Choose hashtags with a strategy, not a pile
Thirty random hashtags look like spam. A small, deliberate mix — a couple of broad tags, several niche ones, one local and one branded — helps the right people find you. You will build that mix and check its size and format.
You will practise
- Mixing broad, niche, local and branded tags
- Checking relevance before posting
- Keeping the count platform-appropriate

Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.

Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with
[[blanks]]to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
3Check
The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
4Improve
Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
- Run the check first.
5Ship
Use it for real: send it, post it or save it. Record what happened — that is your evidence of learning.

Questions people ask
How many hashtags should I use?
Fewer, relevant tags usually work better than a long list. Many creators use around 3–10 on Instagram and TikTok, and 3–5 on LinkedIn.
Why capitalise hashtags?
#CommunityMural is easier to read and screen readers pronounce it correctly; #communitymural is not.
Do I need an AI key to use this?
No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
Where is my work saved?
