Facebook tagging helps you to boost reachability and user engagements on content. Inform people and brands in your niche about the latest post updates and thereby drive visits to your pages. This is a proven strategy to increase website traffic and generate more sales.
We often tag friends in status updates, photos, and videos posted on our Facebook profiles. Can do the same thing on Facebook business pages also?
Yes, of course.

Sign to your Facebook page with administrative privileges.
Click on Create Post from the main screen to create a status update or link post. Type texts and then, enter @ followed by names that you want to tag in the post.
Facebook suggests popular names matching your name. If the name you searched appeared in the list, choose it, or type more texts to extend the search. Alternatively, you can enter the username of a person or page to find the target account easily (@username).
