YouTube Finance and Business Hashtag Performance Data

This week, ContentScout, a platform for content creators that reads social data and turns it into content, analyzed a sample of 145 real public Finance and Business posts on YouTube. The sampled posts generated an average of 1,470,492 views: down from 2,734,612 views in our previous run: with an overall median engagement rate of 0.92 percent. Broad tags like #trending led in average views, while specific tags like #investing appeared most frequently across 36 posts. Do not use all of these tags at once: instead, select a few tags that match your video's specific focus, remembering that a tag's average views describe the posts using it rather than a guarantee of reach.

ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching finance & business search terms on YouTube and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. Hashtags are ranked by the average views of the posts using them, not by how often they appear. The numbers describe those posts, they don't promise results.
