These are some of the benefits of having a Facebook business Page.
- Increased Exposure to Potential Customers
1.19 BILLION USERS. Do I need to say more? If your business can’t find new customers on Facebook, I think you should rethink your line of work.
- Gather More Leads
It isn’t enough that people like your page. It isn’t enough to provide you with a long- term, sustainable business. Sure you can make a good living short-term off just using your Facebook page. But what if Facebook does actually disappear one day? If you haven’t made a connection with your followers outside Facebook, then you’ll be in trouble. That’s why smart business gathers leads in the form of email addresses – so they can contact their community outside of Facebook. Most do this through contest, giveaways and newsletters – and its proven system.
- Lower You’re Marketing Expenses
Starting a Facebook business page cost you exactly $0. Sure, you may pay a graphic artist to design a profile picture and cover photo – but that’s not a necessity. Simply using photographs you take of your business will work – and in some cases that’s better than a creative image from an image from a designer.
Facebook ads are relatively inexpensive when compared to traditional print, radio or TV ads – and are 1,000x more targeted. Maybe not, but targeting your ads to people interested in your page’s topic you can definitely keep costs low.

If you run an ad on TV, during say an airing of “Seinfeld.” You’d be hard pressed to know with certainly whether your ad targeted the right kinds of people for your business. With Facebook ads, you can be certain – if you target the ad correctly.

SEO and Facebook topic gets debated quite a bit. Some argue that the information in the about section of a business page is scraped and thus searchable by Google. It’s hard to accurately verify or dispute this claim. Our Facebook page shows upon page 1of the Google search results.
