What is a Facebook Page?

I’m often asked to define a Facebook page and one of the best answers comes straight from the source. Here is an excerpt from the Facebook Help page regarding what a Facebook Page is.

“A public figure, business, or brand can create a Facebook Page to share information, interact with their fans, and create a highly engaging presence on Facebook. Pages are distinct presences that are optimized to represent a business, and are separate from user profiles. Like profiles, they can be enhanced with applications that help the organization communicate with and engage their fans, and capture new audiences virally through their fans’ recommendations to their friends. More than 3 million users become fans of Facebook Pages every day.

You can easily use your personal account to manage a Facebook Page for your organization. You can create your Facebook Page here. Please note that only the official representative of an organization is permitted to create a Page – “fan” Pages are not permitted and will be removed.”

I hope this was helpful.
