Simply swipe left to post a story, click the emoji icon, and then type in a name or address to place on your story. To create your own location, click here. After you&#8217;ve created your location, you can add a location to your post by following these steps. In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to create a custom location name and its benefits.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_custom_location_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Creating a custom location on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a custom location on Instagram is easy. All you need is a Facebook business page. Instagram shares software with Facebook, so you can update your business page from your phone. Once complete, select the custom location you want to use on your Instagram photos. Your images will then display the location where the picture was taken. To learn more, visit Instagram&#8217;s help page. You can complete the entire process in a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Using a custom location on Instagram is very similar to using hashtags or city and street names in your posts. You can even use &#8220;near me&#8221; and &#8220;GPS&#8221; features to make your business appear more prominently in users&#8217; feeds. By using a custom location, you will be able to gain a higher visibility for your Instagram post in your followers&#8217; feeds. Here are some reasons why creating a custom location on Instagram is important for your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_location_tag_to_your_post\"><\/span>Adding a location tag to your post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a location tag to your post can help you increase the reach of your content. By including a location in your caption, more people will see your content and engage with it. This is especially beneficial if you live in a city, where many people are able to search for your location. By using a location tag, you can target users nearby and attract more followers. To make the most of location tags, you should also include a location name.<\/p>\n<p>To add a location to an existing post on Instagram, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_location_tag_to_your_post_without_relying_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Adding a location tag to your post without relying on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a location tag to your Instagram post without relying on Facebook. A location tag is a geocode that is identified by your mobile device&#8217;s GPS. These tags can be either geographical or business-related. They act as a content library for Instagram and help put brick-and-mortar businesses on the map. If your Instagram account is connected to your Facebook Business Page, this information will populate automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a location tag to your post is easy to do. First, you have to enable location services in Facebook. Tap the three-line dash icon at the bottom right corner of your screen. Navigate to the Privacy section and tap Location Services. Then, open the Facebook app and navigate to Location. Once you have completed the process, you can continue to add a location tag to your Instagram post without relying on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_location_tag_to_your_post_with_a_hashtag\"><\/span>Adding a location tag to your post with a hashtag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a location tag to your post on Instagram can greatly improve your reach and make your posts more interesting to the local audience. You can also gain more exposure by tagging other users and posts in your location. Before you start using this feature, consider what your target audience is looking for. For instance, if you are a local coffee shop, consider tagging it with the name of the cafe. This will allow more people to see your posts and help you gain new followers.<\/p>\n<p>To add a location tag to your post on Instagram, you must first select a category. Once you have created a category, you can then select the location that you&#8217;re in. Once you&#8217;ve selected a location, you can then add it to your post. Location tags work with all kinds of content, including photos and stories. Adding a location tag to your post with a hashtag on Instagram will help you attract more followers and customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Create a Location on Instagram Having custom location names on Instagram is a great way to improve brand recall.
