Categories and tags help organize your site's content and improve visitor navigation. Here's how to effectively use them:

Categories vs. Tags

• Categories: Use for broad themes or content types (e.g., "Tops," "Bottoms," "Accessories" for stores)
• Tags: Use for specific details, keywords, or temporary groupings
• Keep categories limited and strategic
• Use tags more freely for detailed organization
