In our series of answering the public’s most often asked questions about social media platforms, we are coming down to the important topic and query of tagging a business on Facebook. So far we did a great post on changing Facebook page name and username<\/a>. We also did a short post explaining the difference between a like and a follow on Facebook<\/a>, which we definitely recommend you read it, if you don’t know the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we are talking about online advertising, social media presence is very important. You can increase brand awareness<\/a> on social media using various methods. Unfortunately, people want to see the ROI as soon as possible. This means they are not focusing their strategy on sales and growth of social media engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement is crucial when it comes to social media marketing. Marketers often forget that people want to talk back. Advertising should not be considered as a monolog. You need to give the opportunity for individuals and businesses to submit their own thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways for increasing engagement on your business Facebook page is by directly tagging other businesses (Facebook pages) or individuals who already like your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tagging is a very powerful way to increase engagement on every social media platform, which will lead to more people seeing your content and becoming a part of a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You Should Tag Businesses when Posting on Your Business Page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though tagging is simple, it is often misunderstood and not considered as an essential part of advertising. Tagging is a direct way to reach others and give them attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving other people attention may seem very counter-intuitive, but it is very useful in building long-term relationships with other Facebook pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook is about driving people to pay attention to your business and brand. Some people think that tagging is re-directing people to other Facebook pages. However, since you are on social media, you cannot focus only on yourself. Social media is about building a strong community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By tagging, you will create a sense of community and show other people that you care about them. Additionally, you will build trust between businesses that might come in handy for future collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Tag Facebook Page or Individual From Your Business Page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Facebook tagging works the same as many other social media platforms. It is a very straightforward process, and you can do it by following these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Go to the post section and type @ sign in your post;<\/li>
  2. After typing the @ sign, leave no space and start typing the business page name or the person you want to tag. <\/li>
  3. After typing the first letter, you will see a drop-down menu of all the choices that match your typing. Once you\u2019ve found the business of individuals you want to tag, select their name. (You will see their name highlighted with blue color in your post this indicates that you successfully tagged someone)<\/em><\/li>
  4. The next thing is to publish the post, and you are done!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Strategies For Tagging Facebook Pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once you\u2019ve decided to go for a tagging strategy, you should always go for business pages or individuals that fit into the type content (niche) you submit on your page. Avoid tagging a bunch of people or pages for the sake of tagging. By doing this, you will only make the situation worse, and you will be considered a spammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Different Ways For Interacting With People Through Tagging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
