YouTube hashtags: 6 best practices
So now that you know how and where to add YouTube hashtags to your videos, it’s time to cover how to strategically implement this practice.
Follow these best practices to help you promote your YouTube channel with hashtags:
1. Use 3-5 hashtags per video
YouTube allows you to place up to 15 hashtags in your description. YouTube has stated that if you use more than 15 hashtags on your video, it’ll ignore all hashtags. So make sure you don’t overdo it.
We recommend using 1-2 hashtags in your video title (and remember that only the first three hashtags in your description will appear above your video title).
2. Create your own branded hashtags
While YouTube encourages searching through hashtags by placing them in prominent areas on your video, this can also mean that viewers will click on those hashtags and end up leaving your YouTube channel.
This is why you might want to create your own branded hashtags as we saw with #SproutChat. If a user clicks to see more videos, they’ll only see more of your own channel’s content.
