Library / Guides / Write the tag spec on one page

Guidesolo-coach

Write the tag spec on one pageTags multiply. Insight does not — until the spec exists.

Every automation wants a switch. That is how you get 400 tags and zero insight. A taxonomy is not fancy. It is a naming spec a tired human can follow on a Thursday.

00

In plain words

Intern through CEO

If you cannot explain a tag in five words, it is a note. Notes belong in a field. Tags are for filters and automations.

    If you cannot explain a tag in five words, it is a note. Notes belong in a field. Tags are for filters and automations.

  2. 02

    Keep source, offer, and status separate. A person can be Google + high-ticket + customer. One tag that tries to be all three will break the next workflow.

  3. 03

    Archive junk. Do not leave it 'for old automations'. Workflows only fire on spec tags. Everything else cannot trigger.

Who

Same lesson. Three jobs.

Read your row

Intern

What you actually do

Run steps 01 and 02 this week. Do not add a feature. Prefixes if you need them. No synonyms. One page.

Operator

What you protect

Protect the sequence. Keep source, offer, and status separate. A person can be Google + high-ticket + customer. One tag that tries to be all three will break the next workflow.

CEO

What you refuse to fund

Do not fund more traffic or more seats until the scoreboard in this lesson is a number you will defend. Archive junk. Do not leave it 'for old automations'. Workflows only fire on spec tags. Everything else cannot trigger.

Steps

Do this in order

Why, then done when
  1. 01

    Print the convention

    Prefixes if you need them. No synonyms. One page.

    Why: Two names for the same thing is how automations double-fire.

    Done when: A finite list you could hand a VA.

  2. 02

    Split the three axes

    Source ≠ offer ≠ status.

    Why: Combined tags make reporting lie forever.

    Done when: You can answer 'where did paying customers come from?' without a pivot from hell.

  3. 03

    Archive without sentiment

    Junk is archived, not hidden in a folder of 400.

    Why: 'Just in case' is how the next intern uses a demo tag in a live workflow.

    Done when: Live tags fit on one page.

  4. 04

    Lock triggers

    Workflows listen only to spec tags.

    Why: Leftover demo tags are landmines.

    Done when: A test: a junk tag does nothing.

  5. 05

    Review monthly

    New tag requests go through the page, or they do not ship.

    Why: Otherwise the spec dies in week three.

    Done when: A change log with a date.

The five-word test

Hand the tag to an intern. If they need a paragraph, it is not a tag. Put the paragraph in a note field.

Why

Questions people actually ask

Pushback is normal

Why not just use folders?

Folders hide the mess. They do not stop a workflow from firing on junk. The spec is the stop rule.
