[OPINION NEEDED] Best Practices: Creating Tags

[byoung85]

Hi all,

 

A Prestashop Noob here.

 

I'm in a process of creating a sports supplements e-commerce. While creating a couple of products in the back office, I noticed that it'll be in my best interest to create tags for the products.

 

This has led me to the following questions:

• Are tags just used to provide a better navigation for the visitors?
  
• Are there any benefits of creating tags from a vendor's perspective?
  

Also, for those of you who utilize tags, what are the best practices of creating, and incorporating tags to an e-commerce site?

 

I'd love to hear from some of the experts in this forum.

 

Thanks yall!

the most important thing in tags, in my opinion, is fact, that they are great for SEO !

use google insights (now it is called google trends), search there product that you sell:

 

this is result for "supplements"

 

 

 

 

use most valuable keywords as a tag for your products, then you will get more traffic from google

 

for example, you selling vitamin natural supplements for muscles (strawberry flavor), then use tags:

 

vitamin, natural, supplement, muscle, strawberry
