One of our most commonly received questions relates to Facebook business pages. Much confusion arises from the fact that the process for creating a business page is slightly different from creating a personal profile. As such, when we are asked about login details and passwords for a business page, it can all become a little confusing.
The most important thing to note is that in order to either set up a Facebook business page or gain admin access (be able to update the page yourself), you must first have a personal account. Only then will you be able to work with a business page.
If you do not have a personal account yet, pleaseย click hereย and then follow the instructions under the heading โCreating Your New Accountโ. Once you have done this, you will be ready for set up your Facebook business page.
Please see below for detailed instuctions.
What You Will Need To Set Up Your Facebook Page
- A name for your Page and a blurb about your business:ย Your Page name can be your business name or another name that people may search for to find your business. Use the About section to tell people a little bit about what your business does.
- A profile photo and cover photo:ย Choose photos that represent your business well. You can use your logo as your profile photo and an image of your shop, products or one from a current marketing campaign as your cover photo.
- The action that you want people to take when they come to your Page:ย At the top of your Page you can add a call to action that directs your Page visitors to do something, such as visit your website or phone your shop. Adding a call-to-action button is as easy as a few clicks.
