What are Content Tags?
Content tags are the labels you attach to content assets. Some tag types have limited options (such as language), but other categories allow for customized tags (such as topics). This means that you can create tags which are relevant to your business and most useful for organizing your content.
Why do you use Content Tags?
Content tags help you quickly sort your Content Library to find assets with particular attributes. For example, you can sort your assets by language, funnel stage, or topic, making it easier and faster to find what you need when building Content Tracks. Being able to create tags allows you to mark content in ways that are tailored to your business objectives.
Recommend Content Tracks allow you to make Topic and Asset Type tags visible to visitors. This allows visitors to self-select the content that they find most interesting and relevant.
Content tags also help you gain greater insight into your content analytics. Aggregating data according to various content tags can illuminate average view times per asset type, or which asset types have the best click-through rates.
