When you set up your Facebook page there's a number of settings you can
specify to make it easier to manage. I'll show you how they work in this video.
Here we go. So you just need to go to from your main page to the settings menu at
the top and then select general. You can see here. So let's go through these one
by one. So page visibility that's the decision when you want to go live you
choose to publish the page so you can work on that page for a while until it's
fully complete and that's advised just so you can get everything looking correct
before you go live and publish. The next thing is how you treat visitor posts. Can
anyone publish to the page and if so can they add photos and videos that's what's
been specified there. You could even have it to review posts before they are published
to the page if you want an extra check involved in that. Posts and story sharing
is set to on. So that means people could share stories post to their own and add
them to their own story. So if you're gonna let your pages story be part of
their story that's fine. Okay so the next one is messaging. Can they contact
your page or not. If you allow people to contact the page by showing the
messaging or you don't. So if you turn it off you get rid of the send message
button.
Tagging ability can you be tagged to allow them to tag photos and videos
published by you, you can allow that or not. Others tagging the page you
know allow them to tag it and also stories as well if you want to do that
Next up country restrictions I've had a case in the past where I restricted it to
just the UK and then there's an issue with people from elsewhere being able to
access the content. Age restrictions again you could change it to be limited
to over 18s depending on the content .Are there any words you want to block from
the page the profanity filter do you want that on? Generally speaking that's
not really an issue but you may get some cases where you want to protect the
audience that are viewing it and things are put on there that you don't want to
see that's generally turned off. Similar page suggestion is good, you can include
it in recommendations that gives you more of a marketing tool. Page updates basically
when you want to publish an update they are automatically updated. There's some of these are
fairly basic I mean some won't apply to a lot of cases. Post in
multiple languages that could be a specialist thing
Auto translation is a new thing so if you want to show them automatically and
I've got that set to yes. Common ranking so that's either the most relevant comments
first or just generally the most recent comments. You can download content to
Facebook you can download the page you can merge pages and merging pages it's a
bit of a convoluted process I think sometimes better just to build the
audiences separately and finally you got the option to delete your page so if you
want to get rid of it completely or put it on hold you can choose that. So those
are the page setting options let me just show you in 2020 view if you like so
I'll switch to the new view and so you can see them all there, general
and all those settings that we've just walked through there so pretty much
looks the same we'll look at some of the other aspects in future videos but
that's it for me I'm Paul from PR Wilson media your social media personal trainer
