The reviews will not only help the searchers in identifying the best place to visit and spend their time. But will also help business owners in making their GMB profile strong and expressive.
The users can add up to 5 hashtags at the end of their review to make it easier to read. Google has suggested to use meaningful hashtags like #sunsetview, #streetcoffee, #goodforselfies, #bestplaceforburgers, etc.
Google has also recommended users to avoid hashtags like #love, #coffee, #burger, etc. To make your hashtag in Google Map reviews more visible and effective use long tail keywords in hashtags.
