Last Updated: September 19, 2018

Facebook is one of the most popular social sites in the Internet. People use it to connect with friends and family; companies use it to promote their products. If you have a business and want to promote it on Facebook, just create a Facebook page. A Facebook page is a public profile that cannot make friends but can have fans who like the page or the purpose of the page. If you’re unable to make a Facebook page from the website, you can make one using the Facebook app on your Android device anytime, anywhere!

Select a subcategory. As soon as you select a category for your page, you will then be asked for a subcategory in the same pop-up window. Subcategories are shown below the name of your Facebook page. Type in keywords to get related subcategory options.
- In example, if the Facebook page is for an IT company, you may select some software solution as a subcategory. If it’s for a restaurant, you can have the cuisines it offers as a subcategory.

Tap “Get started” at the bottom. This will create the Facebook page, but you will still need to add a description to it.

Add a description. A new pop-up will appear where “Step 1” and “Step 2” are written at the top. Since “Step 1” is blue in color, that means you are on “Step 1.”
- In first block, write a little about the person, business, or product you have created the Facebook page for.
- In the next block, enter the website URL of the business/person/product. This will link fans directly to the website from the Facebook page.

Click “Save Info” at the bottom. You will then be taken to Step 2.

Complete “Step 2.” The “Step 2” heading at the top will now be in blue. Here you can generate a unique web address for your page so that people can directly access it on Facebook.
- Once you are done, tap on “Set Address” at the bottom.
- You also have the option to skip this step by clicking the “Skip” button, but it is advisable to have a Facebook web address.
- Once you’ve set the address, you will be taken to your new Facebook page.

- The cover photo adds beauty to your page. It is a constant reminder of how extraordinary and exceptional your business is.
- It is recommended to upload cover photos that are high resolution and will not become pixelated. The size specification is 850px × 315px.
- Try to upload an image related to the Facebook page you have just created.

Invite friends. Now that your new Facebook page is created, it’s time to let your friends know about it!
- Tap “Invite friends to like this Page,” and a list of your Facebook friends will appear. Scroll through the list, and tap the “Invite” button next to the friends’ names you’d like to invite.
- Inviting friends increases the page’s visibility. The more people see your page, the more audience/customers you will most likely get. You will eventually get more exposure, and you can tell more people about your business.
