Learn best practices: content categories
Content categories act as specific tags that make all types of platform content — blogs, jobs, events, resources, and more — easier to discover and filter, while also enabling more targeted email alerts for subscribers. The recommended best practice is to create 8–10 categories per content type to strike the right balance between variety and specificity.
Why do content categories matter?
Content categories allow all blogs, jobs, employers, events, classes, organizations, videos, people, experiences and resources to be identified and labeled by specific tags or keywords.
What do they accomplish?
Tagging pieces of content using content categories makes them easier to find by further narrowing a focus or search. Creating unique identifiers for content increases awareness of existing content and allows specific types of content to be selected for email campaigns and alerts preferences.
Incorporate best practices:
Create 8-10 tags for each type of content, so that filters will be varied but also quite specific.
