The tags that you added will show in the Tags column on your keywords list.

2. Assigning Tags to the existing keywords

You can also add tags after you already added your keywords to the tool by following the steps below:

1. Go to the keywords list of a chosen URL,

2. Update one of the columns to Tags,

You can remove tags as easily as adding them.

  1. Filter the ones you would like to remove, using an advanced filter Keyword tag is XXX,

Practical Use: Branded vs. non-branded keywords

You probably already know that branded keywords (the ones that include the brand name or a variation of it) have completely different characteristics in terms of user behavior and rankings. They have the highest CTR and rankings and the lowest bounce rates. Because users already know that they are looking for your brand specifically, branded keywords should be treated very differently.

The first thing we should do is differentiate the keywords: this will help us understand our search engine trends and behavior. The easiest way to accomplish this in Nightwatch is to tag them as branded and non-branded and then visualize them on a View based on their tag.
