Updated

How it writes

Three small sets: a few broad tags people search, a few for what you actually do, and one or two with your name. No #fyp, no tags about likes or follows.

Example for a coffee shop

  1. 1 · Reach: who searches the category

    #coffeeshop #cafe #specialtycoffee

  2. 2 · Niche: what you actually do

    #bondi #bondicafe #houseroasted #freshpastries #bondicoffee

  3. 3 · Brand: your own name

    #HarbourCoffee #Harbour

What makes YouTube hashtags work

The rules our writer follows when it picks hashtags for YouTube.

  • House rule

    Mix reach, niche and brand

    A few broad tags people search, a few for what you actually do, and your own name. Broad tags alone put you in a crowd; niche tags alone reach almost nobody.

  • House rule

    Only tags about your business

    Every tag names your category, your service, your place or your name. A tag that's popular but unrelated tells the platform the wrong thing about your post.

  • House rule

    No spam tags

    Never #fyp, #viral, #explore, #followforfollow or tags about likes. Our checks drop them before you see a set.

  • House rule

    Fewer, better tags

    Instagram and TikTok both cap posts at 5 hashtags now, and YouTube ignores every hashtag on a video with more than 60.

  • YouTube Help

    Put the best 3 first

    Up to 3 of your description's hashtags show by the title. YouTube picks the ones it finds most engaging, so make every one count.

Counts are the platforms' own limits, linked below; the rules are Postdom's house rules, not measurements.

Questions

Is the YouTube hashtag generator free?

Yes. Without an account you get one run a day and see 2 of its 3 sets in full. Sign up free to see all 3, get 20 runs a day and get the finished posts.

Where do hashtags go on YouTube?

In the description, or the title. Up to 3 from the description show by your title, chosen by YouTube.

How many hashtags should a YouTube Short have?

3 to 5. YouTube shows up to 3 by the title, and a video with more than 60 has every hashtag ignored.

Are hashtags the same as YouTube tags?

No. Tags are a separate field you fill in when you upload. These are hashtags for the title or description.

Will these work for long videos too?

Yes. The tags describe your business and what you do, so they suit a long video's description as well as a Short's.

What does Postdom do with my website?

It reads your homepage once to write the YouTube hashtags. It doesn't create an account or post anything. Results are kept for 7 days, so the same site gets the same YouTube hashtags.
