Facebook pages: like a personal account, but with more ads

What’s the difference between a Facebook page and a Facebook account?

A Facebook account is for individual users to connect with friends and family, while a Facebook Page is for businesses or public entities to connect with a broader audience. Think of it as the difference between your personal diary and a public billboard.

Why do people use Facebook Pages?

People use Facebook Pages to promote their brand, share updates, engage with followers, and run advertisements. It’s like having a megaphone for your business in the digital world!

What is the difference between a group and a page on Facebook?

A Facebook Page is a one-way communication channel where you broadcast updates to your followers, while a group is a community space where members can engage in discussions. Pages are for shouting your message, while groups are for the chit-chat after the shouting.

Is a Facebook Page its own account?

Yes, a Facebook Page operates under the umbrella of a personal account, but it’s separate in functionality. It’s like a business card that’s connected to your personal identity - professional but still part of you!
