Find Your [UPDATE] Facebook has added more new tagging features
that are outlined in this post: Tagging For Business Pages
A lot of talk is going on right now about image tagging in Facebook. Unfortunately, as it is currently, you are unable to tag business Pages in personal Profiles.
That means, when Sally Prom-goer posts her prom corsage pictures to her profile, she CANNOT tag your business Page in them. It would be a really cool feature, and maybe Facebook will add this later, but as it stands, no go.
You may have seen ‘business Pages’ doing this, but it’s because they are using a personal Profile. Many small businesses incorrectly set up personal profiles for their businesses because they were unsure how to originally do it. Facebook now has a Profile to Page migration tool to encourage businesses to stop using personal Profiles. Although being able to tag your incorrect business profile is a great feature, you are missing out on MANY of the draws to having a business page:
- Analytics Abilities – be able to track the number of interactions your page has with fans, view key demographics like sex, age, and location, and more.
- Get Found – people usually look for Pages when searching for a business on Facebook.
- Simplicity – instead of logging in from one account to the other, Facebook allows you to switch between your personal Profiles and business Pages with just one click.
Alas, you can still use tagging!
Individuals cannot tag your business Page in their pictures, BUT they can tag themselves in YOUR pictures.. So, create an album just for pictures of prom corsages you’ve made, and encourage girls to tag their corsages in YOUR pictures. Why? This adds the picture of your beautiful prom flowers to their page and shares it with all of their friends. Try the same thing with wedding flower albums. Events, holidays, the list goes on and on.. The more pictures you post, the more opportunity it is for your fans have to interact with your Page.
