<h2>How to Choose a Category for Your Facebook Page</h2>
Would you like to put your organisation on social media? If so, you’re about to connect with potentially thousands, or even millions, of possible customers.
You’ll need to select between categories for a Facebook page to define your organisation. Picking right will help customers find you more easily. If you’re miscategorised, they might skip over you, thinking you have a different type of organisation than you actually do.
Fortunately, we can help you find the right category for your organisation using our Facebook business categories list. And the good news is that it shouldn’t take much time!
Keep in mind, it is important to get your categories right from the beginning. You can change Facebook page categories later, but you might lose some of the history you’ve already built while interacting with customers. If you use our Facebook page categories list, you will avoid that hassle.
