Posted: June 27, 2013

Facebook personal accounts and business Pages are totally different animals. Follow this infographic to better understand how to set up a Facebook page. Also learn more about the difference between personal accounts and Pages.

What is the difference between a business account and a personal account?

Business accounts:

Are used to manage Pages and ad campaigns
Can't be found in search, send or receive friend requests or build apps
Can see public information about other people on Facebook, but can't interact with those people except as a Page
Don't have a personal profile tied to them

Personal accounts:

Used to connect with people you know in real life
For individual, non-commercial use
Can connect with other people, join groups or play social games
You may create a business account if you don't already have a personal Facebook account. To get started, you will need to first create a Facebook Page.

Please be aware that managing multiple accounts is a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Use. If we determine that an individual has more than one account, we reserve the right to disable all of their accounts.
