How to Set Up a Facebook Page for Business
Have you decided that it’s time to create a Facebook Page for your business?
Wondering exactly how to get your Page started the right way?
Facebook continues to change and evolve, making it a moving target for people trying to find the correct steps to set up a Page. But never fear—we have all the critical pieces that you need to put in place to start your Facebook Page today.
To set up your Facebook Page, just follow these steps:
#1: Log into Facebook
If you do not have a personal profile set up on Facebook, do that first at www.facebook.com. Even if you don’t want a personal profile, we highly recommend that you create one rather than creating a “business-only” Facebook Page because of the limitations you will encounter (see point #8 for the Business-only Page limitations).
Either login to your personal account, or create a new personal account from Facebook.com.

Facebook Graph Search Review: How it Works
Facebook recently announced Graph Search.
In this article I’ll share what Facebook’s Graph Search is, how it works and how it fits your marketing strategy.
What Is Graph Search?
Graph Search is Facebook’s latest revision to the search feature that helps users find connections to people and places that have always existed in the graph.

Watch this video introducing Facebook Graph Search.
Think about that for a moment. Facebook’s new Graph Search serves up personalized search results in real time based on a person’s graph, and it does this for over 1 billion people.
