Google maps question

    Hi all, I feel a bit stupid here and cant figure this out. I have a very small teeny weeny business but I need people (working volunteers) to be able to find the location. I have recently registered with google maps and when I search on google maps with the name it brings me straight to it....great, just what I wanted. However I also have an Instagram account and I need to be able to add it as a location when I post on Instagram. I also need for our working volunteers to be able to add is as a location when using their social media. Its not coming up as an option and not coming up on Instagram location options when I search for it, I can locate the local area, the townland, the local pub, the river but not my business location. Any ideas, thanks.

    Read the help menu on Instagram.....you have to create the location on Facebook first before it shows up on Instagram. The help menu gives you detailed instructions on how to do it.
