Page VS Profile

A profile is a regular person, everyone who is on Facebook has a profile. You can use your profile to add friends, share things, comment, add photos and more.

A Page is intended for business use (or charity / organisations). With a page, you don’t send it a friend request like a profile, you simply ‘like’ it. Facebook is very strict, and tries to ensure that all businesses use the correct tools, and has been know to shut down profiles that have been created solely for business use.

Don’t worry if you have used a profile to promote your business, you can easily create a business page.

To create a Page:

  • Go to facebook.com/pages/create.
  • Click to choose a category.
  • Fill in the required information.
  • Click Create Page.
  • Add an optional profile or cover photo, then click Save.
