How to Automatically Add Hashtags on Facebook: Go Viral!

Last week Facebook announced support for clickable hashtags on Facebook. This new feature makes it easier for Facebook users to discover relevant, timely content.

To tap into this discovery tool, businesses, publishers, and brands now need to include hashtags on Facebook posts. The addition of hashtags can amplify your content – making your posts more discoverable and visible across Facebook.

Why Hashtags on Facebook

Hashtags turn topics and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your Timeline or Page. These links help people find posts about topics they’re interested in. To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with a topic or phrase and add it to your post.

For example: I just saw the cutest puppy! #dogs

When you click a hashtag, you’ll see a feed of posts that include that hashtag. You may also see some related hashtags at the top of the page.

According to Facebook, please keep in mind:

You must write a hashtag as a single word, without any spaces.
You can include numbers in a hashtag, but punctuation and special characters (like $ and %) won’t work.
You can search for a hashtag using the search bar at the top of any page.
You’ll only see posts that were shared with you.
