To get your business on Facebook, you need to create a Facebook business page<\/strong>. Fortunately, the process is easy and straightforward and it only takes a few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n To set up a Facebook page for your business you\u2019ll need a logo, a cover image, and a brief description of your company. These are the minimum to establish your business presence on Facebook.<\/p>\n Once your page is up and running you can add more information and images to introduce your brand to Facebook users.<\/p>\n In this tutorial, you\u2019ll learn step-by-step how to make a Facebook business page and what to do once you\u2019ve created a page.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started with a basic definition of what a Facebook business page is and how it is used.<\/p>\n A Facebook business page gives businesses, brands, organizations, and public figures a place to share content and connect with people on Facebook.<\/p>\n Businesses can publish their stories, showcase their products, communicate with their customers on messenger, run events and advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n Facebook users can follow a business page to receive updates. They can also comment and like posts as they do on personal pages.<\/p>\n Business page administrators can use the business profile to follow other pages, comment, share, and like Facebook posts.<\/p>\n Other notable features of business pages include the \u2018Call to Action\u2019 button that is displayed below the cover image and it\u2019s always visible as users scroll through the page.<\/p>\n Another feature is the ability to verify the business address and domain, something particularly beneficial for local businesses.<\/p>\n Does a Facebook business page have to be linked to a personal account?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, in order to create a Facebook business page you need to have a Facebook personal account. Your personal account or details are not visible on the business page.<\/p>\n To create a Facebook Business page, follow the instructions below:<\/p>\n The first step is to log in to your personal Facebook account and then select Pages from the left menu.<\/p>\n Click the \u201c+Create New Page\u201d button.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t find this option, click here<\/strong><\/a> to go directly to the create a new page wizard.<\/p>\n The next step is to provide a name for your page. This will be shown on your business profile, browser window, and when commenting or using the page to communicate with users.<\/p>\n When choosing a page name you should note the following:<\/p>\n The next step is to choose one or more categories (up to 3) that describe your type of business or the main topic of the page.<\/p>\n To see which categories are available start typing words related to your business.<\/p>\n Choosing a relevant category is important for increasing your Facebook visibility. Facebook uses this info to show your page and updates to an audience that has shown interest in topics related to your page\u2019s categories.<\/p>\n The first category you choose will be shown on your page (below the page name) so make sure that it\u2019s the most accurate.<\/p>\n Describe what your page is about in 255 characters or less. Tell users what your business does and what services you\u2019re offering. The page description is shown by default on the left sidebar when users view your page.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re done click the \u201cCreate Page\u201d button to create your page and proceed to the next steps.<\/p>\n The next step is to add a logo (profile image) and a cover image.<\/p>\n To add a logo:<\/strong><\/p>\n Click the Photo icon as shown above and choose or upload your profile image.<\/p>\n To add a cover photo:<\/strong><\/p>\n Click the Edit icon as shown above.<\/p>\n The next step is to customize the call to action button. This is shown below the cover image and remains visible as users scroll through the page.<\/p>\n Click the \u201cEdit Action Button\u201d and choose one of the available options.<\/p>\n One of the most important steps when creating a business page on Facebook is to claim your unique username.<\/p>\n Your Page’s username appears below your page’s name and in the page’s URL.<\/p>\n When creating your page the first time, Facebook will assign a random username to the page that is not easy to remember nor does it help people find your page. By customizing your username, people can find your business but its name.<\/p>\n For example, our username on Facebook is reliablesoftnet<\/em> and our Facebook page URL is facebook.com\/reliablesoftnet.<\/em> This is friendly, easy to remember, and matches our domain name.<\/p>\n To change your username, click the \u201cEdit Page Info\u201d button from the left menu and then click the username box.<\/p>\n Type your desired username and click anywhere outside the box. Facebook will check if the username is available and valid. If it\u2019s accepted you will see a green checkbox or an error message in case there is an issue with your chosen name.<\/p>\n The guidelines for business page usernames are:<\/p>\n The next step is to review the rest of the options available in the \u201cEdit Page Info\u201d screen to provide additional information about your business, such as:<\/p>\n The final step is to familiarize yourself with the general page settings. To do this, look for the option \u201cSettings\u201d in the left menu.<\/p>\n Once clicked, you\u2019ll notice that there are several new options available for controlling different aspects of your page. You can go through the options one by one to review or change their settings.<\/p>\n In the majority of cases, you won\u2019t have to change anything but it\u2019s highly recommended to manually review all settings at least once.<\/p>\n Congratulations, you\u2019ve just created your first business page on Facebook! Now you\u2019re ready to publish your first post. Click the \u201cCreate Post\u201d button and publish your first business message.<\/p>\n At this stage, it is very likely that no one will see your post because the page has no followers.
