You probably have already joined Facebook, and created a profile there. Did you know you can also create a (FREE) Facebook Page for your business?
Go to http://www.facebook.com/business/ -- Click on Facebook Pages
Click Create a Facebook Page
Start creating the Page. Here's a little curiosity. The logical category for an agent or broker would be "Local Business" ->"Real Estate", right?
But if you enter your page in the Real Estate category, the detailed information page will not give you a box for "General Information". Huh? Only "Public Transit". While I love the environmentally conscious idea of throngs of people visiting my office via the light rail, I would also like to give a little general information about my company. What the heck. I just added the general information under Public Transit.
If you decide to call your company a "Brand, or Product",
... you get these fields for general information, but no field for location.
Oh well. Moving right along. Just go ahead and add/edit information. You can also add photos, videos, and events.
This one took me a while to figure out. Want to access your page again? Go to your Profile and look at the items in the left column. Click on Page Manager.
Need to delete a page? Click on Page Manager, go to the Pages tab. Click Edit Page
Then click Delete Page here
To create another, different page, click Page Manager, then look down at the bottom navigation, and click Businesses
It has taken me the last couple hours to sort through what should be simple navigation. Maybe this will save some time for someone else!
