How to Make a Facebook Page: Quick & Easy Step-by-Step Guide

Using the Mobile App

Open Facebook. It's the blue-and-white "f" icon on the home screen or in the app drawer. This opens your News Feed if you're already logged into Facebook. If you aren't already logged into Facebook, enter your email address (or phone number) and password to do so now.

Tap the menu ☰. It's the three horizontal lines at the bottom-right corner (iPhone/iPad) or top-right corner (Android).

Scroll down and tap Pages. It's toward the bottom of the menu. If you already have at least one Page, tap Your Pages instead.

Tap + Create. It's at the top-left corner. Some information about Facebook Pages will appear.

Tap the blue Get Started button. This option is at the bottom of the screen.

Name your page and tap Next. The name of your Page should be the name of your organization, brand, or business.

Select up to 3 categories and tap Next. Choose categories that reflect the sort of content your Page will contain. For example, if you're an actor, type actor into the search bar and tap Actor in the search results.

Enter a bio and contact information (optional). If you want to add a description to your page, enter that in the "Bio" section. You can also add your website, email, and phone number under "Contact." Adding your website is optional but can help increase your visibility, especially if you're making a Page for a business, product, service, or something similar. If you don't want to add a bio or contact information, skip this step.

Add a profile and cover photo (optional). Your profile photo should be your photo or logo, and the cover image can be any applicable image you want to display in the large area at the top of your Page. To add photos: Tap Add profile picture, select the image, and edit it if you'd like. When you're finished, tap Use. Tap Add cover photo, select an image, and tap Done. Then, drag the photo to align it properly within the dimensions necessary for cover images. Tap Save to see a preview of your profile image and cover image together. If you don't want to add a profile or cover photo, skip this step.

Tap Edit action button to add an Action Button (optional). You can add an Action Button to create appointments, sign up for an email list, start an order, view your shop, buy tickets, or contact you via Messenger, WhatsApp, or a phone call. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Action Buttons, if you want to add them. If you don't want to add any Action Buttons, you can skip this step.

Tap Invite friends to invite your friends to your Page (optional). To jumpstart your Page's engagement, you can invite friends to follow your Page. However, if you don't want to do this you can tap Next to skip this step.

Choose your Page notification settings. These settings are enabled by default, and you can leave them both toggled on to leave them enabled. Otherwise, tap the toggles to disable one or both of these options.

Tap the blue Done button. It's at the bottom of the screen. Once you do, you'll be moved to your new Page. Tap the pencil icon in the top-right corner to access your Page's settings. This is where you can edit your Page info, set messaging preferences, add your location, and much more. Tap Create a post to create your first post.
