Looking for something?

Setting Up a Business Facebook Page

When it comes to getting your name out there, nothing beats having a strong presence on social media. This will help your agency connect with customers and build your brand at the same time.  Since social media is the new way to determine what to buy, and who to buy it from, it’s important to establish and develop your presence on platforms like Facebook. But where should you start?

Why Facebook?facebook logo

While there are other, newer social media platforms, Facebook is still a widely used platform, one that arguably gives you access to the widest group of people. Young adults and older adults alike still scroll through Facebook, unlike other platforms that older adults might avoid, like Instagram.

Setting Up A Facebook Page

It might be intimidating to think about setting up a business account on social media, but we assure you, it’s easy. First, you’ll have to sign up for your Facebook page. To do this, go to the “Create” area of Facebook, and do the following :

  • Choose a page name
  • Choose a category for your business
  • Describe your business
  • Fill out the “About” area for your business
  • Enter your business contact information
  • Include a business and cover photo

Branding Your Facebook Page

Next, you will need to consider how you would like to brand your business. You’ll already have included your name when setting up your page, but now you can add your logo, upcoming events (like webinars), photos of your business, and most importantly, content! Adding content will help to boost your brand perception – but what kind of content should you include on your page? Well, first imagine being in your customers’ shoes, looking for insurance, and think about what kind of questions you might be researching. Your content should help answer these questions, but remember not to limit yourself to insurance content. Add some fun and interesting facts, posts that relate to awareness days/months, and a little about yourself, too!

Monitoring Your Facebook Page

Last but not least, you will need to monitor your page, and check for messages and comments. The bell on the top right-hand side will show you when you have notifications, and clicking on that will tell you if people have shared your page and content, or if someone has tagged you in a post. It’s important to monitor your page so that you can reply to people who are interacting with you, and respond to questions or reviews.
