For the set up: Assuming you have a personal facebook page, go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php, choose "local business or place" and go through the steps for setting it up. If you don't have a personal facebook page, you'll have to create one first before being able to set up the "business page." Once set up, do fill in all the blanks you can. Hours, address, phone number, website, email, price range, the "About Us or About You" section - list your specialties and professional products you feature in your services. Just be as thorough as possible.

Just did a quick google search for dos and don'ts of facebook pages and came up w/ this for some general guidelines: http://www.postplanner.com/dos-and-donts-of-facebook-pages/

Hope this helps a bit and best of luck!

Thanks Becky. I'm gathering information on this. I see that some people combine their personal and business on the same FB page, and that is not some thing I'd want to do. Also, a client told me that there is a way to "purchase" FB "likes". I was surprised to hear that. There are some excellent videos on youtube discussing that, and why it is not a good idea. Thanks again!
