How to direct FB comments to your PAGE!

Facebook has a little known setting called "Use Facebook as...", which I'm noticing many agents are not taking advantage of.

If you comment, like, or interact on Facebook your profile is linked. When people want to learn more about you, chances are they end up on your "personal" profile rather than your "business page." This is because you are using Facebook as [Your Personal Profile], however, you can change this setting and get more people directed to your Business Page with one simple click. Here's how to do it:

Open the Admin Panel in your Business Page. Then select Manage. At the bottom you can select "Use Facebook as ...", select this.

Use Facebook As

Now, when you leave a comment your profile is linked to your Page and NOT your personal profile. This is an easy way to direct traffic to your Page and get more "likes".

I hope you enjoy!

Update 11/16: Facebook is intergrating a new PAGE interface so some of you might or might not see this new "voice" feature. It's simply an even easier way to switch to your Fan Page profile.

If you see the new "voice" interface, you'll notice "Manage" is no longer there. You can switch to your fan page profile either through Voice or by selecting Edit > "Use Facebook As..."

Here's a screenshot of the new interface:

WOW! I didn't know I needed this. Very nice to know; I've made the change (not without a slight struggle as my headers didn't look like yours). THANKS!

I received a great question from Janine that I'd like to share:

You've received a contact message from your Contact Form on the ActiveRain network.

Loved you input on the admin using Facebook as .....
however my question is how to not let personal stuff get on the business page do I have to change the admin each time I log on?

RESPONSE

Hi Janine,

That's a great question. By using "Use Facebook As (your business page)" you'll prevent personal stuff getting on your Fan Page. A good routine is to log into facebook and immediately check your fan page. Once there, switch to USE FACEBOOK AS, then handle all your 'professional' social media and get that out of the way. When done, switch back to your personal profile and chat with your friends. This will prevent any overlap of content.

I hope this helps!

Dear Reuben,

This would be the only way I would use Facebook much, but too busy in general right now.

As the comments clearly show, there are pluses and minuses to this concept. The weakness seems to be in Facebook's limitations itself.
