However, creating a business page does not trigger these notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about when your friends visit your page? Can they see that you own a business page? That question isn\u2019t so simple to answer. Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Your_Friends_Know_If_You_Have_A_Business_Page\"><\/span>Do Your Friends Know If You Have A Business Page?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"403\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/business_pages-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/business_pages-1.jpg 403w, https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/business_pages-1-300x272.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create a Business page, you can see the link on your Home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your friends won\u2019t see the same links when they visit your home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your friends or any other Facebook user visit the Business page, they won\u2019t see that you have created it unless you change the default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Facebook hides the admin owners of a Business page. If you want to change this so your profile is shown as an admin, you should open the Featured Page Owners option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This options page lists the owner accounts and whether they are displayed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Friends_See_Your_Business_Page\"><\/span>Can Friends See Your Business Page?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, any Facebook user can see your Business page as long as they can find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business pages are public so they are not even restricted to your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Your_Friends_Might_Guess_That_You_Have_A_Business_Page\"><\/span>How Your Friends Might Guess That You Have A Business Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/anonymous.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" width=\"330\" height=\"316\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The most obvious giveaway is if you share posts between your profile and business pages. If you\u2019re trying to keep your personal and business life completely separate, you probably know not to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not the only way that a friend might spot that you probably own a specific page. This is down to how Facebook promotes posts on a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post promotion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook doesn\u2019t notify friends of Business page creation, but they may get notified of posts on the page. But this isn\u2019t because they are your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook sends out notifications of posts to users who they think will be interested in the content. Their goal is to match people with relevant posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you and your FB friends often share the same interests, your friends may spot that they are getting more posts from a new Business page than they might expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the content of the posts, your friends may guess that you have some connection to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limiting who sees posts on your Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You do have some control over who sees the posts on your Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set limits on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Age<\/li><li>Gender<\/li><li>Language<\/li><li>Region or location<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say that most of your FB friends are college students but you\u2019re opening an online business targeting boomers. If you don\u2019t want your college pals to know about it, use the age filters for your post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another example. You live in the United Kingdom but are starting a business targeting an American audience. You can use the location filters to keep your posts from local family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Friends_Post_On_My_Business_Page\"><\/span>Can Friends Post On My Business Page?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any Facebook user can post comments on a business page. So, your friends are free to go all out on yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as a page owner, you can delete or hide any comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocking content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about pranks (humorous or malicious), you can also turn on the profanity filter. This may be important if you\u2019re concerned about specific people making your page look unprofessional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have the option to block specific words. If you\u2019re concerned that an otherwise reasonable friend has a habit of using slang that you don\u2019t want to see on this page, you can add certain words to the filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Show_Your_Business_Page_To_Your_Friends\"><\/span>How Do You Show Your Business Page To Your Friends?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This article has focused on your friends not seeing your page. But what if you want to show your beautiful creation to your buddies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can invite any friend to view your page. This gives them a notification with a link to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends don\u2019t make friend requests to \u201cjoin\u201d your page, but can they add likes to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_About_Facebook_Business_Pages\"><\/span>More About Facebook Business Pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These articles may also be useful to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/facebook-business-page-without-your-personal-account\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"330\">how to create a business page without using your personal account<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/ban-people-from-your-facebook-business-page\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"333\">how to block someone from your business page<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/deactivate-your-facebook-account-and-keep-your-business-page\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"355\">how to deactivate your personal account and keep your business page<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you about to create a business page but want to keep it separate from your personal life?
