Managing multiple places with the help of Facebook locations

Do you manage a business that has multiple locations? Keeping all of those Facebook Pages updated can be very time-consuming. Now you can make things much easier with the help of Facebook locations (formerly Parent-child pages).

What are Facebook locations?

Facebook describes Facebook locations like this.

Facebook locations are a way to manage pages for all your locations in one place. Each store will be tied to one main Facebook Page.

Anyone who has a store with multiple locations can now tie their Facebook Pages together under one main page.

For those of you who run a business with multiple locations, this is great news. This is because this feature was previously only available to large companies like Starbucks and McDonald’s.

Now, when someone visits your main Facebook Page, they will be able to see that you have other locations as well that they can engage with.

Benefits to using Facebook locations

If you have struggled with managing lots of pages for your business, here are some of the ways Facebook locations can make things easier for you and your customers.

Creates authentic Pages for all of your store locations
Updates all of your Pages with the right information
Helps people find your business on Facebook
Page admins with Content Creator or Manager status will be able to add, edit, or remove locations

This means anyone with multiple pages for their business can provide their location information and take advantage of Facebook locations to help bring them together.

To get started with Facebook locations, follow the instructions below.
