Support Local—Tag Businesses on Facebook!
As consumers, we love giving shout-outs or writing reviews for businesses that provide excellent service. It’s a simple but powerful way to support the people and companies we believe in. However, you’d be surprised how many referrals or recommendations on Facebook don’t tag the business—and that’s a missed opportunity to help them grow!
Like Their Facebook Page
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
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.
If You’re a Business Owner
If you don’t already have a Facebook Business Page, this is your sign to create one today. It’s free, easy to set up, and adds credibility to your brand. A business page makes it easier for customers to find and tag you. If you need help, we’d be happy to walk you through the process step by step.
