What’s the benefit of customizing Facebook Marketplace settings?
All of the information you add to your business profile on Facebook Marketplace appears in the search results when people look for local businesses like yours. By customizing your Facebook Marketplace settings, you can make your profile more visible to people searching for the products or services that you sell.
Remember that people use Facebook Marketplace to shop for local products and services, so it’s important to use this feature to share what your business offers. You’ll increase the visibility of your business, which might lead to more sales and customer leads.
Another benefit of customizing your Facebook Marketplace settings is that it’s easy to do. Since you’re probably already familiar with Facebook, you can get started in no time. Facebook Marketplace also allows you to add and update the information in your business profile as often as you’d like, so you can always keep your business information fresh.
How to customize Facebook Marketplace settings?
To customize your Facebook Marketplace settings, follow these steps:
- Open Facebook Marketplace.
- Click the “Marketplace” menu in the top-right corner of your screen.
- Select “Edit Business”.
- Modify your business profile by adding or editing information in each section.
- Save your changes.
Change your profile photo
The first thing potential customers see on your Facebook Marketplace business profile is the profile photo. Choose a photo that will help people identify your business. You can either use a photo of your storefront or a photo of your employees. You can also create a collage of photos that reflects the products and services you sell.
If you want to use a photo of your storefront, make sure that the image is clear and high-quality. Use a photo that shows your business during store hours so that people can see if you are open. If you have a brick-and-mortar store, try to take a photo of your location during the daytime.
Customize your About page
Facebook Marketplace allows you to add an About page, which is a section of your business profile that gives potential customers information about your company. The About page is an excellent place to share your company’s history, mission, or what makes you unique.
The About page is a great place to include any special offers or promotions currently running at your business. You can also add information about your business hours, phone number, or website address. Make sure that this information is up-to-date so customers can easily find you.
Add a welcome message
The welcome message is a small section at the top of your Facebook Marketplace business profile that welcomes potential customers to your business. This section is a great place to be welcoming and friendly. Your welcome message is your first interaction with customers, and it can set the tone for future interactions.
This is a great place to thank customers for their interest in your business, share any special deals you have going on, and ask customers to connect with you on Facebook.
Select categories for your business
Facebook Marketplace allows you to select up to five categories that best describe your business. These categories help customers find businesses like yours when they’re browsing the Marketplace. If you are a retailer, you might use categories like “Clothing” or “Home goods”.
If you offer services, you might use categories like “Electronics repair” or “Electronic services”. If you don’t know which categories to select, think about the products or services you offer and where they could be useful to your customers.
Edit your business description
The business description is the text that appears beneath the images of your Facebook Marketplace business profile. This section is where you can expand on the information you provided in your About page.
In the business description, you can include details about the products or services you offer, your advantages as a business, or any special offers you have at the moment. This is also where you can mention any holiday promotions or sales events at your store.
Add Your Location to Facebook Marketplace
If you have a brick-and-mortar business, you can add your address to Facebook Marketplace. You can add your physical address, which is visible to all customers, or you can add your mailing address, which is only visible to people who click on “get directions” from the search results.
The address that you add to Facebook Marketplace helps customers find your business. If you don’t add a physical address, customers will have a harder time finding you. If you have a physical address, you can add it to your Facebook Marketplace business profile by following these steps:
- Open Facebook Marketplace.
- Click on “Edit Business” in the top-right corner of your screen.
- Select “Add a physical address”.
- Save your changes.
Decide who can see your contact information
By default, customers can see your contact information, including your phone number, email address, and website address. You can change who can see this information by customizing your Facebook Marketplace settings. If you don’t want customers to see your contact information, you can uncheck the “show contact information” box.
However, it’s important to keep your contact information updated. You can remind yourself to update your contact information by adding a note to the “Notes” section of your Facebook Marketplace business profile.
Add information about the services you offer
The final section of your Facebook Marketplace business profile is the services section. In this section, you can add information about the services you offer. You can also select a “primary service”, which will appear at the top of the services section. This is a great place to add information about the services you offer, including prices and payment methods.
You can also mention any special offers or discounts that apply to your services. Remember that customers can only see the information that you post in this section. If you don’t offer the services customers are looking for, they won’t see an option to contact you.
