Hashtags vs Tags: What's the Difference?

Many creators confuse hashtags and tags. They serve different purposes and both are important for YouTube SEO.

Hashtags (#)

  • Visible - Appear above video title
  • Clickable - Viewers can click to explore
  • Limit: 3-15 - First 3 show above title

Tags (Metadata)

  • Hidden - Only in video settings
  • SEO-focused - Help algorithm categorize
  • Limit: 500 chars - More detailed keywords

Pro tip: Use BOTH for maximum discoverability. Need tags too? Try our Tag Generator.

YouTube hashtag best practices

Prioritize your first 3

The first 3 hashtags appear above your title. Make them count with high-traffic, relevant terms.

Be specific, not generic

#Video won't help. #PhotoshopTutorial2025 will. Specific hashtags attract engaged viewers.

Mix trending + evergreen

Combine trending hashtags for immediate visibility with evergreen ones for long-term discovery.

Use CamelCase for readability

#HowToGrowOnYouTube is easier to read than #howtogrowonyoutube. Readability matters.

Research before using

Click hashtags on YouTube to see what content ranks. Make sure yours fits the category.

Keep it under 15 total

YouTube may flag videos with excessive hashtags as spam. Quality over quantity.
