How hashtags actually work on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's creator hub says hashtags don't directly influence how widely a post is distributed, though they can help members find and understand it. You can no longer follow hashtags, and profile hashtags were removed in 2024, so their main remaining use is search. A hashtag is the # sign plus a single word, so #remote work only tags "remote". LinkedIn gives no recommended number; two or three specific tags at the end of a post is a sensible default, and zero is fine.
LinkedIn hashtag tips
- Use two or three specific tags that repeat topics the post already covers; a long block adds nothing.
- Capitalize each word, like #ContentMarketing, so screen readers can read it and people can scan it.
- Keep tags to letters and numbers: write #B2BSales, not #B2B-Sales.
- Put tags at the end of the post so they don't push your hook below LinkedIn's "see more" cut.

LinkedIn Hashtag Generator — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
How many hashtags should you use on a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn doesn't recommend a number. Two or three specific tags is a sensible default, and zero is fine. LinkedIn's creator hub says hashtags don't directly influence distribution, and a 2025 study of 991 LinkedIn posts found the benefit to reactions fades after two or three tags.
Can LinkedIn hashtags have spaces or special characters?
No spaces: LinkedIn's developer documentation defines a hashtag as the # sign followed by a single word, so a space ends the tag. Punctuation inside a tag is a gamble with no upside, so stick to letters and numbers and capitalize each word instead.
Can you still follow hashtags on LinkedIn?
No. LinkedIn has removed hashtag following, and in July 2025 a LinkedIn feed product leader said the old hashtag feed was being retired because people weren't really using it. Follow people, pages and newsletters in your field instead, and use LinkedIn search to look up a topic.
