Trending and popular content will appear near the top of the page, and any sub-topics requiring promotion can be manually added to the mix.

How does tagging content improve the customer experience?
All content on nsw.gov.au is now carefully tagged by topic. Content can also have additional tags for region, industry, and audience, to name a few. This assists with improved search and filtering on the site and also helps to serve related content to a customer which they may not have otherwise discovered.
For example, consider a business owner recently affected by the floods. Through the flood pages, they can access centralised disaster relief information to support their family and business. Related information is also served on the same page, and the business owner discovers they can also access resources for small businesses, or mental health support through free programs to reconnect and socialise.
Tagging also helps to deliver more focused data and insights to further improve our content offering, and will assist with personalisation of content in the future. For example, if we know the user is a young person, we can serve them content that has an audience tag of “young people”. Multiple tags could also be used to filter and personalise content, such as seniors in regional areas of NSW. Tagging also provides us with more defined analytics so that we can report on all segments from page level right up to cluster level.
