Start at the Beginning When Using Facebook Business Page Tips

You should approach Facebook marketing for your small business like you do any undertaking – start at the very beginning (it’s a very good place to start).

For example, after you create a Facebook page for your business, what’s the next step? It should be adding important business details to your page – details like your business’ name, contact info and web address. That may seem obvious however, many businesses miss this step, believing that the profile and cover photos are enough when neither gives Facebook the information it needs to add you to their search index by name or location.

After you’ve got those details squared away, it’s time to invite folks to like your page. Again, this may seem straightforward however, a Facebook friend does not a Facebook fan make. If they don’t fit your target audience, then you may want to leave them of the invitation list.

From there you need to figure out how often to post to your page, what to post in order to engage your fans and how to attract new fans from the millions of Facebook users whom you have not yet met.

Seems like a lot, but it’s all doable if you go one step at a time. Start today with the 10 tips in the video above.
