You need to have a personal profile in order to create a business page. Business pages are managed by profiles. For example, my personal profile as myself is a manager of Moz's page, and when I post on Moz's page or answer comments on Moz's page, it defaults to me responding as Moz.

Hi Erica,

Thanks a lot for great answer and great tool, just last query as you said facebook only wants businesses to have business pages that means i can directly create business page and no need to create profile?

I mean to create any business page, we have to create account with profile? ??Confused??? Can u please guide me?

Thanks in advance!

You only want one page for your business, not four for each service. Businesses that have multiple pages are ones with multiple locations. Facebook only wants businesses to have business pages, and they will shut down businesses that create user profiles instead.

As far as tools that you can analyze what your competitors are doing on Facebook, I recommend Rival IQ. I use this for my work at Moz, and it's fabulous.

Thanks Monica,

First of all i don't want to hack anyone else page. I am asking for my business page. Like i have abc.com website of my company and i am providing 4 services i.e. seo, web development, web design, 3d design so i want to know, should i create profile page of facebook on my name? and for all four service i should create account with my company name?

I was asking in my above statement that if i want to know any business have more than one page so it is possible to check? ...I don't want to hack but want to analysis...that's it

Thanks!

Do you have a personal Facebook page? You can look up any businesses as long as you are logged in. Just do a search for their name.

You can't hack someone else's page, but you can look at it from a fan's perspective. You will see their likes, reviews, posts and photos.

I recommend creating only one FB page for your business. There is a description that can be extremely lengthy and you can describe all of your services. You don't want to have duplicate pages for the same business, it reflects negatively on your credibility. The name of your page should be the name of your company.
