Hashtag Facebook


June 12, 2013

Facebook has finally caught up with the hashtag fad. Twitter was first with the hashtags, then Google Plus joined in and then Facebook.

What are hashtags?

Hashtags are words that come attached to the symbol “#”. They are used to group together conversations, information and pictures. If you search for a common topic like “auto repair” everyone who uses the #autorepair after their message will show up.

Why are hashtags important?

They are important because it helps your content and your business be found a lot easier. Users can track conversations or find information by searching for a specific hashtag. After clicking on or searching for that hashtag, the social media channel will pull together a list of content on that topic. The content at the top of the list will be most relevant. You can use hashtags to start a discussion, contest, join chats, get information, organize and gain more followers for your business.

Facebook is Now Using Hashtags

Facebook has now added hashtags to their list of several changes. Facebook sees hashtags as a better way of seeing what conversations are going on and what’s happening. Facebook recently added their new search graph bar and now people can use the search bar to search for specific topics using # or by clicking on the # in the posts.

How to Use Hashtags

When you are posting content on Facebook make sure you remember to put a #(topic) at the end. This will help your post be seen by a lot more Facebook users. If the users see your post they might come to your Facebook Business Page and then eventually become your customer.
