Maryland Website Design insights on how to maximize
your online presence in any industry using hashtags.

One of the most effective ways to increase your visibility and reach more potential clients is by using hashtags.

Hashtags related to the unique selling proposition of your business. By incorporating these hashtags into your social media posts and online content, you’ll be able to reach a wider audience who are specifically searching for specific types of services.

It’s also important to use local hashtags, such as the name of the city or neighborhood you are targeting. This will help you reach a more relevant audience.

The limits of hashtags per platform are determined by the social media platform’s policies and algorithms. These limits are subject to change, the recommended number of hashtags for each platform were:

  • Facebook: No specific limit, but using a reasonable number is recommended.
  • Instagram: 30 hashtags
  • LinkedIn: 3 hashtags
  • Twitter: 2 hashtags

Additionally, utilize specialized applications which detect mentions of your products or brand including those involving hashtags – optimizing your strategy according to the insights collected!

 

Should I use hashtags on my website?

You can use hashtags on your website pages, but they won’t have the same effect as they do on social media platforms. On social media, FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn hashtags help categorize content and make it easily discoverable, but this isn’t the case on websites.

Hashtags on websites are not commonly used, and they don’t play a significant role in search engine optimization (SEO). Instead, your website’s content, meta descriptions, and other SEO factors play a more crucial role in determining your website’s visibility in search results.

However, if you want to include hashtags on your website for other purposes, such as adding them to blog posts or linking to social media posts, you can do so. Just keep in mind that they won’t have a direct impact on your website’s SEO.

Don’t forget to include what makes YOU special in the hashtags as well! This will give potential clients a clear idea of what sets you apart from competitors when working with you.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help you achieve your online marketing goals.
