What Are Hashtags And Why Do Marketers Use Them?
A hashtag is a word or phrase immediately preceded by #. Platforms can use it to label a topic, connect a post to search results or group related public content.
Hashtags are one discovery signal. They do not turn a weak or irrelevant post into useful content. On TikTok, for example, hashtags can influence recommendations, while user interactions such as watch time generally carry more weight.
For a mortgage broker, a tag can help describe the post’s subject and location. It should match what the post actually covers. A first-home-buyer tag on a generic sales message creates a label without answering a buyer’s question.
20 Hashtags For Australian Mortgage Brokers To Test
Choose tags by topic and add # before each term. Check live platform results before publishing because a term’s current use can differ between platforms.
-
#mortgageaustralia
Use for an Australian mortgage post that is broader than one loan type, such as an overview of rates or application preparation. Add a location or borrower-stage tag when the post is narrower.
-
#homeloanaustralia
Broad home-loan topic for Australian educational or comparison content.
-
#firsthomebuyer
Suitable for eligibility, deposit, cost and buying-process content.
-
#propertyinvestment
Use only when the post genuinely addresses investor lending or property decisions.
-
#realestateaustralia
Use for Australian real-estate content that covers buying, selling or market activity beyond the loan itself. A state or city tag gives a local market post clearer scope.
-
#mortgagebroker
Describes the profession but does not identify an Australian location or client need.
-
#australianproperty
Fits posts about Australian property ownership or finance at a national level. Do not use it for a single suburb update unless the caption explains the wider relevance.
-
#refinancehome
Use for clear refinancing checks, costs or process explanations.
-
#homeownership
Broad life-stage tag that can suit buyer education or owner guidance.
-
#mortgagetips
Match it with a concrete, accurate action the reader can use.
-
#realestatetips
Broader than mortgage advice, so confirm the post covers the property topic promised.
-
#investmentproperty
Suitable for investor scenarios, with care around tax or return claims.
-
#australianhomes
Use for content focused on homes in Australia, such as housing stock or buyer preparation. Pair it with a finance tag when the post is specifically about borrowing.
-
#mortgageadvice
Use within the scope of the information or credit assistance you are authorised to provide.

#propertymarket
Use for sourced market commentary, not unsupported forecasts.
-
#homebuyingtips
Fits practical buyer preparation, costs and process guidance.
-
#mortgagehelp
Broad help-seeking tag. The caption should state what help is offered.
-
#australianrealestate
Use for Australian property-market or transaction content. It reaches beyond mortgage intent, so the caption should make the finance angle clear when that is the subject.
-
#loanadvice
Check that the post and account describe the service accurately.
-
#mortgageexpert
A strong expertise claim. Use it only when your experience and scope support the impression.
How To Use Hashtags Effectively
- Start with the reader’s question. Write a useful post before choosing its labels.
- Search each candidate tag. Review current results, meaning, location and content quality on that platform.
- Choose a relevant mix. Combine a clear subject tag with an Australian, state or local tag only when each describes the post.
- Check the whole message. Confirm that the caption, image, video, claims, disclaimer and tags create an accurate impression.
- Publish a controlled test. Change only part of the tag set so you can interpret the result.
- Measure useful actions. Track profile visits, saves, qualified messages, booked calls and suitable enquiries.
- Keep or replace. Retain a tag when it repeatedly helps the intended audience find useful content.
There is no universal ideal hashtag count. A smaller relevant set is easier to read and test. Avoid copying the maximum number a platform technically allows.
Platform-Specific Hashtag Strategies
On Instagram, public posts can appear on hashtag pages and in search. Use tags that describe the Reel, carousel or image rather than repeating one fixed block on every post.
Open each hashtag page before use. Check whether recent posts match your topic and audience. Measure saves, shares, profile activity and qualified enquiries alongside reach.
X, Formerly Twitter
X, still labelled Twitter in older resources, recommends no more than two hashtags per post as a best practice. Its trends are personalised by location, interests and accounts followed.
Use a tag to join a relevant live conversation. Do not attach an unrelated trend to a mortgage promotion. X can filter content that abuses hashtags or repeats near-identical posts.
TikTok
TikTok provides Creative Center trend data by industry, region and timeframe. Creator Search Insights can also show popular searches, content gaps and search performance for your posts.
Choose a tag after checking the topic data, then focus on the first seconds, watch time and completion. A trending hashtag cannot compensate for a video that does not answer the search intent.
On Facebook, treat hashtags as optional topic labels. Prioritise a clear post, a useful local angle and the rules of any group where you participate. A hashtag does not grant access to a group or make promotional content acceptable there.
Match Hashtags To The Content
Educational Posts
Use #mortgagetips or #homebuyingtips when the post teaches a specific check or step. A clear example, calculation or document checklist gives the tag useful context.
Market Updates
Use #propertymarket or #australianrealestate only with a named source, date and defined geography. Separate observed data from your interpretation and avoid predicting a result the source cannot support.
Client Stories
A client story can build trust when you have permission and remove unnecessary personal details. Do not imply that one client’s approval, rate or savings is typical for every borrower.
Compliance Checks For Broker Posts
- Support claims about rates, savings, speed, lender range, approval and expertise.
- Keep material conditions near the claim rather than hiding them behind a link or tag.
- Use current information when discussing grants, schemes, policy or online mortgage applications.
- Get consent before publishing an identifiable client story.
- Review the content under your licensee or aggregator’s social-media policy.
- Keep a dated copy of the final post and its approval record.
ASIC’s advertising guidance applies to social media. A tag such as #mortgageexpert or #fastapproval contributes to the overall impression and must not make the post misleading.
Measure Hashtag Effectiveness
Create a simple record for each post. Record the platform, topic, format, publish time and hashtags. Then add reach, profile visits, saves, messages and qualified enquiries. Review results by content theme over several posts rather than declaring a winner from one spike.
High-volume tags can produce visibility without business value. A smaller local audience that asks relevant questions can be more useful to a mortgage broker in Australia than broad impressions from people who cannot use the service.
