3. Upload a photo.

The profile photo has a slightly different purpose than the one you use in your private Facebook Profile. The branding element is really significant and that's why you should contemplate using your own company logo as profile photo. If you choose to be unique, you can put a face on it. But only if there's sufficient space and your logo visibility allows for it.

4. Complete the ‘About’ section

This following section should have essential details regarding your business, your product or your service. Consider it an elevator pitch for your visitors. Having said that, don’t simply explain what your business is about, you can also talk about what your visitors can expect to get out of your Facebook Page.

Point out each of the other links your Business has: your other social media links such as Twitter, Google+, YouTube, or LinkedIn. Later on, we will explain how to put them to use to obtain more business from these links.

The ‘About’ section is a lot more crucial than it seems to be. Too many Facebook Pages associated with big brands and established companies fail to provide a link to their company's website just where it is most noticeable. Providing your links enables your fans to quickly access your website and will give you a much better conversion rate. The trick is to put the link to your website also into the ‘about’ field . After you do, the link will be visible right underneath your page's ‘Profile photo’.

5. ‘Like’ your page and add your ‘cover photo’

Right after pressing ‘Save info’, you're going to be encouraged to ‘Like’ your new page. Do it.

Now you are almost done. One more simple action to take would be to add your own cover photo. Go for a photo that can be engaging, informative as well as attractive. Dependant upon your own investing budget, this would probably be a task for a good graphic designer. This could also be an area to put your company's Headline or key statement.

Keep in mind:
Facebook does have some strict guidelines for cover photos. It isn't intended for ads or promos and you'll find 3 don'ts:
1) No price or purchase information (30% Off),
2) No contact information (web, email or mail address) and
3) No calls to action (like us, share, download, etc).

This was a simple breakdown of the important steps required to build a new Facebook Page. Next, we are going to explain what has to be done before you start sharing it and getting new ‘Fans’.
