You can change the &#8220;Add Friend&#8221; button to something more relevant to your audience, or you can use another CTA button altogether. Either way, the follow button can be a powerful CTA, especially if you&#8217;re aiming to grow your audience. In this article, we&#8217;ll cover how to embed the follow button on your website or blog, and how to build a Facebook following for your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_Add_Friend_button_to_Follow_button\"><\/span>Change the &#8220;Add Friend&#8221; button to &#8220;Follow&#8221; button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t noticed, it&#8217;s easy to change the &#8220;Add Friend&#8221; button on Facebook so that it only shows up when you have mutual friends. This way, you&#8217;ll be more likely to attract more followers. People who don&#8217;t have any friends with you will see the Follow button only and won&#8217;t be able to send you friend requests. You can also hide the button on your profile if you&#8217;re not sure that you&#8217;ll want to keep people from following you.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally blocked someone from adding you as a friend, you can report them to Facebook support. If you&#8217;ve already sent a friend request, you can try cancelling it and bringing back the Add Friend button. Once you&#8217;ve unfollowed the person, they&#8217;ll no longer see your request and you won&#8217;t be able to add them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_Follow_button_to_a_different_CTA_button\"><\/span>Change the &#8220;Follow&#8221; button to a different CTA button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To increase the number of likes on your Facebook page, change the Follow button to another CTA button. The Follow button appears under your cover photo, right below your business name. The button can be changed to any CTA you want, except the send message button. While users will see both the Follow and Unfollow buttons on your Facebook page, administrators will only see one when they&#8217;re signed in, and both when they&#8217;re signed out.<\/p>\n<p>To change the &#8220;Follow&#8221; button to another CTA button on Facebook, make sure you set the privacy settings. Under &#8220;Who Can Follow Me?&#8221; set it to public so anyone can see your posts. Make sure you&#8217;re 18 or older to change your settings. This will ensure that only people who are 18 or older can follow you. This way, you can ensure that only people who are interested in your content can follow you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Embed_the_follow_button_on_a_website_or_blog\"><\/span>Embed the follow button on a website or blog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you own a website or blog, you can easily embed the follow button on Facebook on it. This social media icon can be customized for size and language. This way, it will extend the reach of your content. If you have an event, you can also use the hashtag for that event. To add a Facebook follow button to your website or blog, you need to include a product catalog.<\/p>\n<p>To embed the follow button on Facebook on your site, visit the Facebook API. You can find the following code. The plugin will generate the necessary HTML code for your website or blog. You can also choose the font family for the follow button. If you don&#8217;t want to change it, use the default font family. This way, your followers will see the same message as you. You can also use Facebook share buttons as a way to boost the visibility of your content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_a_following_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Build a following on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Building a following on Facebook is crucial for marketing your business.
