Set up Facebook Page (Phase 2): Roll up your Sleeves
Now you have all the information you need to fill out your Facebook page, what’s next?
- Head over to Facebook and set up your business page. Optimize your Facebook content by using niche-related keywords for your business.
- You can either save your business page for later, if you want to sit on it first; or you may select, “Publish.”
- When you have filled it up with your optimized content, claim your Facebook web address , a.k.a. vanity URL. This warning will appear once you go through the process so take heed before you click “Confirm.”
