3Tap Post. You can create a new post by tapping the Post option that's under your business name and cover photo.
-
4Tap Check In. You'll find this near the middle of the menu at the bottom of your screen.

5Tap in the text field that says "Search for places." Since the address most likely does not exist yet, you'll want to search first.

7Tap Add a new place. You'll see this at the bottom of the menu next to a blue plus sign.

8Choose a category. Tap to choose from the suggested categories. If, for example, you want to create a custom location for your bake sale and fundraiser, you can choose "Event."

-
10Type the street address and tap Create. You'll see the Create button in the top-right corner of your screen.

11Tap Share. You can compose a post to accompany the location tag, but you'll need to publish the location first.

13Tap Search under "Add Location." You may have to scroll inside the menu.
