Why Hashtags Still Matter

Hashtags are more than discovery tricks — they are lightweight labels that organize conversations, signal belonging, and help your community find each other. Used intentionally, a brand tag becomes a rallying point and a living archive of your best work.

Practical Uses Across Platforms

  • Campaign tracking (e.g., #BrandSpring2025)
  • Community highlights (feature user posts weekly)
  • Support and Q&A tagging for faster responses
  • Event recaps and photo dumps in one place

Great tags create memorable touchpoints your audience wants to use.

Build a Tag Strategy

  1. Choose one core brand tag (short, readable, unique)
  2. Define 3–5 support tags for themes or campaigns
  3. Publish usage guidelines (bio, pinned post, SocialPage)
  4. Monitor weekly and celebrate great community posts
“A good hashtag isn’t a trick — it’s a doorway into your community.”— SocialPage Team

Measure What Matters

  • Volume: weekly unique contributors using your tag
  • Quality: saves, shares, and comments on tagged content
  • Attribution: UTM-tagged links from tag posts to your SocialPage
  • Belonging: repeat posters and creator spotlights

Add a dedicated section on your SocialPage that explains the tag, showcases top posts, and links to starter prompts. Make participation effortless.

To get the most from your tag, showcase community examples monthly on your SocialPage, add a simple submission form, and rotate prompts tied to seasons or launches. Pair posts with a clear CTA—save, remix, or contribute—and remind new followers in your pinned intro. Over time the tag becomes portable equity: wherever you publish, the conversation stays organized and discoverable in one place.
