How to promote my Facebook business page?

geek84

Hi Folks


I have a personal Facebook page and I also have one for my small business. The way I’m accessing my business page is by clicking the down arrow which (as you know) is located within the blue border which runs across the page. Is this the quickest and best way to access my business Facebook page?


I now want to create an advert to promote my business page, and would be most grateful if any of you kind folks out there would advice where I am getting wrong.


Here are the steps that I have tried in order to promote my business page:


1. Clicked on the down arrow located towards top of my personal Facebook page and clicking on Create Advert option.


2. On the next screen, I click on promote your page option.


3. On the next screen, I’m given the option of choosing the Facebook page (which I want to promote) by clicking on the down arro.



However, when I click on the down arrow, my business page does not appear.
Would anybody be kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong or what else I need to do in order to create this advert to promote my business page?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi Geek84,

I followed the steps you described and was able to choose both the page I run for free and three pages I manage through my business so it's a bit strange to me that you cannot access your business page.

Did you setup the business page yourself or are you an admin on a page created by someone else?

If you go to your page (i.e. as if you were going to post an update) and scroll down you'll see a "Promote" button under the left menu items (where you see Home, About, Photo links etc) - do you have that option?

Thanks.

Hi ViktorOnopko

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes, I do have the Promote button under the left menu items.

When I click on that, it gives me the option of seeing all promotions. After that, my computer doesn't do anything !!

Any further advice greatly appreciated.

Hello geek84, I hope I am not sounding stupid here, but do you think it could be to do with your browser or anything like that? Which browser you’re using and have you tried any other? I hope I am not being stupid here, but this seems to me a thing that could cause this issue.

Well, making money on Facebook is kind of another matter. The OP originally asked about marketing his business on Facebook. Geek 84, this is a nice outline of some of the main tips that work towards successful Facebook Marketing. It could be a good start for you. I would also suggest taking some online tutorials, because Facebook marketing is a whole lot more than just pressing the onpage "promote my page" button. I would suggest you do a little homework to make sure that you are doing it right and doing it well. That's the only way to truly be successful in anything.

Thank You.

Have you published the page? If you search for it does it appear in the search bar or try and tag your business in a post?

Only thing I can think of is you haven't made it live yet perhaps?

Join a Facebook group which is linked to your service. Post some pictures, information about the subject. Then link to your business.
