Add an Instagram geolocation tag to posts
This article goes through the steps to add a geolocation tag to your post when posting to an Instagram Business account.
Note: The Instagram API doesn't support user tags, shopping tags and branded content tags.
Note: Instagram geolocation tagging is only supported when posting to Instagram Business profiles.
- Select the Instagram Business profile you wish to compose a message to. Once you've selected your profile, you will see a new location icon within the toolbar. Click on this icon to add your geolocation tag.
- When you've clicked the location tag icon, a box will open with a search bar where you can add the location tag you wish to add.
Note: Instagram geolocation only supports individual tags to posts and it is not possible to add more than one geolocation tag to a post.
- The behaviour of the location results will work by displaying the most local location to you first, if this isn't the result you are looking for you can scroll for other results or specify your search further.
Note: Once you've added the tag you wish to use the pop-up will close and the icon will appear blue within the toolbar which signals the tag has been added.
- When you are ready with your message, if you click on the post preview icon, you will then be able to see the location tag appended to the message so you can see how this looks before scheduling.
- If you wish to change or remove the tag, click back onto the location icon and select the 'bin' icon to remove the tag. You can then add in a new tag closeout from this view so that no tag is added to your post.
