In the last blog, we talked about what Facebook Marketing is and why it’s worth learning. Today, we’re going one step ahead - and helping you actually start.
This blog is all about how to create a proper Facebook Business Page. Not your personal profile. Not a random page with no info. A real, clean, professional-looking business page that you can use for practice—or even to promote something for real.
Let’s get into it.
What is a Facebook Business Page?
Think of it as a digital storefront. Whether you’re selling something, offering a service, or just building your personal brand, a Facebook Business Page acts as your public profile for the world.
Unlike your personal account, this is where people:
• Find your business info
• Check out what you offer
• Read your posts, reviews and updates
• Contact you directly
Even if you’re not a business owner, having a business page lets you practice real digital marketing skills.
Why Create One?
Here are three real reasons why you should make a business page—even if you’re still learning:
• It’s free – You don’t need to pay anything to create it.
• You can build a portfolio – Show employers or clients that you’ve managed a real page.
• You learn by doing – No tutorial beats hands-on practice.
What You Need Before You Start
Not much, honestly. Just:
• A Facebook account (your personal one, to log in)
• A name for your page (it could be anything: a mock brand, a side hustle idea, or your own name)
• A short bio or description (even 2 lines will do)
• A logo or profile picture (you can use Canva or a simple photo for now)
Got that ready? Let’s go.
How to Create Your Facebook Business Page – Step by Step
Step 1: Log in and go to “Pages”
• Open Facebook on your browser or app.
• On the left-hand side (on desktop), click “Pages.”
• On mobile, tap the three horizontal lines and look for “Pages”.
Step 2: Click on “Create New Page”
You’ll see a big blue button that says “Create New Page” Tap it.
Step 3: Add Your Page Details
Here’s what you’ll need to enter:
• Page Name – Choose something clear. For example: “Bake & Bite” or “Fitness With Neha.”
• Category – Just type what your page is about. Facebook will suggest options like “Food Delivery,” “Education,” “Personal Blog,” etc.
• Description – A short sentence about what the page is for. You can change this anytime.
Once done, click Create Page.
Step 4: Add Images
• Profile Picture – Your logo or a photo related to your brand. (Use Canva if you need help designing one.)
• Cover Photo – A banner that gives a feel of your business. Can be a product photo, a quote, or something simple.
This makes your page look professional from day one.
Step 5: Fill Out the Page Info
This is the part people often skip—but it matters.
Go to “Edit Page Info” and add:
• Contact number or email
• Website (if any) or Instagram handle
• Business hours (can be “Always open” if not applicable)
• Location (if you’re targeting local customers)
Step 6: Create Your First Post
Don’t overthink it. It could be:
• A “Hello, we’re live!” post
• A quote
• A photo of your product
• An intro to what your page is about
The goal is just to start. You can always improve later.
What Makes a Page Look Professional?
What Makes a Page Look Professional?
1. Use proper grammar and real images. People trust what looks real.
2. Have a consistent tone. Friendly, professional, or informative—stick to one.
3. Keep the page active. One post a week is enough to begin with.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Don’t use personal selfies or cropped photos as your logo.
• Don’t leave the “About” section empty.
• Don’t send people to your page before it has at least one or two posts.
Take a little time to set it up well—you’re building your own digital asset.
