Hi Stewart! Ugh I am sooo un-techy, thank GOODNESS for people like you to hold our hand and walk us through the step-by-step process. I've been trying to start a small home-based business for several years but had some family things happen along the way so it went to the back burner. I started what I thought was a FB page for the business, however, it's been switched over to the newer pages so I am totally lost in navigating around it. I'm wondering if I should delete the old one and just start a new one following this tutorial? I hadn't even had but a couple of posts and really no engagement on it so I don't feel I'll be losing much besides a few photos and the Canva banner that I can easily grab again. Please let me know your thoughts? Thank you so much for what you do!
I think just follow the process again and make sure you have tickets off everything in the new tutorial! Good luck on the new home based business. I recommended checkout out our new book. It’s dedicated to businesses like yours to ensure you setup all the digital stuff correctly! 🤗
Hi Stewart Many thanks; this was the best tutorial I have seen about starting a Facebook business page. I will now check out some of your other tutorials.
Hi Stewart, Thank you SO much for the simple step by step video instructions. I just reconnected with Facebook. I was so lost on how to correctly open a new business account. Your skills are topnotch
I've had a personal Facebook account for 16 years and I'd like to start selling my business product through Facebook. I'm an established full time seller through another platform. From my understanding I have to create a FB business page, then I could sell through FB marketplace as my business page, right? Or I could also create a FB shop, and sell through my shop, and my business page would have to be attached to the shop? The tutorials I've watched keep changing so now I am confused. What accounts do I need, and in which order? Step 1-My personal FB account to make my business page, 2- create a business manager account, which is the same with Meta Business Manager now, and for which I could use my business email to create (or the personal email that FB already has)? 3. Create a FB commerce profile with my business email? Or if you could point to some recent tutorials in order? All the Facebook changes made it very confusing regarding what their services are called now. Thank you in advance!
Hey Romina, It can be quite confusing. You will need to setup your Meta Business Account and create your business page. We offer a full digital road map that you can get as an ebook that will make sure you setup your business online correctly.
I complete agree. I don’t really need a step by step tutorial, I need a dos and don’ts guide. Like use your personal account to set up s business page? Or make a business personal account to run a business page but that seems like there’s pro’s and con’s to both.
Thank you so much for the video! I dont have the option for people to check into my page? I followed all the steps you did to create the page. The page has an address and everything. I dont understand why people can't check into the page. Thank you!!
Great tutorial! I have a question: is it alright if I left the second feature at 11:10 activated? What are the consequences of it? Once again, thanks for the great tutorial.
Hi Stewart, I followed your instructions and created a business page for graphic design services in New Zealand, and 15 minutes later I got the following email "Your Facebook account has been suspended." This is in spite of not uploading anything to it yet. The email says I can "disagree with decision" which I clicked, and it says "not available." I can't believe Facebook is this utterly useless - no wonder everyone trashes FB and says it is a waste of time.
@@StewartGauld Thanks for the quick reply 🙂 I don't use FB, so I created a personal account followed by the business page as instructed in your video, and got the "suspended" email only 15 minutes later. Neither the personal or business page had any posts on them, so they were both blank. I decided to give up on FB and watch your Google Sites video instead.
Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are extremely helpful. I have come across a snag. When I try and add an action button to "link on website" I don't get that option from the list. I get "shop on facebook" and "connect another tool." I'm not sure what step I missed... I appreciate your help.
I have a question.... Should we have business account to make business page and the information is inter-changeable between the page and account or not.???
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have a page up and on but when I go to “see all” , I see AD, GROUP, EVENT & FUNDRAISER but no page. What have I done wrong?
Many thanks for your tutorial. Please can I ask - How to I publish the Facebook business page or check its current ‘publish’ status. I have seen your other tutorials were you have provided details. However I do not have the same options. I do not seem to be able to find the 'Page visibility' under the settings tab. Please can you advise. Many thanks
Great video. I haven't used Facebook in years and was wanting to set up a business page for advertisement. But I see they have removed the "Unpublished" function and you can only delete or deactivate the page now, which sucks. I was hoping to set up the page in private and then make it public when I am due to open it. But I see that is not the case anymore. I found this feature handy in the past so you could do edits or get a page set up and looking good. I don't know why that irritates me so much...I suppose I will have to rush and get one sorted on the day or even closer to the time.
