What is Facebook and how will it help my business?

Facebook is a social media site that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. It is ideal for businesses because it creates brand awareness, attracts new customers and keeps you in contact with existing customers.

You may already have a Facebook personal account but to promote your business effectively you'll need a Facebook business account too. You can then use this to post information that will compel people to like your page. By linking your Facebook business account to your blog and your website you will encourage the people following you on Facebook to become customers.

Like all social media marketing, promoting your business on Facebook takes time to make it successful. Writing good quality posts on a regular basis and developing your contacts will gradually build a group of loyal followers.

Create a facebook page

Facebook for business

For a long time, Facebook was seen as the social networking site where people just went to gossip or share photos but increasingly it is becoming an important business tool. And with half the UK population now on Facebook, it’s a marketplace that businesses cannot afford to ignore.

You may already have a personal page on Facebook but if you want to use Facebook to promote your business, you must set up a separate Facebook business account. This process can be complicated and time-consuming but we can manage the process for you and show you how to maintain a successful Facebook business page.

Create a Facebook business page

We'll work with you to create a business page on Facebook that’s dedicated to your business. We’ll tweak the settings and add information about your business so that you can start promoting your business to relevant customers.

Getting going with Facebook for business

We'll help you find people to like your business, give suggestions for your first posts, show you how to respond to comments and explain how to add photos and videos. We’ll also create a customised home page that successfully promotes your business and fits with your existing brand.

Promoting your business with Facebook

Successful marketing on Facebook means creating effective posts, developing your contacts, using SEO to attract visitors, integrating with your blog and Twitter account, and creating a Facebook badge for your website. It may sound like a lot to consider but don’t worry, we will guide you through the entire process.

Making Facebook your main website

If you don't need a traditional website, a Facebook business page could be a great alternative. We can add customised pages to your Facebook business page to promote your services and provide contact details, just like you can on a standard website.

If you’d like to set up a Facebook business account or want to find out more about promoting your business with Facebook, get in touch.
