This is a quick and simple test to see how your Facebook business page measures up, what’s your score?

1. The About section – is your URL the first thing listed?

Your website’s URL should be the first thing listed under the about section.

2. Addition About information – are you providing links to all your other social media channels?

This enables your Facebook fans to have the option to follow you on other social networks.

1. What type of content will my brand be sharing?
2. Am I using photos or videos to accompany each status?
