Unique Insights from Research

I have determined that trending TikTok hashtags are a priority in 2025, reporting that 87% of videos used at least one trending hashtag to increase reach. Three to five trending hashtags increases FYP possibilities by 20%, while trending niche hashtags like, #CleanBeauty, target engaged communities. 

TikTok has great data on trending content with their Creative Center showcasing precalculated trend and sound information real time.  In fact, some people feel that trending hashtags are becoming less important as TikTok evolves to an extended watch time tool and not relying on hashtag indexing. 

Adding Value for Users

To help customers overcome visibility challenges, I provide them with trending TikTok hashtags based on their niche each week. I provide tutorials for hashtag placement and how many to use to help them with their confusion and confusion over how to use hashtags. Sharing case studies, such as the #IceBucketChallenge helped set the stage, get inspiring ideas and moved them to some type of action then to share their thoughts helped get people involved in conversations started.

 Pro Tips 

1. Mix Broad and Niche Tags: I combine #FYP with niche hashtags like #VeganRecipes to reach wide and targeted audiences.
2. Track and Tweak: I analyze hashtag performance weekly to focus on tags driving the most engagement.
