    Hi everyone my question is this. I made tags for my blog pages. When I put those tags in google search my blog page is not coming up. This is the example here https://www.google.com/search?q=%22never+seen+outside%22+%22don%27t+say+much%22&filter=0&biw=1920&bih=973 there are only a few results. The two tags are “Never seen outside” and “don’t say much”

    thanks for your replies

    Hi,

    Tags on a WordPress site don’t work like hashtags do on a social media platform. They are useful for enhancing user experience on your website and can influence search engine rankings but you won’t be able to just put them into a search engine and see them come up as a result like you would a search on, for example, Twitter.

    You can search for posts on WordPress using tags. This is a useful explainer on how to do it.

    Hope that helps

    I wanted to add a few more resources to help enhance your SEO efforts. Keep in mind that everything you need is built in on WordPress.com. This is why managed hosting is powerful. Exploring the potential of customized SEO efforts is also possible as part of our upgrades.

    Do you have a domain to connect to this project? Custom domains are powerful for SEO efforts, and are an essential building block for a professional and recognizable brand. Domains can be registered as part of our hosting plans here and those start at $4/month. This is what I’d focus on first.
