Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hashtag and why should I use it?

A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the # symbol used on social media to categorize content and increase its discoverability. Hashtags help your posts reach more people interested in that topic, boost engagement, and build community around your content.

How many hashtags should I use per post?

The ideal number varies by platform: Instagram typically allows up to 30, TikTok works best with 3-5, Twitter recommendations suggest 1-2, LinkedIn allows up to 30, and Pinterest up to 20. This tool helps you optimize for each platform's specific guidelines.

What is the difference between Generate and Extract modes?

Generate mode creates new, relevant hashtags from keywords and phrases you provide. Extract mode analyzes existing text (like social media posts or captions) to find and list all hashtags already present, along with frequency information showing how often each hashtag appears.

How does the hashtag generation algorithm work?

The generator creates hashtags by: (1) Converting keywords into individual hashtags, (2) Combining related words into phrase hashtags, (3) Creating CamelCase versions for readability, and (4) Adding relevant topic-based hashtags. All duplicates are automatically removed to ensure a clean, unique list.

Can I generate hashtags for different social media platforms?

Yes! The tool lets you select target platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube), and it optimizes the hashtag list to respect each platform's typical hashtag limits and best practices.

What makes a good hashtag?

Good hashtags are: (1) Relevant to your content, (2) Searchable by your target audience, (3) Not overly specific or too broad, (4) Properly capitalized (CamelCase) for readability, and (5) Appropriate for your industry or niche. Avoid outdated, misspelled, or inappropriate hashtags.

How does the Extract mode analyze hashtags?

The Extract mode scans your text and identifies all hashtags (marked with #), counts how many times each appears, and displays them ranked by frequency. This helps you understand which hashtags are most prominent in your content and identify patterns in your social media strategy.

Are the generated hashtags guaranteed to be trending?

The generated hashtags are relevant to your keywords but are not real-time trending data. For truly trending hashtags, check your social platform's explore or discover sections. This tool generates descriptive, searchable hashtags that should drive consistent organic reach.

Can I use this tool for hashtag research?

Absolutely! Use the Extract mode to analyze your competitors' posts and see which hashtags they use. Generate mode helps you brainstorm new hashtag ideas. Combine both to develop a comprehensive hashtag strategy for your content.

What is hashtag relevance and why does it matter?

Hashtag relevance means your hashtags accurately describe your content. Using irrelevant hashtags may boost impressions temporarily but harms credibility and engagement. Relevant hashtags attract genuinely interested audiences, leading to better engagement rates and follower quality.

How can I use this tool for brand building?

Create branded hashtags specific to your business using the Generate mode. These custom hashtags help customers find you and build community. Use the Extract mode to monitor when your branded hashtags are used and track campaign performance.

Does this tool work for all languages?

The tool works best with English content and keywords. For other languages, you can still use it to generate hashtags - the tool will process characters from most languages, though hashtag suggestions are optimized primarily for English social media conventions.
