How to Set Up a Facebook Business Page the Right Way (Even If You’re Not Techy)
By Mike at Hendo.Today – Helping Hendersonville Businesses Get Online the Smart Way
If you’re a small business owner in Hendersonville, NC, chances are you’ve been told, “You need a Facebook Page.” And it’s true — whether you run a roofing company, a local restaurant, or a downtown boutique, your Facebook Page is one of the first places customers go to learn about you.
But if you’re not the most tech-savvy person, it can feel confusing. Where do you even start? Do you need a personal Facebook account first? What’s the difference between a Page and a profile?
Don’t worry. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how to set up a professional, fully optimized Facebook Business Page, even if you don’t know much about social media.
✅ Step 1: Use Your Personal Facebook Account to Create a Page
To create a Business Page, you need to be logged in to a personal Facebook account. This doesn’t mean your customers will see your personal profile — it just gives you the ability to manage your Page.
- Go to facebook.com/pages/create
- Choose a Page name — usually your business name
- Select a category (like “Roofing,” “Restaurant,” “Photographer,” etc.)
- Add a description – short and clear is best
🖼️ Step 2: Add Your Branding
Upload your:
- Profile photo (usually your logo)
- Cover photo (a photo of your storefront, work in action, or a custom graphic)
Want help designing these? At Hendo.Today, we create custom branding and content that fits your business perfectly.
📍 Step 3: Add Local Business Info
This is where Hendersonville SEO really matters. Make sure to:
- Add your address, phone number, and business hours
- Use keywords like “Hendersonville,” “Western North Carolina,” or your service area in your About section
💡 Example:
“We’re a locally owned roofing company serving Hendersonville and surrounding areas since 2005.”
👥 Step 4: Invite Trusted People to Help Manage Your Page
Click Professional Dashboard > Page Access and invite trusted team members or your marketing partner (like me!) to help manage posts, messages, and more. This avoids having to share your personal Facebook login.
📲 Step 5: Make Your First Posts
Post a welcome message, show off your space or service, or highlight a product. You can even pin a post to the top so new visitors see it first.

🚀 Bonus: Why a Facebook Page Is a Must for Local SEO
Facebook Pages show up on Google — and when someone searches “pizza near me” or “Hendersonville roofing,” your Page can appear alongside your website. That means more visibility, more trust, and more customers.
