Best Practices​

Content Tips​

  • Keep titles short and descriptive
  • Lead with the most important information
  • Use images to improve engagement
  • Test on mobile devices (most scans happen on phones)

QR Code Tips​

  • Print at minimum 2cm × 2cm for reliable scanning
  • Ensure good contrast between code and background
  • Test printed codes before mass distribution

Organization Tips​

  • Use folders to group related tags
  • Add hashtags for easy filtering
  • Pin important tags to keep them at the top