@@StewartGauld Ok cool thank you. I will set it up in the week before I open. As when you search the name of the page it pops up easy.. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for the updated information. On 2022 Facebook business page, you talked about unpublishing your page so you could get other things done to the page. Can you also unpublish while making your FB Biz page or does it stay unpublished until all is done?
Thank you very much, very easy to follow. I just wanted to ask why is my page not showing on search or Google search engine? is there anything I can do to find it on searching engines? Thank you
Thank you so much Stewart, that was an amazing watch. So clear and precise instructions now im off to watch some more of your uploads, this video was so helpful i have the feeling by watching all of your uploads i am going to learn loads and get my tech into order. 5*
Hi Stewart. Really loving your videos. I've set up a Facebook business page but it won't let me connect my WhatsApp business account? It says I need to be Admin of my own page and mentions MetaBusiness Suite. I'm a bit lost! Can you help please? Thanks!
Hi, Stewart. How do I create a slide show for my facebook business cover page? The dropdown menu "create slideshow" under edit facebook cover page no longer appears to be in this spot described in You-tube tutorials?
Regarding to messages on the Facebook page, I have message as an option for my clients to contact me. However, I haven’t figured out where the incoming message are.. please help. Thank you in advance for your time
Hi Stewart , I am trying to set-up a facebook business page as per your instructions above. for CTA (call to action)button, i can not see the 3rd option - "Link on Website". I can only see "shop on facebook" and "Connect Another Tool" option. Hence, I am not able to link the page to my shopify website. Kindly advice.
Is there a way to create a stand alone fb business page? I don’t want to add my personal account to a business page? Or should I set up a new ‘personal’ account and go from there? There should be a way to make a stand alone page 🤔
Hey, Your business page is a stand alone business page and is not associated to your personal account. But you still NEED to use your personal account, this is so FB knows you are a real person creating a page. Do not create a new personal page for this, it might be disabled.
Hi Stewart, i hope you can help me again...i am so confused....i created a page from my personal fb for a business, is the business page and the business account two different things? because now when i log in to fb i get to my account, from there i switch to the page but i get to another pages before i can switch to the actual business page, i hope this makes sense. i don't really know how to explain this. i would be happy if you can help.
Hi Michell, The business page will be managed in your Business manager (Meta Business Suite). All your business related tools on FB will be found in here.
Can people see under your personal account that you have Facebook business page? And vice-versa can they see your personal account when they view the business page?
Great video. Thanks for posting. I am struggling to figure out how to get a customized URL in the meta business suite. I can't change the picture and it is not letting me customize the Facebook page. Any help or references is appreciated!
I followed all of your steps however people are not receiving my invites and doesn't appear I can be found on facebook. This is my 2nd attempt at this and cannot understand the problem. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Hi great tutorial, however facebook will NOT let me use ARTIST as a category, sadly. There are a lot of us creatives out there, not sure how to go about this. ( And yet I am able to view other artists pages who have Artist showing as their category. )
Hi Stewart and thank you so much for amazing, helpful content!! I have one question I cannot figure out because there is only outdated info out there on it....: How to create a location on FB/IG and then connect it to FB business page? It's easy to create a FB post and create my own location to check in to. That then creates a location page - but how to connect that location page to FB business page? And how to enable that location to be tagged/found on IG? ...There is only outdated info out there and FB is changing its platform like underwear.... Let me know if you have a video on this :) Thanks again!!
Hi Stewart, I'm going to run ads for my client and I'm going to need to create a new facebook page, Thanks for this! How do I connect that page then so I can run the ads for them?
Thank you Stewart for this video, I find it very helpful. However, I've been trying to create a Facebook page for days now and it says I can't create a page because I've created many pages recently. I don't know why I'm getting such message because this is the first page I'll be creating. Please, what do I do to rectify this problem? Thank you.
Hey Pelumi, That has happened to a few people which is frustrating. I will have to investigate this.

Is there any way to keep the FB business page private while you are setting it up before launch? The unpublish feature is now gone. You can deactivate the account temporarily but cannot make any changes to it then. How do I hide the page so I can edit it without anyone seeing?
Welcome! Your page will be live. However, people will not be able to discover it until you start inviting people to follow, like and start promoting and publishing content.
Stewart, this is a great video. Can I use this process to create a business page for a client? They have a profile account as I do. Will my adding them as a page roll connect them as the page owner, giving them the necessary endorsements? I would greatly appreciate your help with this.I haven't found a tutorial that gives this kind of information.
