Create a Page for your Business

http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

Or search “create” in your fb search bar

Or find a page you like and go to the bottom:
“Create a Page for My Business”


You must have a personal page
in order to create a business page.


You Could be Shut Down

“Profiles represent individuals and must be held
under an individual name, while Pages allow an
organization, business, celebrity, or band to
maintain a professional presence on Facebook.
You may only create Facebook Pages to represent
real organizations of which you are an authorized
representative. “


1. Establish your Name / Brand / Intent before Starting

• A strategy is important

• facebook will not let you change the name of your page
so get it right the first time.

• Designate a backup administrator


1. For all Non Profits and Small Business Owners
Be sure to click

“Local Business” – Not “Brand”

1. This will let give you an additional information
box on your home page

3. Or you end up with only a “founded in” box


2. Photo / Logo Size

• Expand beyond your Photo / Logo

• Avatar of your Logo displays at 200 pixels wide by 520 deep


2. Sizes

200 x 500 px

200 x 545 px

200 x 600 px
