TL;DR. Tagging is required, not optional. Required tags: visibility hygiene (branded vs non-branded), intent (information vs consideration vs transaction), scope (segment vs niche, or geography). Extensions: persona-based, campaign/test-based, product-line. The more granular your categories, the easier it is to spot significant patterns (indicating what an AI search engine prefers) and take actions to improve your AI visibility.
Required tags
Optimise towards specific scenarios:
- Visibility Hygiene: Branded vs non-branded.
- Intent: Information vs consideration vs transaction.
- Scope: Segment vs niche within segment, or Geography (if relevant): local vs regional/national.
Inside each tag you can add sub-dimensions like features or specific benefits.
Extension tags
- Persona-based. Which role is asking (CFO, founder, operator).
- Campaign/test-based. Check how to optimise for specific campaigns such as a dedicated hiring campaign.
- Product-line. Which product or module the prompt refers to.
Why tags are non-negotiable
It doesn't make sense to leave tags out. You can't act on it otherwise. The more granular your categories, the easier it will be to spot significant patterns (indicating what an AI search engine prefers) and take actions to improve your AI visibility.
