I suggest you ...

'Possibly a tricky one, but the ability to specify language/country on Facebook page updates' has been merged into this idea

Add the ability to target a Country or Language in Facebook Fan Page Post

When you post on a Fan page from Facebook, you can specify a language or a country, which is useful for large fan pages. The feature is not in Hootsuite which is the reason we don't use your tool now.

        I agree with all the posts below! So disappointed that this basic feature is not included in the Pro Version we paid for. + my boss asked for the Enterprise version to be set up but apparently never got contacted by you :/ now we are really struggling to cope with our local postings and have to think of another platform if we want to deliver geo-targeted postings.

        This is an essential addition for my group to consider using Hootsuite Pro....currently I can't publish any Facebook posts whatsoever, as they won't be directed to correctly targetted users, based primarily on location and then language.

        Is there any plan to include this in the Pro-plan?

        Could it be purchased as a 'bolt-on' for pro users?

        Yes, I recently switched to Hootsuite from another platform and am very disappointed that this is not included in the pro version. May have to go back to the other platform as geo-targeting is crucial in our updates. It would be excellent if Hootsuite added this feature to the pro plan.

        It would also be great for people that would post to any of the humor-intended languages, such as Facebook's English (Pirate).

        I'm planning to use hootsuite for large brands with huge Facebook fanpages. But without this feature it's quite useless... With your icon and the post via, this could be a huge potential for hootsuite -> free commercial!

        Paid for Pro hoping this would be part of it. Would pay again, if it was addded.

        This is becoming a must have! I now need to start looking at other apps to do that and I would prefer to to stick to Hootsuite

        DEFINITELY!!! I used geotargetting effectively during the Rage Against The Machine vs Simon Cowell campaign. I always had to leave hootsuite to do this *sad face*
