# Topics and tags

> Group your prompts so your results are easy to read.

You can have a lot of [prompts](/start/glossary) (questions we ask AI engines for you). Topics and tags help you sort them. When prompts are sorted, your results are much easier to read.

## What is a topic?

A topic is a subject area you picked when you set up your workspace. It groups prompts that share a theme.

Every prompt belongs to one topic. So a topic is a big bucket, and your prompts live inside it.

You choose your topics during setup, and you can create new ones from the same list of onboarding topics.

## What is a tag?

A tag is your own label. You make up the word, then stick it on any prompt you want.

A prompt can have many tags at once. And one tag can sit on many prompts. So tags are a flexible way to mark prompts however you like.

## When do I use each one?

Pick based on the job you want done.

| Use a topic when               | Use a tag when                      |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| You want a big, shared theme   | You want your own personal label    |
| You want one bucket per prompt | You want to mark a prompt many ways |
| You want to filter your scores | You want to quickly group prompts   |

Here is the simple rule: a prompt has **one** topic, but it can have **many** tags.

### Short examples

* **Topic:** "Running shoes" groups every prompt about running shoes.
* **Tag:** "holiday-2026" marks the prompts you care about this season.
* **Tag:** "high-value" marks the prompts that matter most to sales.

You can put the "high-value" tag on prompts from many different topics. That is the point of tags.

## Filter your results by topic

Topics make your dashboards and scores easier to read. You can filter them by one topic at a time.

For example, you can filter your [visibility score](/start/glossary) (the share of AI answers that mention your brand) by topic. That way you see how you show up for just running shoes, not everything at once.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a results page">
    Go to your overview dashboard or a score page in the app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a topic">
    Choose a topic from the filter at the top of the page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the focused view">
    Now the numbers only count prompts inside that topic.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Manage your tags

You manage tags on the **Tags** page in the app. From there you can:

* Create a new tag.
* Attach a tag to one or more prompts.
* Remove a tag from a prompt when you no longer need it.

Because tags are your own labels, keep the words short and clear. Future-you will thank you.

<Tip>
  Think of tags like sticky notes. You can put the same note on many prompts, and many notes on one prompt.
