Include also your Website URL, if you have one or simply type in your other Social Media URLs such as Instagram, Twitter, and other social media account links.

Set up a unique custom Facebook Page link to make it easier for people to find your page.

Uploading an Image

On the Profile Picture Tab: If you have a custom-made logo you may use it by clicking the Upload From Computer Link or grab from your website by clicking, Import From Website.

Your company’s profile picture and cover photo sizes should be:

Page’s Profile Picture:

• Displays at 170×170 pixels on your Page on computers, 128×128 pixels on smartphones and 36×36 pixels on most feature phones
• Will be cropped to fit a square

Page’s Cover Photo:

• Displays at 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall on your Page on computers and 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall on smartphones
• Doesn’t display on feature phones
• Must be at least 399 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall
• Loads fastest as an sRGB JPG file that’s 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall and less than 100 kilobytes
• For profile pictures and cover photos with your logo or text, you may get a better result by using a PNG file.

Add Facebook Page to Favorites

Found under Add to Favorites Tab: If you will add your Business Page visibly under Favorites Toggle Bar, it will be easier for you to navigate from Personal to Business Page and vice versa.

If you don’t want it, simply click the Skip Button located at the lower right corner.

Target your audiences

Lastly, the Preferred Page Audience Tab: These part here will give you the opportunity to reach the location, age range and interest of your target audiences. This is important so you have to strategize your target.

• Set your target location by entering the countries, states, cities or ZIP codes where the people you most want to connect with are located. You may also use the Drop Pin feature if you are confident in using it. Please note that city and ZIP locations aren’t available in all countries.
• Select the minimum and maximum age of the people who will find your ad relevant.
• Choose the gender of the people you most want to connect with or choose “All”.
• Add the interests of the audience you most want to connect with. Facebook can help you connect with specific audiences by looking at their interests, activities, the Pages they have liked and closely related topics.
• You can leave this blank unless the audience you are targeting uses a language that is not common to the location you have chosen above.
• Or you can skip this part and edit it later.

Once you are done, hit save to update the page.

Always make sure you are using the right words about your company to make your page easier to find and promote. Google will index mostly from your about page section so it has to be both keyword-rich and descriptive.
