Facebook profiles are for personal use between individuals, while Facebook pages are meant for businesses, brands and organizations to communicate with customers. The key differences are that pages allow one-way interactions where people can like the page without permission, while profiles require mutual agreement between users. Additionally, pages allow businesses to post and share information to followers, while profiles allow two-way communication between friends. The document recommends that businesses use a Facebook page rather than a personal profile to better promote their brand and engage with customers.
2. Facebook profile vs page
There is a difference between how a Facebook profile works (which is
ment for person to person communication) and how a Facebook page
works (which is ment for brand to person to brand communication)
But what is it?
3. Facebook profile
A Facebook profile is meant to
represent a single individual and
is for non-commercial use.
A profile can post texts, photos,
videos, add profile and cover
photos and host events.
4. Facebook page
A Facebook page is meant for
brands, businesses and
organisations.
A page can post texts, photos,
videos, add profile and cover
photos and host events.
5. Facebook profile vs page
Both can post texts, photos, videos, add profile and cover photos and
host events.
So what is the difference?
6. Relationship
Facebook profile: When you become friends with someone that
relationship is 2way. Both need to agree to be friends.
Facebook page: The person can like a page without consent and a page
cannot become friends with a person.
7. Visibility
Facebook profile: They see what you post, you see what they post. It’s
an equal trade (though you might not see everything they post but that is
a whole another discussion.
Facebook page: They see what you post, you cannot see what they
post. Exception: you can see what they post when they do it on your wall
or tag you specifically.
8. Communication
Facebook profile: You both can communicate with each other, via wall or
private message.
Facebook page: The person can communicate with you via wall or
private message. You can only post to everyone (not able to tag
someone specifically) and you can only react to wall or private
messages when they started the conversation.
9. Facebook profile vs page
So, if you are a business, make sure you get a page! You can share
posts from your page to your profile so more people can see it if you
want to.
