After setting up your business page, you will want to choose a profile picture and cover photo. Next, choose a username for the page. It is important to remember that your coworkers can view your profile, but they will not be able to see your personal profile. Make sure that they accept your friend request before they can see your business page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Facebook_Business_Page\"><\/span>Creating a Facebook Business Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a business owner, creating a Facebook Business Page can be a great way to boost search engine rankings. In addition to allowing businesses to publish content and promote events, Business Pages allow businesses to expand their operations. Setting up a Facebook Page is easy, and you can be up and running in no time. However, it&#8217;s important to note that only people who manage a Business Page should have personal profiles.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid accidentally publishing personal content, ensure that you assign the appropriate roles to your employees. Make sure that you give training to people who will be responsible for posting on Facebook. This way, they&#8217;ll know what is acceptable and what&#8217;s not. Then, make sure they don&#8217;t post anything they&#8217;d never share in public. Once everyone is on the same page, the business page will be accessible by both employees and customers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_profile_picture\"><\/span>Adding a profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re opening a business Facebook account, you&#8217;ll want to include your business&#8217; profile picture in the top left corner. Facebook will suggest a category for your business, but you can add more later if you wish. When adding a profile picture, be sure to keep the recommended dimensions in mind. Then, you&#8217;ll want to choose whether you want your information to be public.<\/p>\n<p>Your profile picture will be the first thing people will see when they visit your page, so make it as memorable as possible. Your picture will appear as an icon in your News Feed and when you comment on other posts. On desktop and mobile, you can choose to have a larger profile picture if you&#8217;d like, but you&#8217;ll have to adjust its dimensions to make it fit. When uploading a cover photo, remember that it takes up much more space, so be sure to choose an image that captures the essence of your business. Your cover picture should be at least 820 pixels wide on desktop and 640 pixels wide on mobile.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_cover_photo\"><\/span>Adding a cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a cover photo to a Facebook account is an important way to increase brand awareness and build brand recognition. Some cover photos incorporate subtle branding while others focus on motivational quotes. Whatever the case, it is important to choose a photo that will speak for itself and grab the attention of your target audience. To ensure that your cover photo reflects the image of your brand, use negative space around it to make it stand out from the rest of the page.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a great cover photo, you can now edit and change it to match the rest of the profile. To make it even more interesting, you can add a cover slideshow as an alternative. A cover slideshow allows users to view multiple cover photos to get a better idea of what your brand is all about. This will create more opportunities for engaging your audience while allowing you to highlight specific aspects of your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_username\"><\/span>Adding a username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a username to a Facebook business page can help your page stand out from the rest. Your username should be easy to find and say something about your business, such as @NetSourceInc. Choose a username that people will recognize and remember. Avoid using obscure words. People prefer easy-to-find names, such as @username. If your page cannot be found by your target audience, they&#8217;ll most likely follow your competition.<\/p>\n<p>Once your page has been created, you&#8217;ll need to give access to new employees. Facebook will automatically suggest a category for you, and you can always add more categories later. You&#8217;ll also need to provide a business address and phone number. In the future, you can select whether to make this information public. Adding a username to a Facebook business page can help increase traffic to your website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Linking_your_page_to_your_website\"><\/span>Linking your page to your website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When visitors view your website, they should be able to easily visit your Facebook page and like your fan page. To do so, you can add a link to your website in a text file. You will need a text editor and access to the server where your website is hosted. If you don&#8217;t have an HTML editor, you can use Notepad, which comes with Microsoft Windows computers. To link your Facebook page to your website, simply follow these instructions.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must ensure that your Facebook page is public. Unlike your personal page, your business Facebook page is for a specific audience and should be publicly viewable. To test this, copy the URL of your website and log out of Facebook. The link will be visible to any visitor to your page. The Facebook page you have created must be publicly visible. To check whether it is public, you can copy and paste the web address of your website.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lAKEddOEd00\" height=\"286\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Open a Business Facebook Account In this article, you will learn how to set up a Facebook page for your business.
