Small Business Internet Marketing

One of the top trends besides mobile web browsing for small and local businesses is creating a business Facebook page for your small or local business.

I get a lot of requests that go like this, “How do I create a Facebook page for my business?” or, “Can you create a Facebook page for my business?” Does that sound like you? If it does sound like you then read this…

The first thing you need to understand is that a business Facebook page is called a ‘Fan Page’ on Facebook.

And Facebook only allows you to create a business Facebook Fan Page if you have a personal profile page. You can create just a facebook business page (Fan Page) but it is very limited in what you can do with and it’s really a waste of time. Because you want to be able to use some of the very robust applications and be able to get a unique URL for your business fan page.

First Step On How To Create A Business Facebook Page!

So the first step is to get a personal profile set up if you don’t already have one. Then, create a business page. You can find this link on the lower left of your profile page.

After you build your basic fan page get at least 25 fans of your business page because after you have at least 25 fans you can now go get a unique business fan page URL. But don’t grab any old URL. Get one that is search engine friendly.

The cool thing about Facebook is that if you build it right you will get free traffic to your business fan page. And since you can use applications that create a welcome page or a coupon page you can build your list and grow your business.

Secondly, take advantage of the local advertising that Facebook makes available. You can target your ads to locals and get them to become ‘fans’ of your business Facebook page and many will convert to new clients as well.

You do need to be active. You won’t be successful if you build a page and not post any fun, useful, and interesting posts. So either have someone do that for you or do it yourself.
