A Facebook Place Page is a type of Page specially designed to represent a specific physical address where people can go.
📝 Crucial Distinction
It is important not to confuse a Place Page with a classic Business Page:
Business Page (Classic): Represents a marque, an Organisation, or a personality. It focuses on content and overall engagement.
Place Page (Local): Represents a precise physical point (a restaurant, a store, a park, etc.). It focuses on physical visits and geolocation.
Facebook Place pages are pages representing physical établissements. They present locally relevant information such as the address, opening hours, or phone number of the concerned établissement.
Why create Facebook Place pages for the établissements in my network?
Facebook Place pages are essential for networks wanting to use the social network to generate traffic at points of sale:
Increased engagement & impact
A Facebook Place page generates 5 times more reach than a marque page (number of people who see the page content) and 8 times more engagement (number of people interacting with the page content). Thus, a like on a place page is worth 40 on a marque page!
Relevant local content
The results highlighted for these queries will systematically be listings presenting relevant local content and not a national page. If we focus on internet users making local searches on mobile:
54% say they search for opening hours
53% say they search for directions
50% say they search for addresses
Better Local referencing
Having multiple Facebook Place pages for different établissements will improve your referencing on local queries of the form “Category of the établissement + Location” (e.g., Restaurant in Amiens). Indeed, one of Google's main ranking criteria is the number of “Citations” of your établissement, that is, the number of pages mentioning its name, address, phone... The more there are, the better your établissements will be referenced on Google.
Centralized management for networks
Manage all your établissements from a centralized interface. If you own multiple établissements, the Business Manager Facebook allows you to manage all your place pages and campaigns easily. You can also link your place pages to your national page so that posts flow there.
An increase in the number of reviews
You receive more reviews on local pages than on national pages. Having separate pages encourages customers who visited a particular établissement to leave a review on a service or experience they had at that établissement. This way, you improve your image de marque and your referencing!
Access to the “visit in-store” objective for your Facebook Ads
Target a local audience through your Facebook advertising campaigns. Create ads with the objective “Visit in-store” and highlight your établissement for people targeted within a radius around your établissement. Then measure the traffic actually generated by your campaign.
