Oct 16, 2023

One of the most simple yet crucial steps to uploading a map to Soar is to add a clear description and tags. In this short guide, we'll show you why these elements are essential and how to use them effectively.

The Power of Descriptions and Tags

A map without a description or tags is like a book without a cover. It might contain valuable information, but potential readers won't know what to expect. Here's why adding a description is important:
  • Discoverability: A well-crafted description helps users find your map when searching for specific locations or topics.
  • Understanding: It provides context, helping users grasp the purpose or theme of your map.
  • Engagement: A clear description can attract users and encourage them to explore your map further.
  • Search Optimization: Tags make your map appear in relevant search results, increasing its visibility.

A Few Tips

  • Be concise: Keep your description and tags clear and concise to make it easy for users to understand and search for your map.
  • Use relevant keywords: Think about the words or phrases your target audience would use when looking for content like yours.
By adding a clear description and tags to your map, you're not only making it more discoverable but also helping users better understand and engage with your content. It's a simple yet effective way to enhance your map's appeal and reach a wider audience. So, go ahead and make your map shine!
