Transcript of Cami's Commentary:

Amy Masson's expertise in WordPress inspires me to do better. Her approach, rooted in her educational background, effectively educates clients through her blog posts. This specific post on tags and categories reminds me to regularly audit my clients' content, especially those on my care plan. Often, clients, unaware of SEO nuances, may inadvertently harm their site's performance by misusing tags, making their site hard to search and navigate or they will delete content without proper redirects.

I love how Amy explains the basics of tagging in a way that the most non-techy clients can understand.

Amy's clear, no-nonsense explanation on this topic provides an excellent framework for discussing tag management with your clients. Her abundant content output, beneficial to both her clients and her own SEO, sets a high bar that I aspire to reach in 2024. Check out Amy's website, Sumy Designs, for an impressive display of professional web design expertise. Be like Amy.
