Despite its many hiccups of late, Facebook is still considered one of the largest and most popular<\/a> social media networks in the world. Not surprisingly, they were also the first social media network to pass the 1 billion user threshold<\/a>, and now, they currently sit comfy at a reported 2.23 billion registered users. Other social media giants with over a billion registered users include WhatsApp at 1.5 billion and Instagram just at the billion mark. However, do you know who owns WhatsApp and Instagram?

With all these figures working in their favor, it\u2019s no wonder that any social media marketing agency you work with, will generally recommend that you set up a Facebook page for your business. It sounds easy enough, but once you\u2019re ready to get started, you might find yourself wondering how to make a Facebook page for a small business. This guide will walk you through the ins and outs of creating a Facebook page, whether you\u2019re a B2B or B2C business. Now, let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/h2>\n

What is a Facebook Business Page?<\/h2>\n

Many small business owners make the rookie mistake of creating a personal Facebook account for their company. However, personal Facebook accounts are much different from Facebook pages. From looks to functionality, they serve entirely different purposes and allow you to interact with potential and current customers in entirely different ways.<\/p>\n

It is important to note, however, that you will need a personal Facebook account to create and manage a business page. It is best to use your actual personal account to do so. That way, you won\u2019t miss important updates and notifications as these are usually streamlined with your personal page notifications to reduce the likelihood of you missing them.<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/h2>\n

Why Do You Need a Facebook Business Page?<\/h2>\n

For brands that have already made thousands of connections for their business via a personal page, making the switch can seem like a waste of time. However, the sooner you upgrade to a professional business page, the better.<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s start with a few reasons why using your personal profile as your business account is a bad idea.<\/p>\n
