When you add a location to your posts, you're tagging a specific place where your content was created or is relevant to. Adding locations helps increase your post visibility and allows people to discover your content when browsing posts from that location.
Location tagging is only available for certain post types on Facebook Pages, Instagram Business accounts, and Threads.
How to add a location to your post
Adding a location to your post can be done in a few steps:
Open your calendar section from the menu bar on the left.
In the upper right corner, click on the + New Post button.
The creating post box will be displayed.
Click on the Location icon (pin marker) in the toolbar.
Start typing the location name in the search field.
Select the appropriate location from the dropdown list.
Here's a breakdown of how to add a location
First, start by creating a new post by clicking on the 'New Post' yellow button in the Publisher.
Then, click on the Location icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the post composer. The Location button appears alongside other formatting options like text formatting (Aa), AI Assistant, hashtags (#), and emojis.
A search field will appear with the placeholder "Type to search location". Start typing the name of the place you want to tag.
As you type, matching location suggestions will appear. For example, if you type "san francisco," you'll see options like:
San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Francisco, United States
KPIX CBS San Francisco Bay Area, San Francisco, United States
Israel in San Francisco, San Francisco, United States
Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, San Francisco, United States
San Francisco Centre, San Francisco, United States
Simply click on the location that best matches where you are or what you want to tag in your post.
Note: The location you select will be visible on your published post, allowing others to click and see more content from that location.