I watched 3 different tutorials, 8, 6 and 4 months old, and in each of them different menus are displayed that are not available in my account. Does FB change the menus every 2 months or what?
Hi thanks for the video it really helped me. I was wondering do you have any suggestions on what to include in my first Facebook Instagram welcome post.?
Could I. Please ask I’ve created a page but my contact details are grey like adress number ext… it should be blue so people can tap on it and call ..??? What am I doing wrong
Hello sir. I try to create a page but i usually get this popup message saying that "i have created too many pages and i need to come back later" whilst i have not created any page. Please do you have any approach on this?
Is it possible to still create a Public Figure page? I swear FB must change the layout and how things work every month because there's 10 different tutorials on the internet. I don't want to create a page that is business, meaning I don't want to sell anything, nor have the "review this business" thing, just want to promote my new youtube page. Is that still possible to do?
Hi Stewart, I'm from India. I've a website. When I'm trying to insert my website URL during creation of a facebook business page, I'm unable to save that. I'm really confused, what's the problem actually. If you can help me regarding this it'll be a great help for me. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks, Dip
If I were to do this for someone else would it be possible to have them start the set up with just the business name and category (so it's created from their own account) and then have them just skip through the following steps to get to the create page button and then have them add me on to finish setting it up for them?
Hi all! Don’t be an idiot & create a business on your FB iPhone & get mad & frustrated. 😖Instead get on your laptop & this video should show step by step what to do. This will save you a lot of time & emotional stress. UGH! You live & learn. 💕❤️🥳🎉🎊
Hi ! Just 1 question: so does my personal page “control” my business page ?? Meaning , if I want access to it I need to log in to my personal account ??
Thanks for replying. Also , basically whatever notifications I would get from my business page will go directly to my personal as normal right ? What about the option to add another user to the page ? Does that mean they need my personal password to be able to edit /view the page ?? Thanks in advance
Hey Stewart, AWESOME VIDEO! Question: I have someone who is wanting me to make a business Facebook Page for them. Is it possible to make the Business Page for them through my personal account and THEN transfer it to them? Hope that makes sense.
@@PageClark hi there....i have the same problem, i am helping someone with a business to get them set up, but i have set up the business page through my personal page, do i now need to give them full access to my personal account, how does this work, can they just take over the business page without having to log on to my personal account? or do i just create a new personal fb page to create a business page for them from there, but how do i get people to like the business page then? thanx again...hope this makes sense.
Hey thanks so much! I am trying to figure out how to make my new page Private and cannot find the answer. I've looked everywhere and all the information seems to be outdated. Can you help lol?
@@StewartGauld hey I appreciate it! I think that pages maybe cannot be private and I realized last night after going back to a couple”groups “ that a group is what I was needing to make. Not a page so sorry lol but thanks for responding!!
Hi, I have noticed in the past when I tried creating a new Facebook account and a new page, always means a restricted account that may end up never working. By chance do you know why?
Please if anyone can answer me, I will be so grateful. Thanks! Anytime that I want to create a meta business account, they keep telling me that ad access is restricted. I read multiple articles but everyone including meta kept telling me to verify my Identity. If i do this, I won't be allowed access at all as I am 16 year old trying to learn Facebook advertising. Also anytime I try to create a facebook page I am greeted with the you have created too many facebook pages error, and I have not created any facebook page at all.. ever. So my four questions are: 1. If I verify my identity, will I be able to access meta business as a 16 year old? 2. do I have to verify my Identity or is it something else? 3. If the above questions are not in my favor, how else can I learn and practice facebook advertising. 4. Why is my facebook saying I have too many pages when I have never created one, and how do I solve this? Thanks to you all :)
@@StewartGauld Thanks for your reply, I have not read all the terms of use but I will. I think the problem is that my facebook account has violated their policies a few times before so now I can't use it. I will create a new account that I will dedicate for just ads. Thanks again for your kind response 😌
Hi Stewart....thanx for the awesome vids. So a business owner asked if i could create and run his fp business page, in order for me to create a fb business page i need to create that business page from my personal account, if this business person wants access to the fb business page do i then need to give that person my personal fb page info for them to get to the business page... hope this makes sense....i really don't want to give out my personal info. or do i just go ahead and create a new profile for this person and the create the business page from there so if they decide to take over the page ...they then don't have my personal info.
