You can select Business, Brand, Community, or Public Figure. Most for-profit businesses will want to choose the Business category. Make sure that the name of your page is the same as your company name and that your category reflects what you do. Once you have decided on a category, you can add content to your page and schedule posts to promote your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_a_cover_video_to_your_Facebook_business_page\"><\/span>Add a cover video to your Facebook business page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Social media has become a huge phenomenon, and Facebook is one of the most popular platforms for social media marketing. While traditional static images will likely still be effective, adding a cover video to your Facebook business page will attract more viewers. Facebook cover videos are especially effective in helping your target audience understand your product or service. Here are some tips to increase the number of viewers viewing your Facebook cover video. Read on to learn how.<\/p>\n<p>The size of the video that you upload should fit the space that Facebook offers on its cover page. It must be between 20 and 90 seconds long and have a minimum resolution of 820 x 312 pixels. The file must be short enough to be viewed on mobile devices with slow internet connections. If your cover video exceeds this limit, you can trim it down before uploading it to Facebook. To make a video longer, you can use a shorter version of the video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_a_profile_picture_and_a_cover_photo\"><\/span>Upload a profile picture and a cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To set up a business page on Facebook, you must have an account with the social networking site. Once you have registered, you must upload a profile picture and a cover photo. If you&#8217;re new to social media, you can choose to upload pictures instead of videos. Pictures are also easier to upload than videos. In addition, Facebook allows you to add call-to-action buttons that can help generate leads and sales.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a website, you can also upload a profile picture and a cover image. Choose a cover photo that is representative of your business. To create a cover photo that reflects your brand identity, use a stock photo from your website or a photo taken at a recent event. A cover photo can also include your company logo. If you&#8217;re not sure where to get a high-quality cover photo, you can use an online service called Canva.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_social_media_posts_on_your_Facebook_business_page\"><\/span>Schedule social media posts on your Facebook business page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Schedule social media posts on your Facebook business page is one of the best ways to increase your presence on the social network. You can write and schedule posts on the business page for various times of the day. You can also add photos, tags, emoji, and other content to your posts. After you&#8217;ve completed the post, tap Next to save it. Once you&#8217;re ready to publish, select a date and time to publish it.<\/p>\n<p>To schedule posts, go to the Posts tab and select the &#8220;Scheduled&#8221; drop-down menu. Here, you&#8217;ll find your scheduled post. Click the three-dot menu next to the post to change its content. To reschedule it to another time, click Reschedule Post. Otherwise, you can Publish Post now, edit it, or delete it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connect_with_other_businesses_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Connect with other businesses on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a product or service to sell, connecting with other businesses on Facebook can help you generate more leads. These social media sites are growing quickly, so you should take advantage of this to increase your Facebook presence. Listed below are some tips to help you grow your business on Facebook. To increase your reach, you should follow other business Pages and comment on their posts. By doing so, you will create an online community centered around your business. For example, a bankruptcy attorney might connect with an accountant&#8217;s Page, while a plumbing service might do the same. By connecting with other Pages, your fans will see your posts on their news feeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Set Up a Business Page on Facebook In order to set up a Facebook page for your business, you must first decide on a category for your page.
