Facebook has become far more than just a way to stay in touch with friends. Facebook is now a powerful way to increase business, increase your brand and bring new customers to your storefront.

how to boost your Facebook page

Here are five quick and easy ways on how to boost your Facebook page:

Take your time choosing pics

It is amazing how many people throw up a random picture for an avatar with no care of what it looks like. If you are using Facebook for anything other than family fun, a simple headshot should do rather nicely. While using a picture of a bunny rabbit singing karaoke might be funny, it is probably not going to put on your best business face. Make sure you choose an image that will reflect what you want your clients to see.

Add in your bio

Not adding a decent bio to your Facebook page is a huge waste. The space is there for you to advertise yourself or your business. Take the time to write something engaging and descriptive so that people at a glance can see what you are all about. Bios are a wonderful resource for you to build your Facebook brand.

Make a nice header

Those beautiful headers that stretch across the top of the page are absolutely perfect for a Facebook branding image. Have someone make you a beautiful header that advertises what you are all about in a clean, but clear message or image. These headers are placed in a position so that every reader that visit your profile will see them. Make the most of that Facebook space.

Do regular updates

If you never update your page, it will quickly become stale and boring. If you do not give people a reason to visit, they simply will go somewhere else. Write yourself out a schedule and make certain that you stick to it. By posting on a regular basis, your potential clients and visitors will always have a reason to come back. Never go for long periods of time without posting something of interest.

Engage your audience

This is the most important Facebook branding advice you will ever get. Communicating with your readers and visitors is absolutely vital to building relationships. Respond when people take the time to comment and you will quickly get a popular reputation for doing so. Businesses that actively engage their audience are always rewarded with higher traffic and more responses.

Posting things like polls, questionnaires and queries are a wonderful way to create engagement. Make certain that you follow through on your end of the communication line.

Increasing your Facebook page and brand is really about taking advantage of what you have available to you. Utilize every square inch of space that Facebook provides an do so on a regular basis. If you do this, you will absolutely see an increase in readership and engagement across your brand.

  3. Thank you ! 🙂

  4. I’ve tried everything to increase my Facebook visibly and nothing works. I admit that my bio probably needs a little work and I need to work more on engagement. Thanks for the tips!

  5. thanks for the steps

  6. Wonderful suggestions ! The most important one is to engage and reply to the post left you by your readers. There is a particular blog that I really like . I love their style, recipes and flair. Sadly not one time have they ever responded to me on Face book, twitter or their blog. They do not have a high volume site and I do believe this is why. Well that and they have far too many adds on their blog so it freezes everyone up when they visit. Needless to say I stopped hanging around there as their are way too many bloggers out there that will say hello back to me and make me feel as if they appreciate me tweeting and sharing for them.

  7. Engaging my readers has really helped. I share fun quotes, or ask questions and those seem to drive a lot of traffic, compared to other posts at times. Great tips!
