How to Setup Your Business Facebook Page
View more documents from MayeCreate Design
Step One: Getting Started.
To get started with creating your own page, simply log into your account, go to the bottom of the page, and click Create a Page.
Step Two: Pick your type.
You have a choice of what type of page you want to create. When you click on the type of page that fits your needs, you’ll be required to fill out specific information and agree to the Facebook Pages Terms. For this example, we’ll take you through creating a Company, Organization, or Institution.
The process for all the other types of pages is similar, you’ll just be required to enter different information for different types of pages.
Once you’ve identified the category your business should be placed, along with the name of your business, you’re ready to start customizing your page. The customization process for a Facebook page is very similar to customizing your own personal Facebook profile.
Facebook helps you through the customization process by giving you a list of things you should do to get started.
Step Three: Add your information.
If you chose the wrong category when you set up your page, you can always update that at the very top of the page. You should also choose an image or create a custom image that expresses who your business is and what it does.
Once you’ve uploaded an image, the next thing you should do is fill in the descriptive information for your company. Your page profile should be as complete as possible before you start promoting it to your friends and customers. If you click the “Edit Page” button at the top right-hand corner of the page, you’ll be shown a list of settings and descriptive fields that you can fill in.
Step Four: Your Settings.
If you create a Facebook page using your personal Facebook profile account, you’ll have the option to use Facebook as the page, rather than as yourself as you surf around to other people’s profiles and pages. The first setting is where you can decide if you want to use Facebook as your page when you are posting status updates and comments or not, regardless of whether or not you’re using Facebook as your page or as yourself.
Step Five: Manage Permissions.
This is where you can decide which users on Facebook can see your page, and what they can see on your page.
Step Six: Basic Information.
This is where you can fill in the details of your business.
Profile Picture is where you can update the image that appears as your avatar.
Manage Admins is where you can add other people who you’d like to have control over your page.
You won’t need to worry about the other tabs until you start interacting with other users and pages on Facebook. Then, you’ll be able to click on the Insights tab to see detailed statistics about interaction and demographic information of the user who are engaging with your page.
NOTE: As you’re going through the list of fields to fill in, be sure to click the “Save Changes” button often. You don’t want to lose any of the work you’ve done due to a server error or power outage!
Everything you fill out on your page can be updated or changed at any time by logging in and clicking the “Edit Page” button.

Step One: Sign up.
Go to www.facebook.com
Follow the steps completing each field with your First Name, Last Name, Email, Password and demographic information. Click on the green Sign Up box.
A screen will appear with a different security check
Type the text you see in the box and click on the green Sign Up box. Don’t worry if you have trouble reading the text – they give you more than one chance.
Step one will help you find friends that are already on Facebook by utilizing your email accounts. It is a quick and easy way to get started adding friends to your Facebook account. You can skip this step and come back to it if you do not want to do it in the beginning.
Step Two: Building your profile.
Building your profile will help your friends find you from past education or work experience. The more complete your profile is the easier it will be to find and communicate with old and new friends.
Next it will ask you about your hometown, so people you grew up with can find you more easily.
You have an opportunity in the About Me section to write a little bit about yourself that you want your Facebook friends to know.
Step Three: Profile Picture.
You will receive an email confirming your account. Click on the link they provide and it will confirm that the email you provided is accurate. Now you are ready to go!
Check out the Facebook Help page if you get stuck.

Read what some of the participants and winners said to boost your confidence even more.
- One of the winners came in and said “brilliant marketing scheme by the way”
- “We have had over 100 Crawlers from just this afternoon! We don’t know about you, but 100 hits to a website is INCREDIBLE for only a couple hours!”

Thanks to one of our clients needing a bit of assistance with setting up their custom url for their business page on Facebook.com, we are now a little bit smarter about the inner workings of Facebook’s privacy settings.
Back in June we posted instructions on how to get a personalized url for your facebook page (see post). Today we learned that business pages also have to have a person attached to them in order to define a custom url. So, if you are one of those businesses that is using a business email address to login and edit your business page… you may want to consider attaching the page to a user. If you don’t, you will probably have trouble adding admins to the business profile/page.
How to attach a business page to a person… or save yourself some time and just create a page for a celebrity, band or business:

In recent discussions with business associates I’ve noticed a restlessness in Facebook users. They feel like it’s too much right now. And that other users are over using the medium. Having heard these feelings it came as no surprise that Bnet released an article about the reasons that Facebook’s amazing numbers may not stay that way and may not be all them seem.

I’ve been noticing that links to our clients facebook pages are really long and silly. Plus as they make updates to the facebook system sometimes those links change and then we have to go out and fix them. But you have another alternative! For your facebook page, you have the option to get a static URL.
