How to use it
- Describe what happens in the video and who it's for.
- Choose how many ideas you want and the language.
- Generate, then pick a few that match the video and add them to the end of your caption.
Tips
Use a few that fit
Three to five relevant hashtags is a good start. Tags that don't match the video can show it to people who scroll past.
Describe, don't decorate
Hashtags that say what's in the video help TikTok and TikTok search more than generic ones.
Join communities carefully
Community tags connect you with a group of viewers. Use them only when your video really belongs there.
Say your keywords too
TikTok also reads your caption and on-screen text, so use the same words there as in your hashtags.
Questions
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
A handful usually works best. Choose the most relevant ones rather than filling the caption.
Should I add trending hashtags?
Only if your video actually fits the trend. Using a trending tag on an unrelated video rarely helps.
Do hashtags help on the For You page?
They're one of the signals TikTok uses to understand a video. The video itself and how people watch it matter more.
Can I schedule TikTok videos?
Yes. With PilotPost you can schedule TikTok videos with your caption and hashtags, along with your other networks.
