How to Get a Direct Link to Your Facebook Page from Your Personal Profile
 |
You may have figured out by now that when you add your own business to the employer section of your Facebook profile, it doesn’t automatically link to your business Facebook page. Instead it links to a generic community page that Facebook has created.
Wouldn’t you rather send people to your own Facebook page? I’m going to show you how!
Step #1
Download the Web Developer tool for Firefox. You can get it athttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/
Once you download it you will need to restart Firefox in order to see the toolbar. When the toolbar is installed, it will look like this:
Step #2
Go to your Facebook business page and get the unique URL for the page. You can find this by going to your business and choosing “Edit Page”
Once you have clicked on “Edit Page” notice the unique url that now shows for your business Facebook page in your browser. Mine is 176264300988.
Step #3 Copy this number and go back to your profile. Choose “Edit profile”.
Now choose “Education and Work”
You should see a screen that looks like the one below.
Step #4 Place your cursor in the Employer field and then go to your new Web Developer toolbar and Choose “Forms”. Then choose “Display Form Details” from the drop down menu
Your screen will now be full of a lot of different fields. Don’t panic! It’s supposed to look like that!
Step #5 Go ahead and enter the unique # we got for your business Facebook page earlier and paste it in the employer id section. Right after <input name = “employer_id”>. Just below that it will ask “Where have you worked?”. Enter the name of your Facebook page exactly as it is shown on your page. See the example below:
Step #6 Next hit the tab key to move off the field. Your screen will now look like what you see below (but with your information of course!)
Go ahead and finish filling in the information about this position. When you are finished click the “Add Job” button.
Step #7 Go back up to the Web Developer toolbar and Choose Forms again. This time uncheck Display Form Fields.
Now your screen should return to normal and all those extra fields will no longer be visible. In addition you should be able to see the icon for your individual Facebook page in your employer section.
Now when you look at your profile you will be able to see the link to your Facebook page shown prominently at the top. Click on it and you should go directly to your Facebook page.
