How do I access a Facebook page I manage?

Accessing a Facebook page you manage is easy once you know where to look. As the page administrator, you have full control over the page and can post content, edit settings, view insights, and add or remove other administrators. Here are some quick answers to common questions about accessing your Facebook pages:

How do I get to my Facebook pages?

There are a couple ways to access your Facebook pages:

  • From your personal Facebook profile, click on the arrow in the top right corner and select “Manage Pages” from the dropdown menu. This will take you to a list of all the pages you admin.
  • Go directly to facebook.com/pages to see a list of pages you manage.

What if I don’t see my page listed?

If you don’t see a page you know you administer listed, here are some things to check:

  • Make sure you are logged into the correct Facebook account that was added as an admin for that page.
  • Check if you were removed as an admin on that page by another admin.
  • If it’s a new page, it can sometimes take a few hours for Facebook to register your admin access.

How do I switch between my personal profile and my pages?

When you are viewing one of your Facebook pages, you will see your personal profile photo and name in the top left corner. Click on this and you can easily switch back to your personal profile. Your pages will display a small “Admin” label below the name to indicate you are viewing them as a page admin.

Can I post to my pages from the mobile app?

Yes, you can manage your Facebook pages completely from the Facebook mobile app. Just tap on the “Pages” tab at the bottom to see your list of pages. Tap on the page you want to manage to switch to that page’s view. You can then post, edit settings, see insights, etc just like on the desktop site.

How do I change the admin roles on my page?

As the primary page admin, you have full control over adding, removing, and changing admin roles on your page:

  1. From your page, click “Settings” in the bottom left
  2. Select “Page Roles” from the left menu
  3. Here you can add new admins, remove existing ones, or change their roles

What are the different admin roles?

There are three different admin roles you can assign for your Facebook page:

  • Admin – Has full control over the page and can add/remove other admins
  • Editor – Can post as the page, edit page info, create ads, and view insights
  • Moderator – Can respond to and delete comments on the page

The page creator will automatically be a full Admin. Use the Editor and Moderator roles to add specialized access for others managing your page.

Can I add two-factor authentication?

For added security, you can enable two-factor authentication for your page access. This requires you to enter a code from your mobile device when logging into that page from a new browser. To set this up:

  1. Go to the Facebook page Security settings
  2. Click “Require two-factor authentication to manage this Page”
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish enabling it

How do I get insights about my Facebook page?

As a page admin, you have access to detailed analytics and statistics about your page’s performance. Here’s how to find them:

  1. Navigate to your page
  2. Click “Insights” in the top menu bar
  3. Analyze Followers, Reach, Posts, People, and other metrics
  4. Filter by date ranges or drill into specific posts

Monitoring your Facebook insights regularly is crucial to see what content and strategies are working well. Use these stats to fine tune your approach.

Can I get notifications when new messages/comments come in?

As a page manager, you likely want to stay on top of new messages and comments from your audience. Under the Notifications settings for your page, you can choose to receive alerts via email or Facebook when new items come in.

You can customize notifications for:

  • New comments on your posts
  • New messages
  • Declined messages
  • Reviews

Turning these on will help you monitor conversations and respond quickly if needed.

How can I see all my pages in one place?

The Facebook Pages Manager app provides a convenient dashboard to oversee all your pages at a glance. Features include:

  • Posting to multiple pages at once
  • Reviewing recent notifications and messages
  • Analyzing page stats and trends
  • Monitoring keywords and responding to comments

The Pages Manager is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android. Install it to easily stay on top of all your pages on the go.

Can I schedule posts in advance?

Yes, you can use Facebook’s built-in scheduling tool to plan your posts in advance:

  1. When creating a post, click the arrow next to Publish
  2. Select “Schedule” and pick a date/time to publish it
  3. Hit “Schedule” to queue it up

Scheduling posts is a great way to make sure your page stays active even when you can’t manually post regularly.

How do I create a Page for my business?

Creating a Facebook Page is free and easy to set up. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to facebook.com/pages/create
  2. Select the category that best fits your business
  3. Add your business name and contact details

Can I run ads on my Facebook Page?

As a Page admin, you have the option to run Facebook ads to promote your posts and increase your reach. Here’s how to get started:

  1. From your Page, go to “Settings” then “Advertising”
  2. Choose whether to run ads directly through Facebook or use an external ad agency
  3. Select your campaign objective, target audience, placements and budget
  4. Create your ads and send them for approval
  5. Monitor performance and optimize as needed

Facebook ads offer powerful targeting options to get your posts in front of the right people. Take advantage of this to grow your audience and engagement.

Can I see who’s following my Facebook page?

Unfortunately Facebook does not provide Page admins with the list of people who like or follow your Page. This protects privacy and prevents misuse.

However, you can still get some useful information about your audience from your Facebook Page Insights. In the People section, you can analyze metrics like:

  • Gender, age range, and language split
  • Top cities and countries your audience lives in
  • When your followers are most active on Facebook

While not a full list of followers, these demographics can still help guide your content strategy and messaging.

How can I tag my Facebook page in posts and photos?

You can tag your Facebook Page in posts to help spread awareness and get more people to follow it. Here’s how it works:

  • When creating a post or photo, type “@” followed by your Page name and select it from the dropdown.
  • The Page name will turn into a tag linking people back to the Page.
  • Tagging works in status updates, comments, and photo captions.

Get in the habit of tagging your Page regularly. This makes it clickable which helps new users discover and follow your Page more easily.

Can I merge multiple Facebook pages together?

Unfortunately Facebook does not offer the ability to officially merge or consolidate multiple pages into one. Some possible workarounds include:

  • Creating a new unified page, and promoting it to fans of your other pages
  • Posting consistently on one main page, while phasing out posts on other pages you want to consolidate
  • Using Facebook Groups to combine followings in one place

Think carefully before merging pages, as you don’t want to confuse your audience or lose their followership in the transition.

Should I create a Facebook profile or page for my business?

Facebook profiles are for individual personal use, while Facebook Pages are designed specifically for businesses, brands, organizations, and public figures.

Some key differences between profiles and Pages:

Facebook Profile Facebook Page
– Used to represent an individual person – Used to represent a business, brand, organization, etc
– Followers are called “friends” – Followers are called “fans” or “likers”
– 5,000 friend limit – No limit on how many people can follow
– Limited analytics and insights – Built-in analytics through Facebook Insights
– Cannot run Facebook ads – Eligible to run Facebook ads and promotions

In most cases, creating a Facebook Page is more suitable and effective for promoting a business or brand.

How do I delete a Facebook page I no longer need?

To delete a Facebook page you admin:

  1. Go to your list of managed Pages
  2. Click the 3 dots next to the Page name
  3. Select “Delete [Page Name]”
  4. Confirm again that you want to permanently delete it

Before deleting, consider transferring important data, posts, and fans to another related Page if possible. Once deleted, a Page and all its content will be permanently removed.

Conclusion

Managing your Facebook Pages is crucial to running an effective presence on the platform. As the admin, make sure to tap into the many available tools to analyze performance, schedule content, customize roles, and more. Staying hands-on with your Pages will help nurture your audience and support your business goals through Facebook.
