Looking to make your Photos assets more accessible to find? Tagging is key!

Help users find exactly what they’re looking for by picking the right words to describe your assets.

Follow these 10 tips for tags:

1. Be Descriptive Make sure your tags describe your submission well. Use simple words that tell people what your asset is about. Consider the style, genre, technical details, emotional vibes, textures, colors, etc. Please note that our guidelines do not allow race, religion, or ethnicity in titles, but these terms can be important for users, so include them in your tags. Remember, our search engine assigns the same weight to tags as titles! ​

2. Be Specific​ Use words that are related to your work and try to avoid generic words if they don't accurately reflect the specific features of your submission. For example, instead of just writing Nature, use specific words like meadow, field, woods, or forest. Instead of just writing Woman, use specific terms like doctor, student, freelancer, etc., as well as the words woman and female.​
   

3. Be Objective​ Avoid using non-objective words like beautiful, attractive, unique, cute, modern, cool, amazing, incredible, etc. ​

4. Be Relevant​ Avoid generic tags like creative, style, design, graphic, illustration, photo, etc.; they may attract irrelevant traffic.​
   

5. Be Original​ Try to use different tags for each of your submissions.
   

6. Utilize Keywords Try to think like a user. Consider the words people might use when searching for Photos like yours, and use those words as your tags.​
   

7. Consider Variations​ Think about synonymous words people might use to search for your asset. You can use online dictionaries for inspiration. For example, instead of just ‘truck,’ use ‘lorry,’ ‘dumptruck,’ ‘dumper,’ ‘tipper,’ ‘pickup’, ‘van,’ ‘semi,’ etc., if those apply.​
   

8. Analyze Trends ​Stay informed about trending topics, styles, and keywords within the creative community. For example: "vertical" is currently trendy due to the rise of social content. Consider providing users with trending content, but remember: Only include trendy keywords if they are relevant to your content. ​
   

9. Quality Over Quantity​ While you can add up to 20 tags, it's better to be selective. Pick the tags that best represent your asset. Please note, that the first five tag positions carry the most weight in search results.​
   

10. Watch and Learn​ Keep an eye on your tags. If you see that they're not working well, change them in your next submissions.
