So, now that you know the most common reasons why businesses get banned from Facebook, here are three general guidelines to always keep in mind when posting to Facebook so that your business page doesn’t get blocked.
- Follow Facebook Guidelines to avoid getting banned from Facebook
I know it kind of goes without saying (like “Caution, This Cup May Be Hot”), but if you read Facebook’s Page Guidelines, you will have no issues. Just make sure you keep up-to-date as they are always changing their policy in order to avoid getting banned from Facebook.
- Don’t mislead your visitors
Whether it’s on social media or your website, never ever mislead your visitors. Your business’ reputation is on the line! Use clear wording to relay who you are and what you do. If your visitors feel mislead, they likely will leave your company and harbor negative feelings towards you for being duped and you can be banned from Facebook as a result.
- Don’t over-promote yourself
A marketer’s job is to promote a business and the services they provide, but if you solely self-promote, your followers will surely un-follow your business page. Don’t forget, your business page is for your visitors, not you. Keep them interested, coming back, and sharing posts by posting information that they can find useful. Don’t be afraid to share someone else’s info if it will help your audience. Just make sure you state where it’s from or face being banned from Facebook.
Key Takeaway
Facebook is an ideal platform to gain followers, spread the word about your business, interact with your audience, and dig in deeper so you can better understand how to talk with them and if they have other challenges you can capitalize on.
Don’t let a simple mistake get your business page banned from Facebook.
It could cost you more than a simple online profile — think about the accounts that have millions of followers who click what they share, who visit that site, who interact with the business, and reap the rewards of doing so.
