Facebook Pages vs Profile
| One easy pitfall to avoid is creating the right type of profile for your business. In Facebook, users can create profile pages, group pages, event pages, and pages. You may be familiar with creating a profile page to connect with friends, relatives, and more. However, when we create a Facebook page for a business, we want to create a page. This is actually an important distinction.
According to Facebook, “Personal profiles are for non-commercial use and represent individual people. You can follow profiles to see public updates from people you’re interested in but aren’t friends with. Pages look similar to personal profiles, but they offer unique tools for businesses, brands and organizations. Pages are managed by people who have personal profiles. You can like a Page to see updates in News Feed.Keep in mind that each person who signs up for Facebook has one account with login information. Each account can have one personal profile and manage multiple Pages.” |
