6. Add a Call-to-Action Button (e.g. Shop Now)

By default, you’ll see a button on your page (like a generic one).

Next, let’s change it to something useful like “Shop Now”.

6.1 Change the Button

  1. Go back to your Facebook page
  2. Click “Add a button” (or “Edit button” if already added)

You’ll see different options like:

  • Shop Now
  • Contact Us
  • Learn More
  • Call Now
  • Send Message

Let’s select “Shop Now”.

6.2 Link the Button to Your Website

  1. After selecting Shop Now, you’ll be asked for a URL.
  2. Go to your website’s products page (e.g. “All Products”)
  3. Copy the URL
  4. Go back to Facebook & paste it into the URL field
  5. Click “Save”

Now, go back to the visitor’s window, refresh the page:

  • You’ll see the Shop Now button.
  • If a visitor clicks it, they’ll be taken to your products page.

7. Change Your Facebook Page URL (Username)

Right now, your page URL might look like this:

facebook.com/pages/1234567890...

But you may want a clean URL, like:

facebook.com/PickNaturals

7.1 Set a Custom Page URL

  1. Go back to your Facebook page
  2. Click on your page name or username area (or the settings where you can edit username)
  3. Enter the name you want in your URL (e.g. PickNaturals)
  4. Click “Create”

Now, refresh the visitor window and you’ll see the URL has changed.

⚠️ Note: If you get an error while changing the URL, it may be because your page has less than 25 followers.
Once you reach 25 followers, you’ll be able to change your page URL.


8. Create Your First Post on the Page

Once your page is ready, the next step is to start posting content.

8.1 How to Create a Post

  1. Go to your Facebook page
  2. Click “Create Post”
  3. Add an image:
    • Click the image option
    • Drag and drop or upload the image you want
  4. Add a description for your post

Once your post is ready, click “Post”.

Now, go back to the visitor window and refresh:

  • You’ll see that your post has been added to the page.

In the same way, you can create as many posts as you want.


9. Invite People to Like Your Page

Now you know how to create a page and post content.
Next, let’s invite people to follow your page.
