How to Create a FB Business Page

By Margorie Espe, Owner-LionSky – Digital Marketing Specialist – May 2, 2020 (Updated June, 2021)

If you have a business, you need a Facebook Business Page. With 1.82 billion daily active users, Facebook is simply not a social network you can ignore.

Perhaps that’s why more than 200 million businesses use Facebook’s free services. That includes business Pages—yes, creating a Facebook Page is a free way to market your business.

The good news is, creating a Facebook account for a business is pretty simple.

Step 1: Sign up

Go to facebook.com/pages/create.

Enter your business information in the panel on the left. As you do so, the page preview will update in real time on the right.

For your page name, use your business name or the name people are likely to search for when trying to find your business. (Usually Your Business Name) 

For category, type a word or two that describes your business and Facebook will suggest some options. You can choose up to three of the suggestions.

choose category for page name

Next, fill in the Description field. This is a short description that appears in search results. It should be just a couple of sentences (maximum 255 characters). (This is usually in your website’s About Us Section.)

When you’re happy with your description, click Create Page.

If you are hiring LionSky, you will now go to the Page Settings Section. You will go to Page Roles and then type in Margorie Espe Levandoski . We wiill need to be friends on Facebook for me to come up in your search. 

LionSky will handle it from here.
