Keywording Creative Content
Search relies on language. Unfortunately, if users do not know how to find what they are looking for, searching digital content can be slow and frustrating, and the results irrelevant.
Keywords describe key elements of an asset (image, photo, video, file) to signify what it is about. Keywording is very powerful as a way to connect users with assets, helping them do their work efficiently and effectively. But keywords don’t just describe what is shown; they also convey ideas and concepts. Often, abstract elements create the most value for visual communicators.
