…set up a Facebook account for a company?

I’ve seen the link at the bottom of the sign up page that says create entry for company etc, but this appears to default to a page with a URL facebook.com/pages/example

Not all product/ company pages seem to be listed in this way, e.g. http://www.facebook.com/SingularCycles

I’m not normally this thick, but I really can’t see what am I doing wrong or not doing?

Thanks,

Ian

p.s. this is for a bike related product…

i set up a fan page for ukbikeskills to keep it seperate from my facebook account

20 people need to like the page before you can set up the proper URL. You’re stuck with the extra /page until then.

Super, that what I needed to know. Cheers.

Good ol’ STW – solution in less than three minutes 😉

Ian set a page up and we’ll “like it” on the bivvy thread 😀

When it’s set up, you’ll get to hear about it – don’t worry 😉

20 people need to like the page before you can set up the proper URL.

They’ve recently changed it to needing 100 likes, which is a bit of a pain, but understandable, I suppose, given how easy it is to get 20 likes.

Ian my wife just set up a business page and they don’t make it easy for sure 🙁

Hers is for hair clips

Pete, yes that’s the sort of thing I’m trying to do. Does your wife have a separate account for that page or does she do it off the back of a normal account?

Ian, the doris opened a new account, then seemingly there is a part where you can link your personal account to it, did take some working out if I can remember.
