Using Tags In Your Stories

In this guide, you’ll learn how to tag your stories with the exact services provided and cities served, plus why it matters for your website, social media, and Google rankings

Written by Brittany Morris

Adding service and location tags to your stories in NiceJob helps categorize your work, makes your content easier to find, and gives your local SEO a major boost! 🏷️

📈 Why You Should Use Tags

  • SEO Benefits: Service tags and location details signal active, relevant local work to search engines like Google, improving your local search rankings.

  • Social Media Optimization: When you share stories to social media, your tags are automatically converted into hashtags to make your posts easier to discover.

  • Website Filtering: Tags allow prospective clients visiting your website or Microsite to filter through stories and see real examples of the exact service they need in their neighborhood.

  • Richer Social Proof: Categorized stories give potential customers instant confidence in your quality of work and local experience.

🛠️ How to Add Tags to Your Stories

You can add tags to a story in two different ways depending on how the story starts:

Adding Tags to an Existing Review or Photo

  1. Go to the Stories tab in your NiceJob dashboard.

  2. Find the photo or customer review you want to enrich.

  3. Click the three dots (...) in the bottom right-hand corner of the review card and select Edit Story.

  4. From here, you can:

    • Upload job photos 📷

    • Tag the specific services provided

    • Add the job location

  5. Click add and then Save.

💡 Tip: No need to type a hash symbol (#) before your tags—NiceJob formats them for you automatically! 👍

When Uploading a Photo (Create a Story Button)

  1. Go to the Stories tab in your NiceJob dashboard

  2. Click Create Story

  3. Upload the photo of your choice

  4. Add a comment if you would like, then click Create.

  5. Click the tag icon 🏷️ to add a service tag or click the location icon 📍 to add a location.

Doing this automatically displays the service tag and location on your NiceJob Stories Widget and NiceJob Microsite. Plus, your tags will be used as hashtags when you share stories to social media! 📲

💡 Pro Tip: Click Get a Review to share the story with your customer as part of a review invite. When they leave a review, it will automatically attach directly to that tagged photo!

What Kind of Tags Should You Add?

Best practice is to add a tag for each service performed during that job. For example, if a job included both window washing and pressure washing, add a separate tag for each service.

No need to add the '#' in front! 👍

FAQ

Will tags and location be added directly to Google? 🏷️

No! Tags do not get posted directly onto your Google Business Profile or Google reviews. However, when your tagged stories appear on your NiceJob Stories Widget or Carousel widget, and your NiceJob Microsite, search engines like Google index that text, giving your website a local SEO boost
