Check-in

A check-in is a way of location tagging a social media post to indicate where the user is, or where the content in the post was created.

It’s a way of showing followers that you have physically visited a geographical location or event. It can be particularly useful to check in at large, high-profile events, since it can help people connect in the real world while also providing credibility and demonstrating that you’re an insider in your industry.
