What is the difference between a Facebook page and a Facebook profile?

There are several differences between a Facebook page and a Facebook profile. First, unlike a profile, which is a private space, a Facebook page is public. Any member of the social network can consult a page while the publications of a profile can only be accessible to certain chosen people. In addition, the content of a Facebook page is referenced by search engines like Google or Bing, while private posts are not indexed and therefore not findable. In addition, a profile can have a maximum of 5 friends while a page can have an unlimited number of subscribers.

More generally, a Facebook profile is intended for an individual - and his circle of friends - while a Facebook page is designed for a legal person (company, brand, personality, organization, association, club, etc. .). The page is therefore more suitable for those who wish to communicate around their activity or their passion. Several customization options are available on a page and it is possible to publish more information than on a profile, in particular contact details (postal address, telephone numbers, website, etc.). In addition, there are many functions for measuring the audience of a page, communicating directly with visitors or even setting up advertising campaigns (paid option).

However, Facebook pages are not reserved only for professionals and other celebrities. Anyone with a Facebook account can create a page for free, whether on behalf of a company or an association or in a personal capacity. Please note, only authorized representatives can manage a page for a brand, a place, an organization or a public figure. Whatever your goal - insofar as it is allowed by the terms of use of Facebook - you can create a page in a few minutes, either on computer, with the web version of Facebook or on phone or tablet, with the mobile application.
