Tags are labels you add to your WP posts to keep stuff organized (better SEO overall).
When you're writing a post, there's a "tags" box on the right side, just add the word that makes sense for that post and hit add. Simple as that.
Try to be specific, do not overuse it, for example, if you article is explaining how to make some good food, tags should be "food" or "recipe" etc, nothing big, one or two words.
Think about what your readers might search for, of course, if you decide to let Google index tags which some people don't do, like me for example, at first I did but later, nope, just categories, but in general it depends from niche to niche.
Just don't spam with tags, don't use tags as your main keywords, keep it simple, and use tags in a way that makes sense for you and your readers.

Focus on selecting relevant and specific keywords that reflect the content of your post. Add these keywords as tags in the “Tags” section of the WordPress editor. They should be the tags are concise, typically 2-3 words, and avoid overloading with too many tags, as this can dilute the effectiveness. Tags help in organizing content on your site and improving internal linking, but they don't directly impact SEO.

Tags in blog posts are like hashtags you use on social media and they also resemble physical tags you see on various products to classify products.
You can give multiple tags to your post and can quickly create new tags as well. It is like giving different relevant contexts to your post so that the post can be seen in those contexts.
Categories are also used for the similar purpose but the difference is that categories are mostly more strict and kept in a finite number to keep it convenient to explore while tags can be infinite, and is not strict categorization so that tagging can be done according to latest things.
So while using the tags, keep it relevant, vast and explorable. Reuse the main tags and give new tags as and when required. Consider that your audience can be interested in posts of particular tags so you should do tagging accordingly.

Google doesn’t consider meta keywords for ranking anymore, so they won’t give you a direct boost. They can just organize your content and improve on-site navigation.

Here's how to effectively use keyword tags:
1. Choose Relevant Keywords: Select tags that reflect the main topics of your post. These should be terms that users are likely to search for.
2. Adding Tags in WordPress: While creating or editing a post, find the "Tags" box on the right-hand side of the editor.
- Enter your keywords in this field, separated by commas, and press "Add."
3. Avoid Tag Overlap: Don't use tags that duplicate categories. For example, if you have a category called "SEO Tips," avoid adding "SEO Tips" as a tag.
4. Use Tags Consistently: Stick to a consistent set of tags for better organization. Reusing the same tags across multiple posts can help create a more structured tag archive.
5. Don’t Overuse Tags: Over-tagging can confuse search engines and make your content appear spammy. Use only the most relevant tags.
6. Use Plugins for SEO Tag Optimization: Consider using SEO plugins like Yoast SEO Or All-in-One SEO Or Rank Math
