Why Can't I tag a Facebook Business Page in my business post?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH FACEBOOK ~ TRYING TO TAG ANOTHER BUSINESS PAGE NAME?   Stop feeling Frustrated - you aren't doing anything wrong!  The reason that you cannot Tag another Business Page on Facebook in your own Business Page Post, is because the business that you are trying to tag has not yet created their own username for their facebook page. (e.g. www.facebook.com/businessname)

Business Pages that have created a username will be tagable in business page posts and they look like this:  www.facebook.com/businessname

Business Pages that have NOT created a username and WILL NOT be tagable on Facebook Page Posts look like this www.facebook.com/business-name-12345678990998787

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BUSINESS PAGE THAT NEEDS A USERNAME SO YOU CAN TAG THEM?
  1. Send them a message, either by email or though the message button on their facebook business page to explain the discrepancy you have found.
  2. Explain that they will lose out on credibility in the post along with the chance of further likes and visits to their page if their page cannot be tagged on facebook.
  3. Send them a link to this post so they can make the necessary changes!  



HOW TO CREATE A BUSINESS PAGE USERNAME ON FACEBOOK:
  1. Firstly your business page will need over 90 likes to create a username (unless it is a community page)
  2. You will need to be an Administrator of the page at Management level.
  3. Access Your page by going to Edit Page.
  4. Then go to Update Page Info.
  5. Update Page Address.
  6. Then add your username and Press Save


STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CREATING USERNAMES FOR FACEBOOK BUSINESS PAGES:
  1. Ensure your username is spellt correctly - double check this
  2. Do NOT use punctuation in your username - no dots, dashes or capitals - think of it as a web address.
  3. Do not use your personal name for your business page - unless your business goes by the same name.
  4. User names can only be changed once after the initial name is set - so consider this seriously before choosing a name.
  5. Where possible - make your username the same name as your Business Page Name.  Creating a totally different username causes intense confusion for users and other business pages searching for you online.
  6. Lastly - ensure you always use your business logo as your profile picture, so when business pages are tagging you, they can ensure they have chosen the correct page at a glance.
