Since we manage a lot of social media accounts, we’re often asked if it’s worth using hashtags on Facebook in 2024. In our experience as social media managers, using hashtags on the metaverse – especially Facebook – is a necessity! Meta has put a lot of work into organizing content on their platforms by topics and interests. By selecting topics for your reels, using hashtags on your posts, and searching content by hashtags, it’s easier than ever to find content that matters. And, if you want to be found by your target audience, it’s imperative to know what hashtags to use. It’s even more important that you use them often!
As of 2023, Facebook had 2.989 billion active users. It was ranked first among the world’s most active social media platforms. Because of the amount of activity, there’s a lot of competition to be seen. But, by using hashtags in your posts, you can better connect with the audience that matters to you.

And now for the hard part: how do you know what hashtags are trending? Luckily, Facebook has made it extremely easy to find the hashtags you need. By using Facebook’s ‘explore’ page, you can search for content based on interests, as shown in the following example.
You can use this feature by clicking on a topic that you think speaks to your brand. Then, search the content you see there for common hashtags, posts that are performing well, and other ways to connect with your target audience. You can also use it to check out hashtags on Facebook that are currently trending, as shown below.
Creating content that caters to one of these hashtags is a great way to reach a large number of people. It works especially well when your product is related to – or addresses – an issue expressed by the people using the hashtag. You can also use it if your product or service has a larger, more generalized target audience, as it can help to narrow your focus.

The platform is actively working to streamline content organization and aiming to make it more easily accessible by users.
