Whether you’re a seasoned social media veteran, or you rarely look at Facebook, there’s a good chance you’ve probably noticed the prevalence of hashtagged words across the Internet. Hashtags first rose to prominence nearly a decade ago, thanks to Twitter. Since then, they’ve spread like wildfire to every social network imaginable.
Hashtags matter to your restaurant because of how they’re tied to discoverability. When using hashtags in your social media posts, you’ll dramatically increase your reach. If you’ve got good posts, you’ll get more followers.
Here’s 50+ hashtags that’ll rock your restaurant’s social media.
