If you have not created a Facebook Page yet, it is time you setup a page right now. Let us show you why you need it and how you can get one. Although there are plenty of reasons to have a Facebook Page, we will share top 3 reasons with you to have one.
Why you need a Facebook Page
1. More than 800+ million users
There are huge numbers of people on Facebook, most of them log in daily. Not using a platform used by millions of people is not a smart thing to do. For instance in the Netherlands there are nearly 6 million users, while in the UK there are more than 30 million people on Facebook. Find out how many people are using Facebook in your country
2. Google loves it
A Facebook Page is visible to everyone on the internet, which means that Google (and other search engines) pick up the information. Most people don’t look further than the first page of their search results, so it is really important that you fill up the first page with as many relevant links.
3. Detailed analytics
With a Facebook Page you can closely monitor what content is being liked/shared/commented by your “likers”. This allows you to understand what they want and how you can cater to their needs. For instance if you publish a monthly magazine, you can test the content on your Facebook Page. You will easily find out which content is appreciated and which you better of not using. Of course there are plenty more things you can achieve with Facebook analytics.
How can you get a Facebook Page
1. Login to Facebook
First step is to login to Facebook with your ‘Personal’ profile. Most people are concerned that this may create a ‘privacy issue’, but do not worry, a Facebook page will never reveal the person behind a Facebook Page (unless you want it to).
2. Set up your Page
Next step is to set up your page. This part is mostly administrative. Open a blank screen in your web browser (new window in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc) and paste the following link http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
Now Facebook will ask you a few questions, fill them in as accurately as possible and complete the process.
3. Customise your Page
Once your page is on line, make sure you add as many details as you can. If you can, try to customise your page. Customising your Page increases the chances of people liking your page when they visit. If you need inspiration, have a look here
