Frequently Asked Questions

How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?

YouTube allows up to 60 hashtags but recommends using 3–5 highly relevant ones. YouTube displays the first 3 hashtags above your video title. If you use more than 15 hashtags, YouTube may ignore all of them as spam. Quality over quantity applies here more than anywhere.

Where should I put hashtags in a YouTube video?

Add hashtags to your video description — YouTube will automatically display them above the title. You can also add them in the title itself, but this looks less clean. Dedicated hashtag placement in the description is standard practice.

Do YouTube hashtags help with SEO?

YouTube hashtags are separate from YouTube's main search algorithm, which heavily weights titles, descriptions, and watch time. Hashtags create clickable hashtag pages that can drive some discovery traffic, but they're secondary to proper keyword optimization in your title and description.
