Is it clear what they do and what kind of company they are?
- 13. How to Build an Audience on Facebook
- 14. Optimise your Facebook Business Page Complete your bio and additional information • Use your brand voice • 255 characters to describe who you are and what you do.

First Impressions • The appearance of your FB is the first impression a visitor gets. • Cover photo should be a unique image/video/slideshow that represents your brand – Could be a photo of a popular product, your storefront, people that work at your business – clear and high resolution • Profile photo – LOGO – clear and high resolution • Call to action buttons – what do you want your audience to do on your page (better engagement e.g. Shop now) – right below the cover - test them and see which one works best.
- 17. Other things to Consider • Your page is the voice of your business on Facebook, and you want to make it as easy as possible for people to find it one of the ways is to Create a Facebook Username which is also connected to your Vanity URL (this way people can type into a web browser and easily find your page (e.g., Facebook.com/CentreforEntre) • This URL is automatically created by FB but can be customised and edited (Edit Page Info section) – FB will let you know if it’s taken but it’s worth trying a few options and see which one works best and claim your name ASAP
- 18. What other information can you add and customise for your audiences? • Page Info: name, username and description, categories, contact info, location, working hours • Templates and Tabs: you can customise (home, posts, jobs, events, reviews, videos, photos, about jobs…) – use the slider to activate or deactivate and drag and drop to rearrange order. Browse Facebook’s premade templates, including setups for venues, nonprofits, public figures, restaurants, and service-based businesses. • Page Roles – assign page roles (eg. Admin, editor) • Activity Log – track all comments so as not to stay out of touch with who is commenting where > click in the top right select settings and privacy then activity log OR via page settings
- 19. Posting Best Practice • Be Consistent. Plan what you’re going to post and when. Consider creating a ‘content calendar’ – Users get a sense of when they are going to hear from you • Post Timely Content. Piggyback on holidays and events. Great way to getting into the conversation that is happening in real time and your audiences are interested in. • Schedule both posts and story content using the Business Suite app. You can create image, video, or link posts; live streams; or stories. You can also cross-post select content to multiple Facebook pages or Instagram accounts,
- 20. Posting Best Practice • Keep it short and sweet. Make sure that posts have a central theme and get to the point. People scan posts/pages so short concise and punchy works best. • Share exclusive content. Offer deals unique to your Facebook audience that cannot be found anywhere else. It gives reasons to your audiences to stay engaged with your page
- 21. Posting Best Practice • Include a ‘Call to Action’. Add links to your content and include headlines that encourage your audience to click. Be authentic and honour your unique voice. E.g., show a behind the scene and show your audience what your brand is really about. Be engaging. Ask for feedback and always respond promptly to questions and comments. • Keep your profile up to date. Make sure you are keeping your details up to date to prevent confusion.
- 22. Build Your Audience Invite friends - customise the invite message and explain why they should like the page or invite in Messenger
- 23. Build your audience Share your page and get more people to like it
- 24. Mentions and tags • A Facebook Mention is when you write a post or comment and include a person or page’s name within the text. • A Facebook Tag is when you write a post and say you were with someone, or you share an image and let Facebook know that one of the people in the picture is another Facebook user. • Whenever you mention or tag someone, not only are you getting their attention, but also potentially putting that post in front of their connections and followers ( boost your reach). https://www.thesocialmediahat.com/blog/the-complete-guide-to-facebook-mentions-and-tags-for-people-and-pages/
- 25. Keep your audience engaged Ask your followers to go into Settings - select settings and privacy - then notifications - select pages you follow and enable push notifications (works for both pages and groups) and you are more likely to get seen Settings & Privacy > Notifications > Pages to follow > Push
- 26. Keep your audience engaged – create stories • Facebook Stories are photos or short video posts that appear in vertical format and disappear after 24 hours. • They live at the top of your audience's news feed. Photos appear for five seconds, and videos can be up to 20 seconds long. • Since Stories appear at the top of News Feed, they’re immune to the Facebook algorithm. • More than half a billion people view Facebook Stories every day. • Stories can offer a powerful way to connect with fans. • Be sure to use all the lenses and filters to make your content more attractive https://later.com/blog/facebook-stories
- 27. Page recommendations and reviews Simplified from previous 5 star rating (is being phased out) moving to ‘would you recommend’ Yes or no Categorised as: Most helpful or Most recent Select one or the other via the drop down to read what customers have to say about your business Three dots give you the options to: save the post Turn on notifications (so you can keep up to date with engagement for that review) To manage your recommendations or reviews, thank customers and address negative reviews if you get any.

- 29. Familiarise yourself with post options • Location (check-in) • messages on Messenger • Covid19 Updates • Add a feeling or an activity • Add photos/videos • Emojis • ‘Boost’ your post https://blog.hootsuite.com/how-does-facebook-boost- posts-work/
- 30. Pinning your post to top of your page • It appears before any other content on the page – when someone arrives to a page this would be the very first post they see – use it to highlight important content for your own audience. You can only pin one post at a time – it’s almost like creating a landing page!
- 31. Main types of posts you need to get started • Text • Photo • Video • Fb live • Link posts • Stories
- 37.
