When publishing a post, you can customize not only the title and description but also the geo location which helps your content appear more relevant to local audiences.
If your desired location (city) is not listed in the provided dropdown, you can still add it manually using a Facebook location code.
Follow the steps below to find and apply a custom location.
1. Try Setting the Location While Creating a Post
- While creating a post, after filling in the title and description, click the "Location" field to open the dropdown.
- If the city or place you're looking for is not listed, click "Add location".
- In the window that appears, click the link to open the Facebook Places page.
2. Find and Add the Location Code
On the Facebook Places page:
- Use the search bar to look up the desired city or place.
- Click the correct result from the list.
- Part of URL following after "/places/" is your location code. It looks like long number. Copy it.
- Return to the post editor.
- Paste the code into the "Location Code" field and click "Add".
- The location will now be linked to your post.
Conclusion
Facebook Meta allows for precise location tagging even if the location doesn’t appear in the default dropdown. By using a location code from Facebook Places, you can ensure your post is accurately tagged with the right city or place. This helps improve discoverability and ensures your content reaches the most relevant audience.
