Available for all plans on the Locable Marketing Platform
You can use categories and tags on business blogs, events, etc. and you can display content based on this throughout your website.
Categories & Tags in Blog Posts
Categories & Tags give you a great deal of flexibility in presenting your content throughout your site in a highly relevant way through Content Feeds.
When posting, you can select from existing Categories (1) or Add a new Category (2).
Categories should be broad content ideas and may be related to your products or services.
Tags (3) are much more granular.
In both cases, we generally recommend you use plural categories and tags i.e. "Announcements" works better than "Announcement"
Start typing your tag to see existing tags that match. You can also add entirely new tags simply by typing it out and pressing Enter. It's best to use tags only when you expect to have multiple posts with that tag semi-regularly.
Categories & Tags in Event Posts

When posting, you can select from existing Categories or Add a new Category. You can identify categories for specific event posts so they can be displayed on specific calendar feeds.

IMPORTANT - Read This:
Tags and Categories are not "Keywords" for SEO in the traditional "Meta Keyword" sense - moreover, Meta Keywords are NOT used by Google to rank websites because they're completely gameable. Keywords in your content and titles can be useful for Google but they should be 100% authentic and relevant.
Categories and Tags can be useful for SEO however it's ONLY because it helps group similar content and NOT because of the word/phrase of the Category or Tag itself.
