💡 Pro Tips
Put your best 3 hashtags first
YouTube displays the first 3 hashtags above your video title as clickable links. Make these your most important, relevant hashtags—they get the most visibility and clicks.
Combine broad and niche hashtags
Use 1-2 broad hashtags for reach (#gaming, #cooking) and 2-3 niche hashtags for targeted viewers (#indiegamedev, #veganmealprep). This balances discoverability with audience relevance.
Use #Shorts for short-form content
Always include #Shorts or #YouTubeShorts for vertical short-form videos. This helps YouTube categorize your content for the Shorts shelf and increases discoverability in that format.
Research competitor hashtags
Check what hashtags successful videos in your niche use. If a video ranks well, its hashtags are working. Don't copy exactly, but learn from what's effective in your space.
Stay under 15 hashtags
YouTube ignores ALL hashtags if you use more than 15. Stick to 3-5 highly relevant ones. More isn't better—being ignored is worse than using fewer targeted hashtags.
Update hashtags for trending topics
For timely content, use trending hashtags while they're hot. For evergreen content, focus on searchable, consistent hashtags that will remain relevant over time.
