How to setup your Facebook Places listing using your computer?

I spent quite a long time trying to figure out how to set up a Facebook ‘Place’. The directions indicate that you can do this on a PC or a mobile device. After much searching and even attempts by a relative to set one up on his iPhone, it appears that you MUST do it on a mobile device and MUST be in your place to set it up. As we don’t have an iPhone we must then wait for a friend or relative to be here to do it for us.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your post. I have written a few exta steps for you below to complement the instructions in the Facebook MyGuide.

How to setup your Facebook Places listing using your computer

Visit touch.facebook.com (from your computer)

Navigate to the Places tab

Accept the popup on your browser that asks you if you want to share your location

Click on Share where you are with your friends

You can search for your location or click add to create your location

Once this is done, navigate to your normal Facebook account and in your feed you will see on your wall where you checked in. Click it. You will then be in your Places account. You need to claim this as yours by clicking on the left on “Is this your business” and follow the steps. It will take a little while for Facebook to verify your listing.

That is it, looking forward to seeing your Places listing!

Hey Fabie,

Just been trying to create our ‘place’. However, the Lodge did not show up. So i added a new one, but was not asked to add an address etc. So now it has Mt Barney Lodge, but it is pointing to queens st in brisbane. how can i edit this? and why does it not show the lodge?

Thanks
