Once you have created your personal business page you will have an application added to your account. This application is known as “Page Manager” and can be found on your log in page at the top of the screen on the left-hand side. Clicking this link will open your business page, this is where you will go to add or edit content.

You will need to choose a name and category for your business page. This should be considered carefully. The name of your page will be used to form your keywords. These are the words that will allow your page to be picked up on when someone does a search.

If you do not have a twitter account then you should think about getting one as this is another powerful way to promote your business. This particular Twitter application will automatically take your “Tweets” and apply them as your Facebook status. The application will apply a Twitter style icon next to your status to inform your friends and fans that you are a member of Twitter, therefore attracting more followers. This application helps to ensure that your profile remains updated and interesting to the people who are following your business. It will also save you time as you will only have to update one networking site.

Utilising these types of applications will keep your visitors interested. A page with activity is far more successful than one that does not have any. Your visitors will become more interested in your business, which of course can lead to a successful sale. Therefore, you should ensure that your posts are regular; they should be relevant to the page or subject area and should target your audience. Make sure that you’re using popular keywords, words that people are actually searching for. The more people and profile pages that you have linked to your business or even your personal page then the more it will get crawled; this will essentially lead to a higher ranking page.

Hope that this post will help in understanding how powerful Facebook is..
