How to Spot a Business Page

Simply put, a Facebook Business page represents a business or brand and showcases the services it provides. On the other hand, a Personal page represents a singular social media user and is used to share updates about the user’s personal life and to connect with friends and family. Your Personal page should not be used to promote your business in any manner; in fact, it is against Facebook’s policy to use a Personal page for business.

There are also numerous differences in the layout between the two Facebook page types. A Business page typically has a list of tabs underneath the profile picture that include additional information about the business, including About, Services, Reviews, Photos, Videos, and more. A Business page also gives you the option to Like or Follow the page,

A Personal page does not include these tabs. Instead, you’ll see an Intro of the user with their personal details, a grid of photos they are tagged in, and a list of their Facebook Friends. A Personal page only allows you to add the person as a Friend.