Hey again, I think I have answered this. All you do is create the page with your profile and then add the owner as a user for that page too. The page is completely independent from your personal profile.
Now how do you add Marketplace to your Business Page. Google says you can. Where is the setting? I wish there was a way you do not need a personal page.
Hi Stewart, thanks for your easy to follow tutorials on creating a FB business page. I have a question. I currently have a personal FB account but want to create a separate FB one to showcase my handmade products. My details for my products are all under a business name with a different email and phone number to my personal account. How do I go about setting up a FB business page in this instance. Cheers
So if we do not have a personal facebook account, we cannot create a business page? I haven't used facebook since 2015 and deleted my account. Can I create a new account with my business name? Apparently it is asking me to use an actual name.
Hi Stewart! Thanks for the tutorial. I have a small issue with my business page. It was recently permanently banned from running ads with no clear reason. So now I'm forced to create a new page from scratch. I'm just worried how I'll do it especially since I already had a large following on my old one and quite a number of engagements. Is there any way I can restore that? Also, won't it confuse my audience and potential clients having two pages with the same business name? Kindly help me with this. thanks again!
@@StewartGauld Hi Stewart! So I tried getting my account from Facebook to have the restrictions removed but they said it's the final decision.😥 So I guess I'll be forced to create a new business page again. But how do I make sure my content here doesn't conflict with that on my old page because I don't want my clients to get confused. How do I gain back my large audience?
Hi Stewart please could you help? I have a business page for my cafe but in the last 6 months customers haven’t been able to check in or leave a review. It does not appear on the locations list. I think maybe because it thinks we are an artist/person instead of local business. Have tried changing category in the edit info but it only suggests artist, dancer, chef etc and has sections on hobbies, gender etc which are non applicable? Thanks!
I'm so glad you did this update. I was scratching my head trying to navigate my way around using your previous tutorial. So typical that it's changed.
Welcome! Yes very annoying right!

I followed all of your steps however people are not receiving my invites and doesn't appear I can be found on facebook. This is my 2nd attempt at this and cannot understand the problem. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Your welcome! Have you tried inviting from your Business Manager? We have a tutorial on this.
Hi great tutorial, however facebook will NOT let me use ARTIST as a category, sadly. There are a lot of us creatives out there, not sure how to go about this. ( And yet I am able to view other artists pages who have Artist showing as their category. )
Thanks for sharing! Are there any other similar option that relate to your page?
Hi Stewart and thank you so much for amazing, helpful content!! I have one question I cannot figure out because there is only outdated info out there on it....: How to create a location on FB/IG and then connect it to FB business page? It's easy to create a FB post and create my own location to check in to. That then creates a location page - but how to connect that location page to FB business page? And how to enable that location to be tagged/found on IG?
...There is only outdated info out there and FB is changing its platform like underwear....
Let me know if you have a video on this :)
Thanks again!!
Hey mate,
Welcome! I will get back to you on this.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@StewartGauld spot on!
Good job Steward, professional and structured tutorial.
Thank you kindly!
Hi Stewart, I'm going to run ads for my client and I'm going to need to create a new facebook page, Thanks for this! How do I connect that page then so I can run the ads for them?
Hey mate,
You will need to connect the page to the clients ad account.
Thank you Stewart for this video, I find it very helpful. However, I've been trying to create a Facebook page for days now and it says I can't create a page because I've created many pages recently. I don't know why I'm getting such message because this is the first page I'll be creating. Please, what do I do to rectify this problem? Thank you.
Hey Pelumi,
That has happened to a few people which is frustrating. I will have to investigate this.
Is there any way to keep the FB business page private while you are setting it up before launch? The unpublish feature is now gone. You can deactivate the account temporarily but cannot make any changes to it then. How do I hide the page so I can edit it without anyone seeing?
No one will find it until you start inviting friends and promoting your page.
thank you bro❤
Welcome mate
Thank you, this is awesome! Is there a way to not publish the age until I am ready to launch it?
Welcome! Your page will be live. However, people will not be able to discover it until you start inviting people to follow, like and start promoting and publishing content.
Stewart, this is a great video. Can I use this process to create a business page for a client? They have a profile account as I do. Will my adding them as a page roll connect them as the page owner, giving them the necessary endorsements? I would greatly appreciate your help with this.I haven't found a tutorial that gives this kind of information.
Yes you can!
