A Facebook Page

A Facebook Page is a business account on Facebook. A business Page is an area on Facebook where people have to click the “Like” button in order to see your content in their news feed. Unlike the personalProfile,whichis2-waycommunication(i.e.WhenyoufriendsomeonethroughyourProfile,yousee their updates in your news feed, and they see your updates in their news feed), a Facebook Page isone-wayonly.Thismeansthatthepersonwholikesyour Page will see your Page updates in their news feed, but youwill NOT see their Profile updates inyour news feed.
