and the video description. Hashtags in the description are the most common approach -- the first 3 hashtags from your description automatically appear above your video title. You can also place hashtags directly in the title, but this uses valuable title character space, so description placement is generally preferred.
