With over 1.2 billion users and growing everyday, Facebook has a fantastic source of potential customers who are ready to discover you and your website. Which is why in this day in age it's crucial that you build a Facebook Page (previously known as a fan page) for your business. On this page we'll take an in depth look at how you can utilise this network and reap the benefits. How to create a Facebook pageFirst things first, you need to get yourself to Facebook and begin creating your page. (you will need a personal account to do this.
Head over to this address : https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/. On this page you have different choices of what type of Facebook page your about to create. Whether it's a place, company, brand, public figure, entertainment or cause, select the type of page which best suites you. It'll most likely be a company page so click on the 'company' picture. From here, you'll be asked to choose a category for your page (this helps Facebook list your page on their website and search results). Below this check box you'll need to enter your company name, this seems simple but once you've selected a name and clicked get started you wont be able to change it and it will permanently stay this way. Next, write a short description about your company. Keep it short but try and make it have an impact so it sticks in peoples minds. Think outside the box. Try not to write something too generic like "this is my business page, visit thisismywebsite.com for more". Try to capture your audiences imagination and maybe try to hit a funny bone. Put a swing on things, it can make a big difference.
The final step on this page is adding a website. Facebook provides a box which you can add in your website URL. This helps visitors on your page find a clickable link to your website. It's also a good idea to put a link in the description box too so you can be sure your 'fans' can find it easily. After you've selected 'save info' you can add a page picture. Obviously it's a good idea to add your logo.
Once you've decided on the perfect image to use on your page you'll go to the next page where you can decide on a personal Facebook URL, example; http://www.facebook.com/yoururl. It's a good idea to keep this short and sweet so that people can easily find your page in the future. Again, once it's saved, there's no changing it. And that's it! you now have a Facebook page!
