Overview

Content Labels allow you to group related pages and display them dynamically across your site using a single component. Instead of manually linking pages one by one, you can apply a label once and automatically generate organized link sections anywhere you choose.

For example, you can group multiple neighborhood pages under a label like “Downtown Madison WI Neighborhoods” and display them together on a single page—helping visitors quickly find relevant content and explore more of your site.
