Types of Facebook Pages

Facebook separates Pages into 17 categories and many subcategories, of which the four most common are:-

Brands

Services

People

Stuff

The Facebook Page setup process will guide you through choosing the right one for your needs. It’s best not to get too hung up on the label you choose for the Page; few people will ever see it anyway. It is displayed next to your name and the number of connections on the search Page, but generally users will already know what you do and are simply trying to find your Page. Once they click Like for your Page, your chosen category is of little or no consequence to them. Your choice of category does matter to the setup and display of your information, however. Different categories ask different types of questions and display different amounts of information. Click around and try a few categories during setup; you can’t change your category or Page name once you have created the Page, so take some time in the beginning to make sure the category and information display are what you want.