@@StewartGauld thank you so much for your quick response.
I watched 3 different tutorials, 8, 6 and 4 months old, and in each of them different menus are displayed that are not available in my account. Does FB change the menus every 2 months or what?
Hey mate,
Unfortunately they change the interface often.
Hi thanks for the video it really helped me. I was wondering do you have any suggestions on what to include in my first Facebook Instagram welcome post.?
Hey Helen,
Great question! I suggest introducing your new business/brand and share what it is all about.
Hey Stew, under action button, after clicking 'view shop' the is no 'link on website' option only the top 2. Any suggestions? Cheers Mate
I will look into this. A few things have changed.
Hey Stewart found it under one of the 'Link to group or app' options. Hope its still a correct method@@StewartGauld
Could I. Please ask I’ve created a page but my contact details are grey like adress number ext… it should be blue so people can tap on it and call ..??? What am I doing wrong
Hey Lewis,
I will have to look into this.
Hello sir. I try to create a page but i usually get this popup message saying that "i have created too many pages and i need to come back later" whilst i have not created any page. Please do you have any approach on this?
Hey,
A few people have had this issue. I will have to look into it.
Is it possible to still create a Public Figure page? I swear FB must change the layout and how things work every month because there's 10 different tutorials on the internet. I don't want to create a page that is business, meaning I don't want to sell anything, nor have the "review this business" thing, just want to promote my new youtube page. Is that still possible to do?
Hi Stewart, I'm from India. I've a website. When I'm trying to insert my website URL during creation of a facebook business page, I'm unable to save that. I'm really confused, what's the problem actually. If you can help me regarding this it'll be a great help for me. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks, Dip
Hey mate,
After you have created your page try again. Let me know how you go.
If I were to do this for someone else would it be possible to have them start the set up with just the business name and category (so it's created from their own account) and then have them just skip through the following steps to get to the create page button and then have them add me on to finish setting it up for them?
Hey mate,
Yes you can do it that way if you like.
Tq
Welcome!
Hi all! Don’t be an idiot & create a business on your FB iPhone & get mad & frustrated. 😖Instead get on your laptop & this video should show step by step what to do. This will save you a lot of time & emotional stress. UGH! You live & learn. 💕❤️🥳🎉🎊
Thanks for that mate!
Hi ! Just 1 question: so does my personal page “control” my business page ?? Meaning , if I want access to it I need to log in to my personal account ??
Hey mate,
Correct!
Thanks for replying. Also , basically whatever notifications I would get from my business page will go directly to my personal as normal right ? What about the option to add another user to the page ? Does that mean they need my personal password to be able to edit /view the page ??
Thanks in advance
Hey Stewart, AWESOME VIDEO! Question: I have someone who is wanting me to make a business Facebook Page for them. Is it possible to make the Business Page for them through my personal account and THEN transfer it to them? Hope that makes sense.
Hey Page,
Yes you can do this. Common situation people find themselves in.
@@StewartGauld Thanks so much for your speedy response Stewart, I really appreciate it!
@@PageClark hi there....i have the same problem, i am helping someone with a business to get them set up, but i have set up the business page through my personal page, do i now need to give them full access to my personal account, how does this work, can they just take over the business page without having to log on to my personal account? or do i just create a new personal fb page to create a business page for them from there, but how do i get people to like the business page then?
thanx again...hope this makes sense.
Hello! How can add long description more than 101 symbols?
You are limited unfortunately.
Powerful tutorial.
Thanks mate!
Hey thanks so much! I am trying to figure out how to make my new page Private and cannot find the answer. I've looked everywhere and all the information seems to be outdated. Can you help lol?
Glad I could help! I will look into this for you.
@@StewartGauld hey I appreciate it! I think that pages maybe cannot be private and I realized last night after going back to a couple”groups “ that a group is what I was needing to make. Not a page so sorry lol but thanks for responding!!
Hi, I have noticed in the past when I tried creating a new Facebook account and a new page, always means a restricted account that may end up never working. By chance do you know why?
Yes new accounts have that problem. It's best to create a page through a creditable (old) personal account.
should i create facebook page from my main profile or from business manager please answer
Yes correct, from your profile.
Please if anyone can answer me, I will be so grateful. Thanks!
Anytime that I want to create a meta business account, they keep telling me that ad access is restricted. I read multiple articles but everyone including meta kept telling me to verify my Identity.
