With more than 2.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook is a major player in the world of social networking. Businesses looking to market using Facebook have one major tool at their disposal: the Facebook Page.
Facebook Pages were specifically engineered for businesses. They provide a public home on Facebook for your brand, allow you to publish content, and let you see comments and feedback from fans and customers.
Facebook Pages are a simple tool, but they offer countless interesting business opportunities. There are some companies out there who really take advantage of the cool stuff you can do on a Facebook business Page to connect, engage with, and delight fans, as well as drive traffic to specific parts of their website.
So, we combed through the web to find the top pages to inspire your Facebook marketing strategy. But first, we answer the quintessential question: What makes a good Facebook page?
What makes a good Facebook Page?
A good Facebook business Page accurately represents your brand, focuses on the customer, and answers for potential followers’ needs. The page should also entice potential followers to engage more meaningfully with your brand — whether by visiting your website, signing up for a free event, or joining your company’s Facebook Group.
In your Facebook page, you should have:
- A name that reflects your business in a professional and succinct way.
- An accurate page category that immediately tells users what you do.
- A description that establishes the benefits of following your Page.
- A profile picture that represents your brand and its colors.
- An engaging and descriptive cover photo that speaks to your customer’s core desire or pain point.
- A constant and steady stream of recently published posts that have links to other company assets and properties.
