Setting up a Facebook Business page

Want to start posting on Facebook as your business or brand? It is important to properly set up your Facebook Business Page. A great page will make it easier for customers to receive the right information quickly, which cuts down on having to answer the same questions repeatedly (hours, contact information, etc.). Also, a properly built page screams for engagement and interaction.
