YouTube Best Practices
Use a concise set of 3–5 highly relevant hashtags; YouTube allows up to 15, but concise and specific tags better support discoverability without clutter.
Place the most important hashtags first in the description; the initial few may be featured and help early viewers understand context quickly.
Avoid spaces and special characters in hashtags; use camel case or merge words for multi‑term phrases to keep them readable and consistent.
Balance broad discovery tags with niche intent tags tied to the exact video angle for a mix of reach and precision across search and recommendations.
Benchmark trends and competitors; use YouTube search suggestions and creator patterns to refine your hashtag taxonomy over time.

How many hashtags should I use?
Use around 3–5 focused hashtags; up to 15 are permissible, but stuffing can look spammy and reduce impact.

Add them to the description; the most important few should appear first for maximum effect, and optional placement in the title is possible when it reads naturally.
What makes a good hashtag?
Specific, intent‑driven tags that accurately reflect the video topic and viewer search behavior tend to perform better than generic tags.
Can I reuse hashtags?
Yes, keep a small branded/core set and rotate niche tags per video angle to avoid repetition while maintaining taxonomy.
