Do you have a Facebook Business Page?

Lately, I have been playing around with Facebook trying to determine if I want to offer more software development services [I am a software consultant] to users of this popular social media site.

As I have played around-- I have discovered it is not that easy to add pre-existing widgets to Facebook pages. So my questions to other business owners:

[1] Do you have a business page on Facebook?
[2] Did you have a web development firm design your page? Do it yourself?
[3] Have you found more clients because of your business page versus your personal profile page?
[4] Was it worth putting it up [ROI]?

Here is a business page that I feel is well done:

would you want something similar for your business? BTW-- I am not ready to offer my services so this is not a promotion for my company.

Q...

 

Yes. I do have my business and it is advertise on facebook. Please check it out on facebook under Plecco Technologies and become a fan.

 

I've been using facebook more than 2 years and never get any projects from fan site, open groups or personal profile page, but I got lot of projects from the companies and FB friends in private groups. It's not easy and it can take months to get invitation and approval from the creator/admin, most big companies always asked you made offline presentation in their office/rep office before send the group invitation.

 

yes i have my fan page & i used it properly it is work for me i add some application in its is work for me

 

Are you doing good in your business with facebook.Is it really driving traffic.

 

Creating a business page at facebook is good way to promote your business and your site. it also help in creating in creating brand awareness.

 

[1] Do you have a business page on Facebook? Yes

[2] Did you have a web development firm design your page? Do it yourself?
Did it myself, there's not to much to it.

[3] Have you found more clients because of your business page versus your personal profile page? Indeed, It has increased my website traffic.

[4] Was it worth putting it up [ROI]?Yes, it only took a few minutes, and only takes a few minutes of maintenance a week.

 

Have a facebook business page but needs updating. Probably why it hasn't had many views

 

I agree, page and profile increased the traffic website. But it's not useful to find new clients or get new projects.

 

None at the moment. I don't have any FB business page. But I often advertise my sites in Facebook by participating in relevant FB groups. It's such a good way to generate site traffic.

 

It depends on what your business offers and what your demographics are.

 

ya i have

 

Yes, we have a business page on Facebook and we are on Twitter also. My goal is to get people in coming to us for information and staying to make purchases.

 

I've been using FaceBook since 2 years and I've designed face book fan page which includes Twitter tab, Blog Tab. you may like to visit.

I think the niche is very important. My ex company set up one and it did not work at all.

 

I just try to use facebook.I have increased traffic.

 

I don t like facebook.

 

[1] Do you have a business page on Facebook?
Yep.
[2] Did you have a web development firm design your page? Do it yourself?
I designed the page by myself, but I'm a designer though. It wasn't very hard.
[3] Have you found more clients because of your business page versus your personal profile page?
Yes!
[4] Was it worth putting it up [ROI]?
Yes, I get a lot of visitors from my facebook page — recommanded!

 

I agree with those that say that FB page doesn't drive too much traffic; it is more of a hedge against negative brand reputation.

 

We have been using facebook and it has brought some decent traffic and sales.
