How to set up a Facebook Business page

It doesn’t take long to create a Facebook Business page. What takes time is posting content regularly and engaging with other pages and businesses. But if you’re keen to give your small business more visibility, follow these five simple steps to publishing a Facebook page.

Step 1: Name your business

The first step to creating your page is giving it a name. This should be your business name or a name that explains what your business is about. If you’re still deciding on your business name, see what our Business Name Generator comes up with.

Add a category (or three). It’ll come up with some suggestions when you type in the box, for example ‘bakery’ or ‘café’.

Next, describe your business. What services do you offer? Why should someone follow or like your page? Keep it short as you only have space for 255 characters (about two sentences).
