If you need a Facebook tutorial for your business I'm excited to help you out. In
this video I'll show you why your business should have a Facebook business
page and show you all the things you can do with it. Also your business might have
a page out there that you didn't create, that people are leaving bad reviews on.
I'll show you how to find that and fix it as well all coming up. (theme music) Welcome to

rhymes with the boy wizard. You can connect with me on social media here. By
the end of this video you'll have a better understanding about why your
business should have a facebook business page, how to set it up, how to use it and
how to find out if there are any extra business pages out there for your
business that you don't even know about! Some businesses have pages automatically
generated by Facebook and meanwhile your customers find them and leave good and
bad reviews - sometimes angry reviews -that you can't even respond to. So does your
business need a facebook business page? Almost always yes, and I'll share a
couple exceptions in a minute. When I was first becoming a consumer if your
business didn't have a website I was like, "What? Why don't you have a website?
Well now for today's consumers it's all about having a Facebook page. It's kind of
like having a Yelp listing. If you're not there consumers are wondering, "why
aren't you on Facebook? Don't you have fans? Don't you have people that
like your business, that want to engage with you? And if you don't, why would I
want to engage with you? Not having a Facebook business page is missing out on
"social proof." Social proof is basically the fact that people are 71
percent more likely to buy a product if they saw it recommended on social media
So that's good reviews and recommendations from friends who like
your page, all of that. You're missing out on all of that. Now you can get away with
using a personal page for your business if you are a one-person business and
it's named after you. Of you're a real estate agent or if I
was Jerry Potter Wedding Photography, then maybe I could get away with that
That's also saying "my business is never gonna grow big. I don't
ever want to advertise on Facebook." You're really limiting yourself
Now at this point I know there are people at different levels watching this
video. If you haven't even created your facebook business page I do have a video
for that. You can do it in about two minutes. The link is here at the top of
the screen or in the description of this video. Now if you already have a page and
you want to learn how to post to it - photos. text posts. links. videos - I cover
all of that in a video that is at the top of the screen or down in the
description as well. But a lot of people ask about, "Well what if there's this
business page out there that I didn't create? What do I do about that?
It happens. If somebody tries to check in to your business on Facebook and they
can't find it, Facebook will automatically create a Facebook page
Some clients I've taken on I discover these extra pages
have been there for years and people have left reviews, sometimes mad,
angry reviews that never get responded to. Meanwhile other consumers are
checking you out on that page and going, "Man this business owner doesn't even
care about his customers" or, "Look she never even responded to these people and
look what happened to them." You have got to control your narrative. You have to get
rid of these pages. I cover all of that in a video that is at the top of the page
or down in the description as well. Alright? I hope that was helpful to you
