   You don’t need to stick to the default settings, personalise it for you and your business.
4. Complete the ‘About us’ section
   Tell your brand story with a beautiful image.
5. Add milestones
   Don’t forget to include an image and a call to action.
6. Pinned posts
   This is a post that you can manually select to stay at the top of your timeline, so it is the first post visitors see when visiting your page.  Change it regularly.

8. Keywords
   Keywords also matter in Facebook posts, captions, titles, tags, categories, and video descriptions.

10. Video

11. Stories
    Facebook stories last 24 hours and are the latest format for content creators.  Following the way stories are used on Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp, it’s predicted that stories on Facebook will be the main way that users will share posts with their friends.  How are you using stories as part of your strategy? See this article from Buffer for more ideas.
12. Messenger
    Have you set up default replies in Messenger?  Have you thought about using a chatbot?  Adding personalisation in Messenger is advantageous because in a Facebook study, 69 percent of U.S. respondents said that direct messaging a company helps them feel more confident about the brand.

With 94% of brands on Facebook, maybe it’s time to consider your Facebook page as an extension of your brand’s website or think of your website as an extension of your Facebook page?
