# Tags

Tags are short labels that describe your companion's personality, traits, and themes. Think of them as keywords that help other users quickly understand who your companion is at a glance — their tone, their identity, the kind of presence they bring.

Tags appear just below your companion's title and are used by SecretMate's search and filter system to help users discover companions that match what they're looking for.

You can set tags in the **Tags** section of the creation screen. You can choose up to **12 tags** from the available list.

* **Accuracy matters.** Use tags that genuinely reflect your companion. Misleading tags can result in users reporting your companion, which can lead to it being unpublished.
* **Aim for at least three tags closely tied to your companion's traits, role, or theme.** The more accurately you tag, the more likely you are to reach the right people.
* **Public companions require a minimum of two tags** to complete creation.
