Creating a Like Page on Facebook

Looking to create an amazing Facebook Like Page that delivers results? Just follow this simple guide and you'll soon be up and running.

Facebook now has over 750 million users - the oppopurtunity for SMEs to market, build brand awareness and, ultimately, increase sales, is huge. But many Facebook business pages don't stand out. They are bland and boring. You need a Facebook fanpage that will allow you to stand out from the rest - and market your business better than the competition.

Facebook LikeIt Pages | 3 Simple Steps

Register your page on Facebook
Transform it into a stunning mini-website
Engage your fans and analyse the results

1. Register your page on Facebook

This first step is pretty standard. Read the overview below, then pop over to Facebook here to get your page set up.

Firstly, you choose the subject of your page: local business or place/ company, organsation or institution/ brand or product/ artist, band or public figure/ entertainment/ cause or community. Then just choose a category, and submit your page name.

You'll now need to login using your personal Facebook profile (you'll also have the option to create a new one). After, it's time to upload a profile picture, get fans (by inviting your friends & e-mail contacts) and finally completing some basic info about your page.

2. Transform your Facebook page into a stunning mini-website

To get a Facebook Like page that really stands out from the crowd, you need to go a step further than the standard Facebook fanpages. Once the applications installed, you can add as many additional tabs as you like.

These extra tabs, quite simply, allow you to market your business better than the competition. You have complete freedom over the design and content - which means you can create the perfect page for your business' needs.

Looking to grow your fanbase, build brand awareness, credibility and increase sales? Browse our LikeIt! apps to find out how they can work for YOUR business.

3. Engage your fans & analyse the results

Engaging with your fans on your Facebook Page means: posting on the wall (not just boring one liners, but interesting links, cool news, photos, videos, excxlusive offers for Facebook fans), answering questions, starting conversations. In short, creating a community.

Another advantage of having a custom design Like Page on Facebook is that it offers you a second "mini website" - but with real people instead of meaningless statistics. Like Pages allow you to reliably measure the amount of people engaging and interacting with your brand. Not only the number - but their location, demographics, and much more...
