Due to the fact that I have had the pleasure of making Facebook company pages as well as administrator profiles, I have decided to briefly and quickly explain how to create a company page because I get a lot of people asking me how to do this.

You should know that this post covers just the VERY basics on how you can make a company page if you already have a Facebook profile.

After you have made the administrator profile, or if you already have a Facebook account, making a Facebook company page for business is actually quite simple.  There are two ways you can start the process:

Look to the top right of your page and look to the downward facing arrow. Click the arrow, then “Account Settings.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After you do those actions you will be brought here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click the “Create a Page” link to do exactly what it says, “Create a Page.”

Or you can do it this way…

Click the “Pages” tab on the left side of your “Home” page:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will be brought here, then click “+ Create a Page”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either way you do it, you will be brought to this screen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At this point, you will need to pick which category best describes what you are looking to create your page as.  For example, if you are a local business, you would select “Local Business or Place.”

After choosing which is best, you will then be prompted to fill in the appropriate information.  Look at what I did to make a page for 1SEO.com:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After filling in all of the information you would then click the “Get Started” button.  After that, you will be brought to this screen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All you need to do at this point is enter the content it is asking for, or you can just skip the process altogether and go right to your page.  Either way, after either skipping or filling in the information, your screen will look like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to your page!  From this point on you can enter all the content you want by clicking the “Edit Info” button and doing just that!  Remember, creating your page is not like doing a heart transplant, so don’t get all wound up over what to do and what not to do.  Social media is supposed to be fun!  So, play around with your company page a bit before you start inviting people to “Like It.”  Also, make sure you get a groove on how to handle your page, and fill in whatever information you want to make it the best it can be.

Last but not least… What is that pesky “Get Started” screen all about?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing you can do about this “Get Started” screen, and don’t worry—your fans will NOT see it.  The Get Started” screen is just Facebook’s way of helping you GET STARTED with your page by offering suggestions on how to make it better.  Ultimately, it will disappear after you post more content, photos, and attain more fans.

Easy enough…

Although brief, I hope this “how to” guide helps!
