Click the gear icon and select "Settings," and then choose "Timeline and Tagging" from the menu. Click "Edit" next to "Review Posts Friends Tag You In Before They Appear on Your Timeline?" and enable the Timeline review feature from the drop-down menu. These settings will apply to posts on your own Timeline only.
The person, Page or group you mention may get a notification, and the post or comment may appear on their timeline.
Anyone who can see the comment (and the post it's attached to) can also see the 'mention', which is analogous to a tag on a main post. However, you're the only person who would get a 'notification', so otherwise it would be catch-as-catch-can as to whether other people would actually see it.
To mention a Page or group in a post or comment:
- Log into Facebook from a computer.
- Type "@" and then the Page's or group's name.
- Select a name from the list that appears.

Sharing, unlike tagging, does not single out specific people in the post. Every post on Facebook, and on many other sites, especially blogs, offers a "Share" link. Click this link to add a message as well as to customize who sees it before posting.
The only difference between tagging a Facebook friend and tagging anyone else is that a photo tag of a person who is not a Facebook friend is not linked to that person's profile, and they do not receive notification of the tag. Facebook pages display photos in which the user is tagged.
You can also remove tags from multiple posts at once:
- Go to your activity log.
- Click Photos in the left column.
- Click to check the box to the left of the posts you'd like to remove a tag from.
- Click Report/Remove Tags at the top of the page.
- Click Untag Photos to confirm.
When you tag someone, you create a link to their profile. The post you tag the person in may also be added to that person's timeline. For example, you can tag a photo to show who's in the photo or post a status update and say who you're with.
Simply put, tagging identifies someone else in a post, photo or status update that you share. A tag may also notify that person that you have mentioned them or referred to them in a post or a photo, and provide a link back to their profile. You can tag someone in a photo that you share to identify them in the photo.
Go to your Page. Click Settings at the top of your Page. From General, click Tagging Ability. Click to check the box next to Allow others to tag photos and video published by [Page name].
Start a comment in Facebook, type the "@" symbol, and when you type the first letter of a friend or group's name, a drop-down menu appears and creates an easily navigated link to that friend or group's page. When you mention and link to somebody like this, it notifies that person that you've done so.
Click at the top right of Facebook and select Settings. In the left column, click Timeline and Tagging. Look for the setting Review tags people add to your own posts before the tags appear on Facebook? and click Edit to the far right. Select Enabled from the dropdown menu.
When you tag someone, that content (example: photo, post) may be shared with the person tagged and their friends. This means that if you haven't already included their friends in the audience, their friends may now be able to see it. The audience also expands to Friends (+) when others tag your post or photo.
Click on 'Most Recent at the top of the news feed. You will get a small arrow to the side of it that you can click to open up a drop down menu. Go to Edit Options and you will see the option for "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All of your friends and Pages".
Reasons like these can mean a Business Page's URL is different than the display name showing beneath the cover photo. If you aren't having any luck locating the Business Page you want to tag by typing the Page name, check the Business Page URL and enter those words instead.
