Setting up your Facebook Business Page

Unlike a personal profile, a Facebook business page is, by default, public. Users can “Like” and become a “fan” of your page without requiring approval from page administrators — a fantastic opportunity for your business to get discovered. Once you are logged into Facebook, you can (and should!) create a page of your own.

STEP 1.

Let’s start by clicking the button below and start creating your Facebook Business Page.

 [button color=”green” link=”http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php” newwindow=”yes”] Create a page of your own here[/button]

STEP 2.

When beginning your setup, you’ll need to first select a page type — select the one that best describes your business type if you are creating a facebook page for your website or blog you must select “website”from the category list. Then your company name.

STEP 3.

Facebook will then guide you through 3 core steps for creating your page.
The first includes a description of your business, a URL for your website, and a vanity URL for your business page. The description section will appear on your actual profile as a small 2-3 sentence blurb — keep it short and sweet.

STEP 4.

Next, upload a photo as the main visual on your business page. This will appear as an icon every time you comment as your business on Facebook.
