Tagging a page in a social post is one of the easiest ways to build your brand's credibility and reach a new audience. It creates a clickable link to another brand's or person's page, which can lead to new followers, partnerships, and more engagement.

By tagging, you're not just creating a link—you're building a connection. It's the perfect way to give credit to a client, shout out a supplier, or share a story with a partner. This guide will show you how to tag a page while posting to all of your connected platforms at once!

First, create your post as normal. If you need a full guide to creating a post, Click Here.

When creating your post, ensure that Platform-Specific Captions are enabled. 

When writing your caption, type @ followed by the page's handle. Select the page from the drop-down that appears. 

From here, continue with your post as normal, and the page will be tagged when the post publishes.

Here are some additional considerations for specific platforms:

Instagram tagging:
Instagram does not allow the drop down list of accounts to show. To tag for these platforms, simply type the "@" symbol, and copy/paste their username after. They won't show as tagged within Thryv, but they will tag when posted

Linkedin tagging:
Linkedin's API doesn't allow tagging of accounts with special characters. The list of characters not allowed are as follows:
|,{,}, @ (outside of the initial @), [,],(,),<,>,#,/,*,_,~

Instagram location tagging:
In order to tag any location, there must be a specific IG account associated with that location. If you're having trouble tagging a location, it's most likely because there's no IG account for that location.
