Your profile isn't the only place on social media where your customers can engage with you. Social media platforms give their users the ability to Mention (also referred to as tag) a business page in their posts. Social media users take advantage of this feature for everything from shout-outs for their favorite business to drawing attention to issues they have, and everything in between. 

While the idea that any social media user can mention your business, Business Center has you covered! All of your connected pages will display any mentions of your business page in one convenient dashboard. This guide will show you how you can stay on top of them

To see your mentions, navigate to Social>Mentions

• Engagement - show the posts with highest engagement first, defined by the metric selected
