How many hashtags should I use on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's algorithm favors 3 to 5 highly relevant hashtags. Using more than 5 can actually flag your post as spam and decrease your reach.

Where should I put hashtags on a LinkedIn post?

Always place them at the very bottom of your post, leaving a blank line after your final sentence or call to action.