If i do this, I won't be allowed access at all as I am 16 year old trying to learn Facebook advertising.
Also anytime I try to create a facebook page I am greeted with the you have created too many facebook pages error, and I have not created any facebook page at all.. ever.
So my four questions are:
1. If I verify my identity, will I be able to access meta business as a 16 year old?
2. do I have to verify my Identity or is it something else?
3. If the above questions are not in my favor, how else can I learn and practice facebook advertising.
4. Why is my facebook saying I have too many pages when I have never created one, and how do I solve this?
Thanks to you all :)
Hey mate,
Thanks for your comment. I cannot guide you through this due to you being this age. Have you read through there terms of use?
@@StewartGauld Thanks for your reply, I have not read all the terms of use but I will. I think the problem is that my facebook account has violated their policies a few times before so now I can't use it. I will create a new account that I will dedicate for just ads. Thanks again for your kind response 😌
Do you need to have a website already in order to open it on Facebook?
No you do not. Just a personal profile.
Hi Stewart....thanx for the awesome vids. So a business owner asked if i could create and run his fp business page, in order for me to create a fb business page i need to create that business page from my personal account, if this business person wants access to the fb business page do i then need to give that person my personal fb page info for them to get to the business page... hope this makes sense....i really don't want to give out my personal info. or do i just go ahead and create a new profile for this person and the create the business page from there so if they decide to take over the page ...they then don't have my personal info.
Hey again,
I think I have answered this. All you do is create the page with your profile and then add the owner as a user for that page too. The page is completely independent from your personal profile.
@@StewartGauldlol...thanx Stewart got it....i think i just missed that part....thanx
Hi Stewart, is it possible to sell your products on Facebook Marketplace through the business page?
Hey mate,
Yes you can through paid activities.
Hi Stew under action button there are only 2 options. There is no 'link on website ' any suggestions?
Hey mate,
Are you sure?
@StewartGauld Yeah sure M8.
Now how do you add Marketplace to your Business Page. Google says you can. Where is the setting? I wish there was a way you do not need a personal page.
What do you mean? Like access the marketplace from your business page?
I was finally able to add a CTA button but can't figure out how to change the url. Suggestions?
Hey Susan,
We show you how to change your username in this video. That will change your URL.
at 9:03 i can not see LINK ON WEBSITE What shoul I do?
You can find link in your page details.
Hi Stewart
Can we have more than one CTA buttons on our Facebook Business Page.??
You can one at the top. However, when you create posts you can add different CTA's.
Hi Stewart, thanks for your easy to follow tutorials on creating a FB business page. I have a question. I currently have a personal FB account but want to create a separate FB one to showcase my handmade products. My details for my products are all under a business name with a different email and phone number to my personal account. How do I go about setting up a FB business page in this instance. Cheers
Hey mate,
Good question. The same process with this. Create the page and then connect your products.
@@StewartGauld ok, I will give it a go from my current personal account and create the page and attach my products. Cheers and thanks
So if we do not have a personal facebook account, we cannot create a business page? I haven't used facebook since 2015 and deleted my account. Can I create a new account with my business name? Apparently it is asking me to use an actual name.
Correct. You will need a personal profile first.
Hi Stewart! Thanks for the tutorial. I have a small issue with my business page. It was recently permanently banned from running ads with no clear reason. So now I'm forced to create a new page from scratch. I'm just worried how I'll do it especially since I already had a large following on my old one and quite a number of engagements. Is there any way I can restore that? Also, won't it confuse my audience and potential clients having two pages with the same business name? Kindly help me with this. thanks again!
Hey Derric,
Your welcome. I suggest you get in touch with FB support first before you do this and try get that page back.
@@StewartGauld Hi Stewart! So I tried getting my account from Facebook to have the restrictions removed but they said it's the final decision.😥 So I guess I'll be forced to create a new business page again. But how do I make sure my content here doesn't conflict with that on my old page because I don't want my clients to get confused. How do I gain back my large audience?
Hi Stewart please could you help? I have a business page for my cafe but in the last 6 months customers haven’t been able to check in or leave a review. It does not appear on the locations list. I think maybe because it thinks we are an artist/person instead of local business. Have tried changing category in the edit info but it only suggests artist, dancer, chef etc and has sections on hobbies, gender etc which are non applicable? Thanks!
Hey mate!
I suggest reaching out to FB chat support on this.
