PostEaseThe short answer
A Facebook Page is a public presence on Facebook that sits apart from your personal profile. Facebook’s Help Center says Pages “are for businesses, brands, organizations and public figures to share updates and connect with people,” and describes a Page as “a separate profile with access to professional tools.”
Pages are public by default, anyone can follow one, more than one person can manage it, and it does not need a real name. You need a personal profile to create a Page, and you can have more than one. People who follow a Page start seeing its updates in their Feed.
Page, pro mode or group
Facebook offers three ways to reach people beyond your friends. From its Help Center:
| Option | What it is | Who manages it | Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page | A separate public profile with professional tools, for businesses, brands, organizations, public figures and creators | One or more people | Any name; no real name required |
| Professional mode | A setting on your main profile so anyone can follow you, with insights and monetization tools | Only you | Your real name |
| Group | A place to talk about shared interests with certain people, with its own privacy settings | One or more admins | The group’s name |
Creating a Page
Facebook’s steps, on a computer:
- Log in, click Pages on the left, then Create Page.
- Select Public Page, click Next, then Get Started.
- Add the Page name and category, and an optional bio, then click Create Page.
- Add contact information, location and hours; add a profile picture, cover photo and action button.
- Optionally connect WhatsApp, invite friends, and choose notification settings.
After it exists
A few settings shape how a Page is found and run:
| Setting | What Facebook says |
|---|---|
| Username | Appears under the Page name and in its address, facebook.com/username; needs Facebook access to the Page; new Pages may have to wait, and inactive usernames may be removed |
| Access | Anyone with a Facebook account can help manage a Page if they are given access |
| Action button | A button on the Page you can edit when setting it up |
| Monetization | Check whether the Page is eligible in Meta Business Suite |
| Groups | A Page admin can create a group as the Page |
Page or pro mode?
Facebook frames the choice around separation. Professional mode turns your existing profile, under your real name, into a public one you manage alone; Facebook suggests it for a creator who wants to grow from an existing network. A Page is a separate presence, can carry a brand name and can have several managers; Facebook suggests it for promoting a creator, business or organization apart from your personal profile.
PostEase connects Facebook Pages you manage and schedules posts to them beside every other platform. YouTube, X, LinkedIn (personal profile), Pinterest, Bluesky, and WordPress publishing are live today; Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads are pending each platform's own API approval.
Questions
Do I need a personal profile to make a Facebook Page?
Yes. Facebook says you must have a profile, your main profile, to create or help manage a Page.
Can a Facebook Page have more than one manager?
Yes. More than one person can manage a Page, which is one of the differences from a profile in professional mode, which only you can manage.
Can I have more than one Facebook Page?
Yes. Facebook says you can have more than one Page.
Does a Facebook Page need my real name?
No. Pages do not require a real name and are designed for public use. A profile in professional mode still uses your real name.
