LET’S TRY
TOGETHER
21. GROUP VS.
PAGE
Groups: provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared
interests. Groups can be created by anyone.
Privacy: In addition to an open setting, more privacy settings are available for groups. In secret
and closed groups, posts are only visible to group members.
Audience: Group members must be approved or added by other members. When a group
reaches a certain size, some features are limited. The most useful groups tend to be the
ones you create with small groups of people you know.
Communication: In groups, members receive notifications by default when any member posts
in the group. Group members can participate in chats, upload photos to shared albums,
collaborate on group docs and invite members who are friends to group events.
Pages: allow real organizations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly
with people who like them. Pages may only be created and managed by official
representatives.
Audience: Anyone can like a Page to become connected with it and get news feed updates.
There is no limit to how many people can like a Page.
Communication: Page admins can share posts under the Page’s name. Page posts appear in
the news feeds of people who like the Page. Page admins can also create customized
apps for their Pages and check Page Insights to track the Page’s growth and activity.
Groups are
close circles of
people & can be
private
Pages allow
companies or people
who are an official
rep to share info
22. BENEFITS OF
PAGES & PLACES
• Not supposed to be using personal accounts for business purposes. That's exactly
why Facebook created Pages.
• Benefits of joining Groups:
• Posting messages to the group (emailed and on the site timeline)
• Posts can be private
• Can be created by anyone interested in promoting around a specific cause
or interest
• Benefits of using a Page: having a Page provides you with the most ability (and
tools) to engage with an audience.
• “Like” a Page or Place and get updates from that organization
• Can post Wall posts, photos, videos, blog posts, and a ton of other
information on it
• Pages are accessible to the general public and come up in an internet
search
• Links to your website is offered- serves as gateway to your business
• Send updates to all your likers at once- Groups has limit to 5K
Page is a
business
Place is a business
with a location listed
23. WHERE TO FIND THE OPTION TO
CREATE A PAGE
