There are many factors you need to consider to operate a page smoothly. Likewise, your About section should contain sufficient information about you and your brand. Out of which, you shouldn’t forget to add an address to your Facebook business page.
Remember, there are many information you need to show on your page to function properly. Without such data, your followers will struggle to connect with you and may even lose trust in your brand.
For example, it is necessary to add an email and other contact info on your page for better communication, and add a website, if you have one, to redirect followers.
Likewise, without a correct address on your page, it is impossible to determine whether you are genuine.
So, without further ado, let’s learn to add an address to your Facebook business page so that people will know where to find you in the real world.
What is Your Facebook Page Location or Address?
The location of a Facebook page means the real-time address of an organization or influencer that operates it.
There are many types of business pages on social media. Some deal with selling products (physical or digital), and some involve sharing ideas and thoughts.
Whatever the type, there is always someone or an entity behind it. And it must have an address in real life.
Such location is necessary for local searching, verification, check-ins from Facebook, proper business details, ad targeting, and so on.
For instance, if you want to add a donate button on a Facebook page, you must include your correct location.
So, not only is this info necessary to provide correct details about your page to your followers, but it is also a must-have to get recognition by Facebook.
Furthermore, a business without a location is untrustworthy and will negatively impact its activities.
Overall, to gain trust, provide contact info in the real world, and get recognized, you should set your location or address on your page.
Can you Add the Address/Location to Facebook Page?
Yes, you can add the Address/location to your Facebook page as your contact address. People can use such info to find your business in the real world, send you mail, etc.
Remember, not every page is related to an entity, and it may not have a proper address. If you are a person operating a business profile, you may not be comfortable sharing your exact location.
In such a case, adding only the country or city you are currently in may suffice. So, depending on the page type, the location also needs to be adjusted.
Of course, if there is verification required by Facebook for any reason, you can provide them with your exact location then.
However, a business page dealing with a large number of customers must provide a detailed address of their entity. It can build genuine trust among the followers.
And Facebook also allows you to add a detailed map address in this section. So, people can easily use that map to find you.
Including your address, town/city, ZIP code, and neighborhood is beneficial for a professional page. So, consider adding all of them if possible.
