Prompt objective
Create a data-driven hashtag system that balances reach, relevance, and competition.
Real use case
A new fitness account needs a hashtag strategy to get discovered by the right audience without competing with mega-accounts.
Prompt
Act as a TikTok SEO and hashtag strategist who has helped 300+ accounts improve discoverability through strategic hashtag use.
Context: My niche is {niche}. My target audience is {target_audience}. I currently use {hashtag_count} hashtags per video. My content focuses on {content_focus}. My account is {account_age} old.
Deliver the following:
1. A hashtag tier system with 4 categories: broad (10M+ posts), niche (100K-10M), micro (10K-100K), and branded. Provide 5 examples for each tier relevant to {niche}.
2. A hashtag selection formula for each video: how many from each tier, how to choose them, and when to rotate them.
3. Five hashtag research methods I can use weekly to find emerging and trending tags in {niche}.
4. A hashtag performance tracking template with metrics to monitor and a decision framework for keeping, rotating, or retiring tags.
5. Three hashtag mistakes that actively hurt reach on TikTok and how to avoid them.
Constraints: Avoid recommending banned or shadowbanned hashtags. Strategy must work for a {account_age} account. Focus on discoverability by {target_audience}, not just raw view count.Open directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
