How to set up business location tag on Facebook/Instagram

Hi all! I am trying to set up the location tag for my business page(s). I have added my business address on Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profile, my own website, and Apple maps. No matter what I try I cannot get my location to show up on Facebook or Instagram when trying to tag my location on a post. My page followers have said they cannot tag my location on their posts either. I tried to create a custom place on Facebook as well, but it still not does show up. Please let me know if you have run into this issue and what the resolution is. It is super frustrating, and happening to two of my different business pages.

🔨 How one construction company is leveraging TikTok and building awareness!

Hi everyone! 👋 As you may or may not know, I’m a big lover of TikTok (kinda obsessed, to be honest) and this past week was served a unique piece of content. It was two construction workers from SRJ Building Solutions making TikTok videos using trending sounds. Instantly I noticed their account have over 324.3K followers and some of their videos have over 4.2 million views. Check it out: https://www.tiktok.com/@sjrbuildingsolutions0?_t=8Wt8ZIiV3Bi&_r=1 Anyways, I wanted to share three things that really stood out to me: This brand is a perfect example of challenging the status quo of who should be on TikTok. There’s a lot of brands that believe that they don’t fit into TikTok. This approach by SRJ Building Solutions leverages sounds and trends that are popular, they aren’t afraid to experiment. While they aren’t explaining what their business does per say, they’re building awareness and exposure to a new audience. They post often. Posting high-quality content often through the day help

🍝 National Pasta Day Alert: Here’s a fun Pasta account to follow on social!

🍝 It’s National Pasta Day today in the United States! If I’m being honest, every day is Pasta day in my books. But since today it’s “official”, let’s talk about Pasta-focused chefs/culinary influencers on social. My favorite Pasta account on social is: Nadia Caterina Munno aka The Pasta Queen. (Find her here on TikTok, and here on Instagram). She is a celebrity on culinary social with a combined total of 3.7+ million followers, has authored a book that you can pre-order on Amazon, and, wait for it - launched her own cookware range because she started getting inquiries on the ones she used in her videos. So she basically grew two new businesses from scratch all thanks to her social clout. Here’s her recipe for social success: A. Humor: Can we talk about her hilariously melodramatic storytelling and scripts? Thanks to her, I now refer to pasta water only as “Tears of the Gods”. With a dramatic hair flip, of course.💃🏽 Check out the video below to see what I mean. Video Source: The Past

Megan Thee Marketer: Lessons from the HTown Hottie

As consumers become savvier and shift their priorities, tried and true methods to reach and engage with consumers may not work as well as they used to. To stay ahead, marketers can look to seemingly unlikely sources for inspiration. Enter Megan Thee Stallion. The rap artist from Houston recently launched Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too , a mental health resource hub. At first glance, this campaign doesn’t seem relevant to brand marketers–unless they’re a social media manager having a particularly bad day .
