Not sure what you mean, @tasgolabruner – are you talking about should we Like pages? 

I’ll try to address your questions.

1.  Yes.  You can set up your biz page so connections have to Like the page to see the content.  You do that in your settings.  A Welcome page can be set up with an iFrame application and FB pulls the page content from a URL outside of FB, on the internet into the iFrame and that is what the visitor sees (but you need to have some design experience and html knowledge to do this).  Or you can use free or paid applications yourself where they offer templates where you can basically upload images and text into the template boxes to create your page.  Once you have done either of the above, you have to go into your Settings to make the Welcome Page the default where new visitors will land.  Once they hit Like, they can see the content on your business page.

2.  Facebook search cannot find your business page?  The best way to set up a business page is to create it from your personal account.  And you can create a link in the description under your name on your personal page which will take the people you are connected to straight to your Welcome Page on your biz page.  Look at my personal page:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=600761286#!/diane.coville and look at the description below my name.  The link to my biz page is there.  (I always pick and choose who I connect to.  I always look to see if they are in business and check out their business page and often Like their page, depending on my interest.)

Not sure why people cannot find your biz page.  I would have to check it out to let you know.  Would be happy to have a “look see” at no charge to find out what the issue is.

Facebook Search is notoriously bad.  Sometimes I type in the EXACT name of a Page and Facebook still can’t find it.  So I don’t have a lot of great suggestions other than to add keywords and repeats your title in the Info tab.  

The other issue is that even with a “reveal” tab with “fan-only” content, people can always click on the wall and see your content.  There is no way to completely hide the wall from people since it’s a public page (unless you do something like country restrictions or age restrictions which would make people log into Facebook before viewing your Page to see if they lived in the right country or were the right age – I don’t recommend those).  

Some people won’t realize that you can click over to the wall before they click like.  

Yes, you are right, you can’t tag people in photos on a Fan Page, they have to tag themselves.

Hope that helps!  Let me know of I missed anything!

Thank you, Andrea and Susann! I’m still frustrated with facebook for the above reasons, but I don’t feel as stupid, ha, because now I know that what I’m experiencing is what others experience, not something I was doing wrong or could do better. Whew.

Yeah, Andrea, I’m counting on those people who won’t see the wall before they click “like” – so I can get my numbers up. Oh, the things we do for “likes.”

This is such a great resource! Thank you, thank you!
