How to Mention People or Pages in Your Facebook & Instagram Posts

Want more eyes on your posts? Try tagging local partners or giving shout‑outs to happy customers. Here’s how to add mentions to your posts in the Olly Olly app.

Step 1: Choose Your Platforms

  • Click “Create Post.”
  • Select “Facebook,” “Instagram,” or both.

Step 2: Customize Each Post

After you click Next, focus on the text editor just under “Write Post”. In there, Type “@” and start typing the name you’re after—you’ll see a dropdown of matching pages and profiles.

Pro tip: The dropdown will update as you type text after the “@” symbol with any matching pages or people.

Step 3: Pick and Publish

When you see the right name in the dropdown, click it to tag. 

Once that’s done, finish writing your post and hit “Publish.” Your mention will show up live on the platform.

Why Does This Matter?

When you tag someone, they get notified and your post can reach their followers too! That’s a great opportunity to connect with a wider audience and build stronger community ties.
