Location tagging is only available for specific types of posts on Facebook Pages and Instagram Business accounts

It is always a good idea to let the audience know where your brand is located. This way, it can grow faster and get real-time feedback. Here's how you can add locations to posts in Publer.

To add a location to your posts:

Click on the Create button
Select at least one Facebook Page or Instagram Business Account and start creating your post
Click on the Location icon



Type the desired location you want to add and make sure to select it



You can customize the location tag when posting to multiple Facebook Pages and Instagram Business Accounts



Make sure to click on save

Pro-tip: You can set a default location to tag under social account settings

How to find a location to tag by ID

Meta API may not always return the desired location, especially if there's no Facebook Page associated with the location, i.e. cities and countries

Here's how you can work around this API limitation.

Search for the location to tag in Facebook Places on desktop ( important)

Note: When tagging a location by ID, make sure to use Facebook Places, not Instagram Locations.



Go to the Location page and copy the ID from the URL



Paste the Location ID from the URL in Publer



Make sure to select the search result and click on save

If no search result is returned, it means that particular location ID cannot be tagged via the Meta API

The Facebook Location ID should also work for Instagram since they share the same API, but if for some reason causes posting errors, we will be remove the location

Keep in mind:

Location tagging is available for  Facebook Pages and Instagram Business accounts. The other social accounts don't support geo-location tagging due to API limitations.

You cannot add a locations for Facebook regular videos, GIFs, stories, or reels scheduled via reminders

Twitter/X has deprecated the ability to search for a location to tag. Previously scheduled posts with a location tag will be shared as usual, but you won't be able to edit or view the tagged location.

Location tagging is only available for specific types of posts on Facebook Pages and Instagram Business accounts

It is always a good idea to let the audience know where your brand is located. This way, it can grow fast sales and get real-time feedback. Publer provides a Location feature for your posts. Adding the location to the social networks' posts on Publer is the same, but their previews appear differently.

To add a location to your posts:

Navigate to the Create page.



Select at least one Facebook Page or Instagram Business Account and start creating your post.

Click on the Location icon.



Enter the desired location you want to add, select it, and click the Save button.



You can also customize the location tag when posting to multiple Facebook Pages and Instagram Business Accounts



Make sure to click on Save.

Pro-tip: You can set a default location to tag under social account settings.

Note: Meta API may not always return the desired location, especially if there's no Facebook Page associated with the location, i.e. cities and countries. Learn more about how you can work around this API limitation here.

Keep in mind:

Location tagging is available for  Facebook Pages and Instagram Business accounts. The other social accounts don't support geo-location tagging due to API limitations.

If you are creating the same post for  Facebook and  Instagram and want to add locations to both of them, you will be given two separate options so that each social account will have its own location.

If you want to Auto-Share a Facebook post to Instagram (or vice-versa), the location won’t be shared.

Twitter/X no longer supports the ability to search for a location to tag. Therefore, only Facebook Pages and Instagram Business Accounts will have the ability to tag locations.
