Hello All,

Im new (ish) to Facebook Pages, I created one last year and dont do a lot with it. So here is my question. and hopefully it will grow into a good topic.

My Facebook Page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pristine-Cleaning/125715280810869?ref=tn_tnmn

What would you recommend I do to develop it if I were your client.  Im interested in ideas from the design and from what kind of content I should add in order to attract more “Likes”.

All ideas are welcome.

THanks

John

Thanks

hmmmmm, anyone know how I fix that ?

@johnpristine … You have a profile here rather than a page. So you have set this up as if it is a person With a first name of Pristine and a second name of Cleaning, rather than as a business page. You have got 118 people to ‘friend’ it, but if it was real biz page they would be fans rather than friends. There is not 100% agreement about this in these boards but my first recommendation would be to convert it to a page ASAP.About the business… In my opinion a cleaning service is a tough business to pitch on FB. Not impossible, but tough. Do you have a great (and clean!) sense of humor? Can you build a following with doctored photos and cute stories that do not reveal any names?I recommend that you take a couple weeks to research this a bit. Do it by finding other cleaning service on FB. follow them for a week or two. See what they are doing ‘right’. Comment on their posts, get involved… You will not be stealing their work if you share it rather than copy it. I would set up a FB list on your personal profile, where you can go once a day to look at all the posts by all the businesses you are following… Do this for a couple weeks to see what works in your industry. Here are a couple of posts I did that might help with lists and sharing.http://www.abigailgorton.com/2011/10/29/facebook-lists-let-me-count-the-ways-in-which-i-love-you/http://www.abigailgorton.com/2011/11/02/following-sharing-passing-it-forwards/

@johnpristine I can’t find your page anywhere on Facebook. I found a AAA Pristine Cleaning page though! Is your page set to view only by you? Check your settings and let me know.

Eureka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the page set to only be viewed by people in Ireland, I have changed this now to view by all.  So lets try this.

@johnpristine The question I would have for you, if you were a client: Why? Why are you on Facebook with a business page? Is Facebook the best way to reach present and potential clients?

Are you seeking to increase awareness for your services, or engage with your client base? Do you want this page to become a discussion forum, or you will simply use it as a broadcast media?

Answering why will lead you to develop the what, the when and the how. Perhaps Foursquare is a better option (don’t know how popular that is in Ireland), or Yelp or another local social network. Do you have a web site? a blog?

The worse thing anyone can do is to open up a Facebook page, just “because everybody else does”. Define your strategy and goals, then you can start thinking about tactics (some of which have been mentioned by @abigailgorton @casmccullough already)

Hope this helps. Cheers,

You need more pictures and I would recomend using static html app. to create a services tab and maybe a references or raving fan page…if you need help you can message me and I’ll see what I can do.
