Steps of Facebook Marketing
Create a Facebook Business Page
You need to create a Facebook page to set up your social media presence. Facebook pages are similar to profile pages. You can add friends on your Facebook profile but there is a like button on your Facebook page. People can join your business page on Facebook by clicking on that like button. There is a risk of shutting down if you create a business personal profile instead of a business page.
To create a Facebook page, you can start by logging in to Facebook and going to create a page option. There you’ll have 2 options:
- Business or Brand
- Community or Public Figure
You need to choose according to your field. if you own a business then you will choose the business or brand option but if you are a public figure (actor, sportsperson, etc.) then you need to select the community or public figure option. You need to select the name of your Facebook page wisely because it will represent your brand in the future and it will be difficult to change the URL and name of the page. After creating a page when you click on the “get started” button, you will be redirected to the profile picture page. You can set your profile picture and cover photo right away or you can do it later. After setting or skipping the cover photo page, your Facebook page will be created and you can see the tips on how to describe your business.
Add Photos
You need to add a profile picture and a cover photo to give your page identity. It will be your page’s primary visual as it can be seen in search results and the News Feed along with the content. You need to upload a square image or else you’ll be redirected to crop it. Your profile picture and cover photo will be the first visuals that users will see and as you know “First impression is the last impression.” Choose something related to your business that can be easily recognized by users. You can update your cover photo according to your campaigns, deals, etc.
Add a Description
After setting your visual impressions, you need to add a short description of your business so that people can know what you do. Under the “Welcome to your new page”, there is a “add a description” button, you need to click on that to add two to three sentences about your brand. This description can be seen in search results so keep it succinct. You can also edit your information in the “about” section. You can add a phone number, email id, website link, etc.
Create a Username
The last stage on your welcome menu is to create a username. It will appear on your Facebook page custom URL. It is also called “vanity URL.” People can find your page by using a username without any difficulty. You’ll be given 50 characters to create a unique username.
Add Page to The Shortcut
You can add your page to the shortcuts mentioned on the left side of your profile’s vertical navigation bar. You can easily access your page by using the shortcut in the future.
Set up Facebook Page Roles
One of the additional features of a Facebook page is that you can add multiple people that can edit and manage your page. You don’t have to share your login credentials with them. You can designate the different levels of editing access. You can do that by setting up the page roles. You need to go to the settings and click on “Page Roles”. You’ll be given the following options:
- Admin: Admins have full command over the Facebook page. They can edit, add, or remove posts. they can also assign page roles. They have the authority to run ads.
