Facebook Business Page vs. Personal Profile Page

Facebook has originally designed for people to connect with their family and friends, and their personal experiences. These are the primary objects for which Facebook has been designed.

So, when we talk about the Personal profile page it is solely to be created for the Individuals.

A personal profile page cannot represent a community, Business, brand; whereas Facebook Business Pages were created for promotion and marketing of artists, public figures, Personal Brands, Organizations, Businesses, and non-profits.

While you can use Facebook’s Personal profile page to express yourself and to communicate with family and friends and making new friends. A Facebook Business page is used to showcase your products, your services, Creating Business ads, collect donations, generate business leads, etc.

Facebook also restricts users to post any promotions on their personal timelines or even their family and friends’ timelines also. You will be only allowed to post promotional content on your Facebook business page Newsfeed.

One of the biggest differences is that Facebook has allowed only one account per person. Though the ground reality is different, people are using fake accounts too. But that’s what Facebook doesn’t want. So Facebook keeps an eye on personal accounts. If anything seems to be fishy, Facebook immediately restricts the Facebook account. While you can easily create multiple Facebook Business pages from your Personal Account.

These are some of the differences between the Facebook Personal Profile and the Facebook Business Page like features, Options, etc. We will cover them in a separate post. Let’s come back to our original topic on How to create a Facebook Business Page.
