Improves local SEO by appearing in search results
Lets you run ads and track performance
Provides an easy way to share video updates, specials, and events

Click Pages in the left menu and choose Create New Page.
Enter your Page name (your business name), Category (e.g., Marketing Agency), and a short description.
Step 2 – Add Branding
Profile Picture: Use your logo or a simple video loop (MP4 or GIF).
Cover Image or Video: Facebook now supports high-quality cover videos.

Tip: Use consistent colors and fonts to match your website.

Invite friends and customers to like the page for social proof.
Connect Facebook Ads Manager to start running targeted campaigns.
