What is the hashtag generator?
Pick a topic, get a short list of hashtags that actually fit it. This tool suggests three to five tags for a given subject instead of dumping thirty on you, because a handful of relevant tags reads better and works better than a wall of them. You type something like 'B2B email marketing' or 'warehouse safety' and you get tags people in that space genuinely follow.
The reason to keep the count low is simple. LinkedIn surfaces posts to people who follow a topic, and a tight set of accurate tags tells the feed exactly what your post is about. Stuffing in loosely related tags dilutes that signal and makes the post look like spam. This tool errs on the side of precise and few.
How to use it
- Type the topic of your post in plain words, as specific as you can make it (for example 'commercial solar financing' rather than just 'solar').
- Read the three to five suggestions and keep the ones that match what your post is really about. Drop any that feel like a stretch.
- Paste the chosen tags at the end of your post, or work one naturally into a sentence, then publish.
Why three good hashtags beat thirty random ones
Each hashtag you add is a claim about what your post covers. When you add thirty, most of them are wrong, and the feed has to guess which ones to trust. A short, accurate set removes the guesswork. The post gets shown to people who follow that exact subject, which is the audience most likely to react and comment.
There is also a credibility cost to over-tagging. A post capped off with a dense block of tags looks automated, and readers skim past it. Three or four tags at the foot of a thoughtful post look deliberate, like you know your corner of the industry. That impression matters as much as the reach mechanics.
The practical move is to mix one broad tag that names your field with one or two narrower tags that name the specific thing you are talking about. A post about hiring developers might use one general tag for recruiting and a tighter one for the actual role or method discussed. This tool aims for that blend automatically.
Who it's for
Company Page managers use this when they have a post ready but want it to land in front of the right followers without thinking hard about tags. It pairs well with how RightHandMan works more broadly, since the platform reads your company website and turns existing pages like blog articles and case studies into LinkedIn posts, and this tool finishes the job by tagging each of those drafts correctly. If you are posting several times a week from a content library built off your own site, a quick reliable tag suggestion for every draft saves real time. See the hashtag research tool when you want tags grouped by reach, or the post generator to write the post itself.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I actually use on LinkedIn?
Three to five is the sweet spot for most posts. Enough to describe the topic clearly, few enough that the post still looks like it was written by a person rather than assembled by a bot.
Will more hashtags get me more reach?
No. Past a small number, extra tags tend to muddy the topic signal and can make a post look like spam. Accuracy beats volume, so pick the few that genuinely match your subject.
Should hashtags go at the end or inside the post?
Either works. Most people put them on the last line so the post reads cleanly, but you can also weave one into a sentence if it fits naturally. Avoid breaking up your opening lines with tags.
Does the tool check how popular each hashtag is?
This generator focuses on relevance rather than size. If you want tags split into broad-reach and niche groups, use the hashtag research tool instead, which is built for that comparison.
