The generator returns hashtags at different scale levels: broad industry terms for wider reach and niche-specific phrases for targeted professional audience discovery. Using a combination in the same post performs better than using only high-volume tags.

LinkedIn provides a few native ways to research hashtags before using them.

LinkedIn search

Type a hashtag into LinkedIn's search bar (with the # symbol) and switch to the Posts tab. LinkedIn shows the most recent content that uses the hashtag. LinkedIn does not show a follower count in search results, but the volume and recency of posts give an indication of activity.

Hashtag feeds

Click any hashtag inside a post to open a feed of posts that use it. This shows content volume and recency, which are proxies for hashtag activity, and it lets you see what kind of posts the tag attracts.

LinkedIn hashtag analytics

LinkedIn no longer gives you native hashtag analytics. Public hashtag follower counts went away with the 2024 changes, when Creator Mode and the "Talks about" profile hashtags were retired. The practical way to measure a hashtag today is your own post analytics: compare impressions and engagement on posts that use a tag with posts that don't, over several weeks.

ContentStudio generator

Enter your post topic into the generator to get suggestions mapped to professional LinkedIn audiences. The tool surfaces hashtags with active professional communities rather than only high-volume generic terms. For a full step-by-step guide on placement, formatting and research, read how to use LinkedIn hashtags.

Most LinkedIn experts and social media tools recommend 3 to 5 hashtags per post. Posts with 1 to 3 highly relevant hashtags tend to do as well as posts with 5, and long blocks of 10 or more tags look like spam to readers.

For B2B content: Industry-specific compound hashtags (#SaaSMarketing, #B2BContentStrategy, #TechStartups) work better than broad single-word tags (#Marketing, #Business) because they reach professionals actively engaged in a specific domain rather than a generic audience.

For job seekers: Hashtags relevant to role type and industry (#ProductManagement, #SoftwareEngineering, #FinanceJobs) help recruiters and hiring managers who search those topics find your post. Announcing a new position with #NewJob, or a search with #OpenToWork, alongside a role-specific hashtag is a common pattern on LinkedIn.

For thought leadership: Hashtags tied to current professional debates or trends in your industry, combined with your area of expertise (#FutureOfWork, #AIinMarketing, #RemoteTeams), reach people interested in those conversations.

For company Pages: Pair one branded hashtag with two or three topic tags. Use the same branded tag on every post about a campaign, event or product launch so people can see the whole set in one feed.

Relevance beats volume

A tag only helps if the people following that topic would want your post. #Marketing on a post about payroll software confuses both readers and LinkedIn.

Mix broad and niche

One broad tag, two niche tags and, if you have one, a branded tag is a solid default for most posts.

Keep them readable

Capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag (#DigitalMarketing, not #digitalmarketing). It reads better and screen readers pronounce it correctly.

Don't hide the message behind tags

Hashtags are a topic signal, not a growth hack. A strong hook in the first two lines, a clear point and a question that invites comments do more for reach than any tag.

Vary your sets

Choose tags for each post's topic rather than pasting the same five every time. Your posts cover different topics, so your hashtags should too.

Hashtags and keywords both help people find you on LinkedIn, but they do different jobs.

Use both. Pick tags here, and find the words to put in your profile and posts with the LinkedIn keyword tool.
