In the digital era, social media has become an indispensable tool for marketers, consultants, and business leaders. To maximize the reach and visibility of your content, it’s essential to understand and use hashtags effectively. Here we take a look at the fundamentals of hashtags, how they function on popular social media channels, and provide best practices for using them to enhance your social media strategy.
Hashtags are keywords or phrases preceded by the “#” symbol that categorize and organize social media content. They serve as clickable links that lead users to a feed of posts containing the same hashtag. When used strategically, hashtags can increase the discoverability of your content, improve engagement, and help you reach a wider audience.
