Create a Facebook Page

A key part of being able to run Facebook advertising is having a Facebook Page for your business. Don’t have one? No problem. This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Before we get started, there is one pre-requisite: You must have a personal Facebook account. If you’ve got one of those, move on. If not, swing by https://www.facebook.com and set one up, then come back here.

Have a personal Facebook account now? Great!

You’ll also need a few more things to be able to complete your business page setup.

Your business name and description
- Use your real business name whenever possible.
- Write a short description of your business that you can use to fill out the About section of your business page.
A profile photo for your business
- Make it 170 pixels by 170 pixels for best results.
- Use your logo if possible unless your business trades on your personal image. In that case, use your picture.
A cover photo
- Size your image to 720 pixels by 315 pixels.
- Choose a photo of your office, store, staff, or current marketing campaign.

It’s the difference between this :

https://www.facebook.com/Amazing-Insurance-Agency-917083178496674

or this:

https://fb.me/amazinginsuranceagency

Start by clicking Create Page @Username.
