Tagging, mentioning, @ing… call it what you will, interacting with other people by including them in your posts is fundamental to the way social media works, but following a couple of best practices and social etiquette is key.

Who you tag on social media varies between posts and depends on the content. The most important part is that the accounts you tag are relevant! Tagging people just for additional impressions can come across as spam and might result in unfollows or even suspensions of your account.

Type @ followed by the slug of the page. Matches for the text will be displayed in a dropdown below and you will need to click on an item inside the dropdown to confirm the mention. Once clicked, the text will transform into a mention (eg. @story-chief will be changed to StoryChief).

When a LinkedIn user has a paid LinkedIn account, their avatar will show when typing their slug.

Example: To mention the Coca-Cola Company page, you need to type the stripes to @the-coca-cola-company as shown below:

Start with @ and type the username, or search using the actual name or topic. For example, if you begin with @football, you will receive a list of football teams.

Type @ followed by the name of the page. Matches for your text will be displayed in a dropdown below and you will need to click on an item inside the dropdown to confirm the mention.

Type @ followed by the name of the page. In this case and as opposed to the other platforms, you won't find a dropdown of the handle of the company/profile you want to mention.

Once the social post is published through StoryChief, the mentioned account will become hyperlinked. There is a limit of 5 different accounts to mention within a social post.
