Hey streight, I'm often asked by our readers: what's better for SEO - categories vs tags?  WordPress categories and tags serve very different purposes.  If you've ever wondered which is better for SEO, see my answer here along with the best practices. 1. Quick tip: how to find answers to your WordPress questions Want to know a secret that my team uses to quickly answer WordPress questions on social media? They help over 45,000+ users in our WPBeginner Facebook group find answers to their top WordPress questions. The trick is simple: my team googles your question and add wpbeginner at the end of the search. For example: - how to speed up wordpress wpbeginner - best wordpress plugins wpbeginner - how to install google analytics wpbeginner Basically ask your WordPress question in Google and simply add wpbeginner at the end of search to find the best results!
