Geotagging adds physical location data to your social posts. This practice provides another way to search for content and engage in local conversations. Geotagging is supported for posts to Facebook Pages, Instagram business profiles, and Twitter profiles.
Twitter location is determined by your web browser settings, and you may be prompted by your browser to approve access to your location.
Hootsuite mobile only supports geotagging for Twitter.
