How to Manage a Business Page on Facebook

Creating a business Facebook Page allows you to promote your company and its products and services and interact directly with the people who choose to "like" and subscribe to the page. After setting up your business Facebook Page, you can manage it from your personal Facebook account.



The Facebook page admin panel allows you to add or remove applications, set up restrictions and even appoint other administrators who will then have the necessary permissions to manage the page on your behalf. To manage a business Facebook Page you must be a page administrator.

1. Sign in to your Facebook account.

2. Click the down-arrow button on the far right of the top menu bar.

3. Select your Facebook Page from the list of pages in the "Use Facebook as" section of the context menu.

4. Click the "Edit Page" button in the Admin Panel at the top of the screen, and then select "Update Info" from the drop-down menu. If you can't see the Admin Panel, click "Show" in the top right corner of the screen.

5. Click to select the applicable button for the management feature you want to use from the menu on the left.

6. Select "Your Settings" to choose posting and notification preferences.

7. Click "Manage Permissions" to block users, set posting and tagging permissions, and implement age and country restrictions. You can also set a profanity blocklist to stop people from posting inappropriate content on the page.

8. Select "Basic Information" to edit your page's name, description and content category.

9. Click "Profile Picture" to change the profile image that appears at the top of your page and in Facebook search results.

10. Select "Featured" to add other pages and page owners that you want to feature on your own Facebook Page.

11. Click "Resources" to access many useful features for promoting your page, such as integrating it with Twitter or advertising the page on Facebook.

This is particularly useful in large companies where several employees might need access to management features. After you've appointed an administrator, she will be able to access the admin panel from her own Facebook account.

13. Click "Apps" to remove, configure or add applications such as Video, Notes and Events to your Facebook Page.

14. Select "Insights" to view visitor data for your page.
