Quick Overview (What & Why)
Tagging allows you to mention other Instagram accounts in your post so they are linked to the content. This is commonly used to:
Tag local businesses
Tag lenders, inspectors, or partners
Give credit to photographers or stagers
Increase visibility and reach
Important: Tagging is an Instagram feature, not a RealEstateContent.ai feature. RealEstateContent.ai simply gives you an easy way to add tags before your post is published.
Before You Start (Important!)
Before tagging users, make sure:
You are logged into your RealEstateContent.ai account
You have generated Instagram posts in your Content Calendar
You know the exact Instagram handle of the person or business you want to tag
Good to know: Tagged users do not need to approve the tag unless they have restricted tagging in their Instagram settings.
What Is Instagram Tagging? (Plain English)
When you tag someone on Instagram:
Their username is linked to your post
They may receive a notification that they were tagged
Your post can appear in their tagged photos section
Unlike collaborations:
The post does not appear on their main feed
They do not need to accept anything (in most cases)
