### 🪜 Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Facebook Page

#### **Step 1: Log in to Facebook**

Before creating your Page, ensure you have a **personal Facebook account**.

> ⚠️ **Important:** Facebook Pages must always be created from a personal account belonging to a real individual. Pages cannot be created using fake names or business-only accounts.

To get started:

1. Go to <https://www.facebook.com>.
2. Log in with your Facebook credentials.
3. Once logged in, click on the **“Menu”** (top right) → select **“Pages”** → then click **“Create New Page.”**

#### **Step 2: Choose the Type of Page**

You’ll be prompted to choose a Page type. Select **“Public Page”**, as this option is designed for businesses, brands, and organizations that want to connect with the public.

***

#### **Step 3: Enter Basic Page Details**

In this section, you’ll define your brand identity. Make sure the information matches your business documentation to avoid verification issues later.

Fill in the following:

* **Page Name:** Your official business or brand name (e.g., *Donderstorm Auto Services*).
* **Category:** Choose one that best describes your business — for instance, *Software Company*, *Consulting Agency*, *Educational Institute*, or *Retail Store*.
* **Bio/Description:** Write a short, clear introduction about your business in 2–3 lines. Example:

  > “Donderstorm is a vehicle maintenance booking platform that connects customers with trusted service providers.”

📝 **Pro Tip:**\
Keep your business name and category consistent with your **GST certificate, incorporation documents**, or any legal proof. Meta cross-verifies these details during Business Verification later.

#### **Step 4: Add Your Branding Elements**

A Page with complete visual branding builds trust and recognition.

1. **Profile Picture:** Upload your business logo (preferably square, 400x400 pixels).
2. **Cover Photo:** Add a banner that visually represents your brand. Ideal dimensions: 820x312 pixels.
3. Adjust the positioning of both images to ensure they appear centered and clear.

🔍 **Why this matters:**\
A professional logo and cover instantly help customers identify your official business Page and distinguish it from similar pages or impostors.

***

#### **Step 5: Connect WhatsApp (Optional but Highly Recommended)**

Integrating WhatsApp with your Facebook Page lets customers contact you directly via chat.

Here’s how to connect:

1. Click **“Connect WhatsApp”** while setting up your Page.
2. Enter your **WhatsApp Business number**.
3. Meta will send you a **5-digit verification code** via WhatsApp — enter it to confirm.
4. Once verified, a **“Message us on WhatsApp”** button will automatically appear on your Page.

💡 **Tip:**\
Use your official business WhatsApp number to ensure brand consistency and a seamless customer experience.

***

#### **Step 6: Add Additional Business Information**

To increase credibility and help customers reach you, add as much detail as possible:

* **Website URL:** Link to your company website or portfolio page.
* **Business Email:** Use a professional domain-based email (e.g., *<support@yourcompany.com>*).
* **Address:** If you have a physical office or registered business location, include it here.

Adding these details signals authenticity and makes your Page appear more trustworthy to both customers and Meta’s verification systems.

***

#### **Step 7: Publish and Review Your Page**

Once all information and branding are complete:

1. Click on **“Publish Page.”**
2. Review all fields for accuracy — especially your Page name, contact details, and category.
3. Visit your newly published Page and ensure it appears correctly across desktop and mobile.

Your **Facebook Page is now live!**\
This Page will serve as the identity you connect to your **Meta Business Portfolio** and **WhatsApp Business Account** later.

***

### 💡 Meta Best Practices

* **Use Real and Consistent Information:** The name, address, and website on your Page should match the information in your official business documents.
* **Avoid Fake or Placeholder Pages:** Meta routinely reviews business Pages, and inconsistencies may lead to restrictions or removal.
* **Use an Official Domain Email:** Having an email that matches your business domain improves trust and verification success.
* **Assign Page Roles Carefully:** Add only trusted team members or verified DoubleTick representatives (with *@quicksell.co* emails).
