How to Use LinkedIn Hashtags Effectively

LinkedIn hashtags help categorize your content and make it discoverable to people interested in specific topics. Unlike Instagram, LinkedIn's hashtag strategy focuses on relevance over volume.

LinkedIn Hashtag Best Practices

  • Use 3-5 hashtags: Studies show this is the optimal number for LinkedIn. More can look spammy.
  • Mix popularity levels: Combine broad hashtags (500k+ followers) with niche ones (under 50k).
  • Place at the end: Put hashtags at the bottom of your post to keep the focus on your content.
  • Stay relevant: Only use hashtags directly related to your post topic.
  • Follow your hashtags: Follow hashtags to see what content performs well in each one.

Hashtag Categories

Industry hashtags: Broad tags like #Marketing, #Sales, #Technology that reach large audiences.

Niche hashtags: Specific tags like #B2BSales, #SaaSMarketing, #ContentStrategy that reach targeted audiences.

Trending hashtags: Timely tags related to current events, conferences, or industry news.

Branded hashtags: Custom tags for your company, campaign, or personal brand.

How LinkedIn Hashtags Work

  • Users can follow hashtags to see related content in their feed
  • Clicking a hashtag shows all recent posts using it
  • LinkedIn may feature top posts in hashtag feeds
  • Hashtags are searchable and help with content discovery
  • Your post can appear in feeds of people who follow your hashtags

Common Hashtag Mistakes

  • Using too many hashtags (more than 5)
  • Using irrelevant hashtags for reach
  • Only using broad, competitive hashtags
  • Putting hashtags in the middle of your post
  • Creating hashtags nobody follows
  • Not researching hashtag follower counts
