Setting Default Facebook and LinkedIn Geo-Targeting for a User

If you are an Admin or Team Leader in Social Media Management, you can set the default geo-targeting for users in your organization so those users' Facebook Page and LinkedIn Company Page posts will only be targeted to the countries specified in their user setting.

If the targeting for a user is set to multiple countries, the user can either target all those countries or any one of those countries when creating posts. The user can never target content to any countries outside of their default geo-targeting.

Follow the below steps to set default geo-targeting for a user:

  1. In the lower-left corner of Social Media Management, click Manage settings (cog igon) > Organization admin.
  2. Select Users from the left-hand sidebar and choose the specific user you'd like to set geo-targeting for.
  3. Click open the Advanced section in the General tab of the user's settings.
  4. For the Geo-targeting option, select one or more countries from the dropdown list for the user's posts to target.

Note:

Due to Facebook API restrictions, it is not possible to geo-target video posts.


Tip:

If you manage the Facebook or LinkedIn channels of a local market, you can save time creating your content by setting a default geo-targeting for yourself, instead of applying the targeting each time you create an individual post.
