What Do Tags Do on Squarespace?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:58 pm

When you create a new post on Squarespace, you have the option to add tags. But what are tags, and what do they do?

Tags are essentially keywords that you can assign to your content. They help you organize your content, and they also make it easier for people to find what they’re looking for on your site.

When you add tags to a post on Squarespace, those tags will appear in the post’s URL. For example, if you tag a post with “design” and “inspiration”, the URL for that post will be something like:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with HTML or CSS, we recommend that you avoid adding tags to your Squarespace site. Tags are code elements that allow you to add specific functionality to your site, and if used incorrectly, can break your site’s design or cause other problems.

This is helpful because it gives people an idea of what the post is about before they even click on it. It also helps search engines index your content so that people can find it more easily.

You can add as many tags as you want to a single post, and you can also create tag groups to further organize your content. For example, you could create a tag group for each month of the year, and then tag all of your posts accordingly. Or, you could create tag groups for different topics on your site.

To sum up, tags are a way to organize your content and make it more accessible to both people and search engines. They’re easy to use, and they can make a big difference in how people interact with your site.
