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.

 

What hashtags are you excited to start using? Tell us in the comments below!

Wow! It's a wonderful announcement to use hashtags in reviews on maps. I like to use different on various reviews but best is #wheelchair accessibility, #letsguide.

That's a great idea and I have already started using it for the public toilet reviews.

 

We all can use #swacchbharat for public toilets and other places related to cleanliness.

Hi @Anonymous you wouldn't use something like #hire_dragan because that would be taking advantage of the program for personal gain and that is now allowed under the LG rules.

 

I would suggest that any common sense hashtag would be ok. Things that you think people might want to search for like #accessible #kidfriendly #tasty etc.

Hi @PaulPavlinovich

 

Thanks for answer, as I thought there is forbidden hashtags and it should be noted because there is a lot of ways to take advantage with hashtags and this can be new area for spammers, I am not sure how they planned to monitor this and without precisely defined rules...

 

However, I just wanted to know about my hashtag that I am running to find job aboard.

 

By the way, happy New Year Paul, wish you all the best.

Based on Event and Location Hashtag very useful and supportive.

@Anonymous there are precisely defined rules in the Maps User Contributed Content Policy - but they are generic rules that apply to all content rather than just #hashtags. Maps is still protected in the same way its protected when people upload porn. The Local Guide who doesn't play by the rules has a very predictable future once their content is detected.

Hello @AriMar 

Thanks for the suggestion. I was late, but I started using it today. My expectation is that media advertising will be done at the timing when hashtags are added to some extent.

 

Sapporo Beer Museum

https://goo.gl/maps/UxWghPnK2Zr

 

If possible, I would like you to propose a hashtag that can attract customers realistically.

 

My proposal for English

#Museum

#Hanami
#Sushi
#Onsen

#Temple

#Shrine

#Sake

 

For Japanese

#観光スポット

#おすすめ

#ランチ
#発祥の地
#世界遺産

 

#Let's introduce your Japan with #DeepJapan hashtag. You will discover Japanese background stories.
#Let's try your native language conversation with Google Translate #UseNativeLanguage
#Enrich Google Maps with Cycling information #Bike
#lit.link/yasumikikuchi #Guiding Star 2022 Inclusive Mapper

This is great.Started adding #hashtags in my reviews and photos.
