As a business owner using Facebook for marketing purposes, uploading photo albums is an effective way to share information about your business and products online. Tagging photo albums helps to create a viral marketing effect, as tagged albums are shared across multiple members' news feeds. To ease the time burden of tagging individual photos, Facebook uses facial recognition software, which allows members to tag multiple photos at once. Due to privacy limitations, automatic tagging is not always an option. Save time by taking full advantage of this feature whenever offered.

Upload photos using the "Photo/Video" option that appears just below your business page cover photo. When possible, Facebook organizes your photos by similar people and offers tag suggestions for your approval or adjustment. Confirm that all photo tag suggestions contain accurate Facebook member names and that tags are placed over the correct faces.
