Support Local—Tag Businesses on Facebook!
Tagging businesses on Facebook is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support companies that deliver excellent service. While many consumers love giving shout-outs or writing reviews, they often forget to tag the business—missing a valuable opportunity to boost visibility and help that business grow.
Like Their Facebook Page before Tagging
Before you can tag a business in your post, make sure to “Like” their official Facebook page. This is not only a show of support but also enables Facebook to recognize the business when you try to tag it in your content. If you don’t like their page, their name likely won’t appear as an option to tag.

Use the @ Symbol to Tag
When writing your post, type the @ symbol followed by the business name (e.g., @LaineDesigns). Facebook will begin suggesting business pages that match what you’re typing. Click the correct business name to tag them. The tag will transform into a clickable link that directs others to their page, increasing their visibility and reach within your network.
Why Tagging Matters
Tagging a business does more than give them credit. It strengthens your recommendation, encourages engagement, and helps build your online reputation as someone who supports quality businesses. The company is notified, which provides them with an opportunity to respond, thank you, and potentially share your post. Additionally, anyone reading your message can easily click through to explore them and become a new customer.
