Facebook Added Location Based Nearby Tab
Facebook added similar features of Foursquare and Yelp to the app with a new Nearby tab that will let users find restaurants and other locations in the vicinity.
This Nearby feature is available on the Facebook iOS and Android apps.
When someone looks for a place, the results that appear in their Nearby list are based on things like their friends’ recommendations, ratings, check-ins, and likes. If you’re a business with a physical location, here’s what you can do to ensure your place is more easily discoverable in Nearby:
- Update your Page to include all of your basic information, including your address, store hours, phone number, and details about your business in the About section
- Update your category to make sure you appear when people are looking for your specific type of business
- Encourage your consumers to like, check into, rate, and recommend your place
