How To Create A Group On Facebook For Business

About this video

He walks through creating a Facebook group for business and community building. Starting from the menu, he goes to manage groups and then create a group, recommending you put the main keyword at the very beginning of the group name — for example an e-commerce / online selling or print-on-demand mastermind name — because, he says, that ranks better in Facebook search. He sets the group to visible and private, optionally adds people, and pins it to shortcuts for easy access on the left side. After creating it, he points to uploading a banner, adding a description and location, and using the back-end controls: creating rules, setting membership questions people must answer before joining, moderating the group, scheduling posts through the week, checking admin activity and post topics, and the possibility of charging for membership. He stresses adding tags in edit group settings, saying tags related to your niche are very important so people searching in the top search bar can find the group. He frames groups broadly — buy-and-sell, hobbies, teaching, sports fans and other shared interests — as a way to gather like-minded people, control the community, and remove negative members to keep a positive vibe.

Key takeaways

• Create the group via manage groups > create a group, and put the main niche keyword at the beginning of the name to rank better in Facebook search.
