Facebook will suggest the categories you should choose. You can change these later. Fill out your address and phone number. You can choose whether this information is public. You can also choose to share your contact information with the world. To continue, follow the steps below. Once you&#8217;ve completed the information, you&#8217;re ready to begin building your Facebook community.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_a_community_around_your_business_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Building a community around your business on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the power of Facebook&#8217;s social media features to build a community around your business. When people become members of your community, they are more likely to spread the word. You can reward existing community members with something they can use or purchase, or even give them a discount code. This organic networking will help you build a web of people who are likely to become target members. Here are some tips on how to get started:<\/p>\n<p>Creating valuable content is vital to building a Facebook community. Content must be original and relevant to your visitors&#8217; interests. Use images, videos, infographics, and emojis. News and videos are also great for creating a strong community. Share news, tips, and other relevant content that your visitors will find interesting. You will be surprised at how fast you can build a community around your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Managing_your_page\"><\/span>Managing your page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a business owner and are wondering how to manage your Facebook page, then you have come to the right place. Facebook provides several tools that can be used to manage your page. Facebook business manager is one such tool. The administrator panel allows you to access company assets and assign roles to employees and partners. But this doesn&#8217;t mean you should hand over the ownership of the page to a third party. If you&#8217;re not comfortable taking full ownership of the page, then leave it up to an agency to handle it for you.<\/p>\n<p>Managing your business page on Facebook requires a bit of time. Managing your page isn&#8217;t as complicated as it seems. First, you need to choose a name for the page. You can choose to have a page name that&#8217;s easier to remember. In addition, you can add a mission statement or link to your page. These links will help people find you on Facebook and provide additional context to your followers. This mission statement will be displayed on your right-hand sidebar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_profile_picture_and_a_cover_photo\"><\/span>Uploading a profile picture and a cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Uploading a profile picture and cover photo is essential for promoting your business on Facebook. Make sure you use a high-quality logo for your profile picture. You can also combine it with your cover design. Your profile picture must be large enough to stand on its own without crowding up the rest of your page. Also, remember that people will only see the full-size version of your picture when they visit your timeline. Optimizing your small-sized version is even more important.<\/p>\n<p>Select the best profile picture for your page. Make sure that it&#8217;s at least eighty pixels wide by three-hundred pixels. Mobile users will see the thumbnail version, which is only 32 pixels tall. Choose a high-quality photo that&#8217;s less than 100 KB, and remember to upload a new profile picture every day! Your cover photo will be the most visible element on your Facebook page. It should represent your company well and be in keeping with the branding you&#8217;re trying to project.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Managing_your_ads\"><\/span>Managing your ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can manage your Facebook ads using the Business Manager. You can link your Facebook business pages to the account. However, you can&#8217;t delete ad accounts once they&#8217;re set up. You can only add accounts you own or client accounts you control. You can add more than one account for your business. Managing your ads on Facebook can be challenging. However, it&#8217;s possible to make it easier for you.<\/p>\n<p>To manage your Facebook ads, go to the Business Manager and choose the &#8220;Manage&#8221; option. Here you&#8217;ll find the People section. In the People section, click the Add People button. This will prompt you to add users to your account. Click the Add button in the upper right corner of the People column to add a new account. This will open a dialog box that walks you through the account settings.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jz3Xalbx-sQ\" height=\"304\" width=\"544\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Set Up a Business Account on Facebook The first step in setting up a business account on Facebook is to fill out the information about your business.
