December 2, 2020 84 Comments Ana Gotter

Your Facebook Page is often the central hub for your entire social media marketing presence as a small business.

It’s a crucial method of discovery, with users both enthusiastically recommending businesses to their friends, engaging with your content (which their friends can see!), and people finding you through the search bar. Here, potential and existing clients alike can find out key information about your business, including a link to your site, hours of operation, and even a mission statement.

Your Facebook Page, therefore, can be incredibly useful in both reaching new audiences and establishing relationships with current followers. In order to take advantage of these benefits, however, people need to actually be able to find your page.

Knowing how to set up and promote your Facebook Page for your small business is essential, and knowing what NOT to do is just as crucial. In this post we’re going to go over the 7 most common mistakes that you want to avoid when promoting your Facebook business page, and we’ll look at a few things that you will want to do, too.
