How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?

THE SHORT ANSWER

Use three to five hashtags on TikTok, all specific to what the video is about. That is enough to help TikTok and its search sort your video into the right topic. More than that adds nothing. Tags like fyp and viral do not push a video onto the For You page, because everybody uses them and they describe nothing. A short caption with real keywords, plus a few niche tags, is the setup that helps.

What to do

  1. 1Pick one broad tag for your niche and two or three narrow ones.
  2. 2Put the main keyword in the caption as a normal sentence.
  3. 3Drop fyp, foryou and viral.
  4. 4Search your topic on TikTok and note the tags on top videos.
  5. 5Keep the tags consistent with your niche from video to video.

The common mistake

Relying on fyp style tags to get reach. They do not tell TikTok who your video is for, which is the only job a hashtag has.

WHERE KLIK FITS

KLIK writes the caption for each TikTok you upload, so your videos go out with clear, relevant wording without you typing it each time.
