October 1, 2019 Update: This feature is in the process of being turned off. Any hashtags you have added to reviews will still be visible, however, you will not be able to click on the hashtags to find other reviews with this information. We encourage you to continue to use the keywords important to you in your reviews to help others who are interested in this information. We thank you for being avid contributors to Google Maps and for sharing your feedback about hashtags.
Have a favorite coffee shop that serves #oatmilk or a go-to #datespot? You can now share the places you love and why you love them with hashtags on Google Maps.
Live on Android and coming soon to iOS, hashtags are an easy way to tell others about your exciting experiences and find similar ones in your area, whether you’re doing a general search for #familyfriendly places or just need to share all the ways to experience #pumpkinspice this fall (or seasonal treats popular near you).
Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Use specific hashtags that you’d want to search
Hashtags like #love, #food, or #favorite may be too vague to help people find what they’re looking for. Here are some interesting hashtag ideas to use instead:
- All your favorite places: #LetsGuide
- Restaurants, bars, cafes: #vegetarian #oatmilk #fallcocktails
- Attractions: #streetart #rainydays #selfiespot
- Outdoors: #sunsetviews #lakeside #leafpeeping
- Accessibility: #wheelchairaccessible #audiomenu #stepfree
2. Include up to five hashtags
If you want to include multiple hashtags, we recommend keeping it to five. Add them to the end of your reviews to make the text easier to read.
3. Add hashtags to past reviews
You can go back and add hashtags to your past reviews and photo captions so more people will find them.
