Using love hashtags on different social platforms – Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter
You’ve made it this far in the article so we’re hoping you really want to learn how to use your love hashtags effectively! Well, here’s a bit of advice on how to use them on different social networks:
Interesting fact: did you know that Twitter kinda invented the hashtag? Of course the hashtag symbol itself existed before then but Twitter users used it to collect different topics, before Twitter Search came into being.
Today the hashtag still does just that, as well as collecting ‘trends’ on topics that get really popular.
Recommendation: Use two, well-researched hashtags
In short, while Facebook has hashtags, they are not really very visible (or searchable) since most people have their profile set on private. Our advice? Don’t bother.
Recommendation: Only use hashtags if you are a brand or business with a public profile
Now Instagram is probably the trickiest of the bunch, since hashtags are quite important for this social network. They used to be the best way to increase reach on feed posts but, over time, have become less important. That said, they are still critical in your ‘mix’ of tactics!
If it’s a Feed Post, then you are able to use up to 30 hashtags, although should limit this to around ten. You should also be mixing different ‘volumes’ of hashtags. So, for example, don’t use #love (which has 1.7 billion posts!) but try #lovewins with 7 million.
For Instagram Stories, it’s worth trying one hashtag every 2-3 story frames. Why? Well then you can check your Viewers and find out which hashtag is delivering the most for you!
Suggestion: Use around 10 mixed hashtags (different volumes) on feed posts and a different hashtag on Stories every 2-3 story frames

LinkedIn handles hashtags in a great way in that when you write a post, it suggests the right hashtags for you to use! And, like its counterparts Facebook and Instagram, these hashtags help to tie threads and topics together.
Suggestion: Use maximum five of the recommended hashtags
And what about Pinterest, that very visual social network? Pinterest is actually thirsty for hashtags since they help the platform to categorize posts and deliver them into pinner’s home feeds. Their recommendation is to use up to 20 solid hashtags per pin.
Suggestion: Use up to 20 hashtags on your pin
Where do I find the best love hashtags?
So we’ve told you exactly how you should use romance and love hashtags, but not much about how you’d go about searching for them (beyond the lists we’ve given you). Let’s dive into each of the social networks again:
In this case, simple is best. Twitter has its own search bar. Just key in #love or one of the other hashtags above and it will give you suggestions.
As we mentioned before, hashtags are really only there for businesses or if you have a public profile, so we won’t go into it here.
Many people use a third party hashtag generator, which are really great! We like the free All Hashtag but if you really want to up your Instagram game, you need to invest in the best-in-class Hashtags for Likes.
If you want to go simple, Instagram of course has its own embedded search. Just type in the hashtag you’re looking for, i.e. #love and it will show you a dropdown with more ideas including their volume of posts. So, in this example, you could try a better hashtag like #lovewins (7.1 million) or #loveislove (23 million).
