This wikiHow teaches you how to link to a Facebook page by tagging it in your Facebook status.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
On Mobile
-
1Open Facebook. It's a blue app with a white "f" on it. If you're signed into Facebook, the app will open to your News Feed.
- If you aren't already signed into Facebook, enter your email address and password and tap Sign in.
-
2Tap the "What's on your mind?" field. It's near the top of the page.Advertisement
-
3Tap the "What's on your mind?" text. This will bring up the keyboard.
-
4Type @ followed by the page's name. As you type the name out, you should see page suggestions appear.
- The "@" symbol is in the 123 menu in the bottom-left corner of most phones' keyboards.
-
5Tap the page you wish to tag. You don't need to have "liked" the page for it to appear here.
-
6Tap Post. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. Your post will tag the page in question.
- Unlike tagging people, tagging a page in your status won't display your post on the page's Home page.[1]

QuestionWhat can I do if the page name didn't appear in the list?
Community AnswerPages have the ability to turn off the tagging function, so most likely the page you are trying to tag isn't allowing it.
