Why is correctly categorizing templates crucial for template visibility?

Correctly categorizing templates is crucial for template visibility because it directly influences how Canva's search algorithm filters and presents templates to users. Proper categorization ensures that your templates appear in relevant search results when users browse or search for specific types of designs. Canva's category system is designed to help users quickly find what they need by narrowing down the vast library of templates. If a template is miscategorized, it will likely be missed by users searching within the correct categories, and it may also appear in irrelevant searches, leading to low engagement. For example, if a template designed for creating 'Instagram Story Ads' is incorrectly categorized under 'Flyers', it will not be shown to users specifically looking for Instagram Story ad templates. This miscategorization limits its reach and reduces its chances of being discovered and used. Therefore, accurate categorization is essential for maximizing template visibility and attracting the right audience.
