Step-by-Step Guide

1. Accessing the homepage features

To use the homepage features, first go to the left side of the Business Suite and slightly collapse the view. You will then see a range of tools, including "Manage Shop."

2. Managing your Shop

When you click on "Manage Shop," you have the opportunity to edit your shop. You can monitor the sales of your products and find out which products sell well or may encounter problems. Additionally, you can conduct a shop preview to see how your products are presented to customers.

3. Using Messenger tools

Scroll down a bit to the Messenger tools. Here you can create a Messenger post. The system will give you a reminder if you haven't created a post for several days. You can add a new post, and it will be sent to users via Messenger.

4. Adding preliminary contact questions

You can create basic questions that users frequently ask. To do this, go to the "To-Do" section and add a new question, for example, "When are you open?" You can then formulate an automated response that will be sent to the user when this question is asked.

5. Personalizing responses

In the automated response, you have the option to include the customer's name. This increases the personal touch of your communication and enhances satisfaction. You can tailor the message to provide automated responses to common customer inquiries.

6. Using buttons in responses

You can also add a button to your automated response. Clicking on this button will direct users to a specific URL, allowing you to generate direct traffic to your website.

7. Managing and Creating Job Ads

Another important aspect is managing job ads. If you want to create a job ad, click on "Create Job Ad" and enter the necessary information, such as job title, location, and job description.

8. Accepting and Managing Applications

You will receive applications directly through Facebook. You can view them through the dashboard and filter them based on various criteria, such as the application status or specific interests of the applicants.

9. Insights and Page Analysis

Finally, you can use insights to see how well your page is performing. Here you can view different metrics such as interactions, reach, and many other statistics.

10. Optimizing Advertisements

If you want to create advertisements, I recommend doing so not through the Ad Center but through the Ads Manager. The Ads Manager offers more extensive features for creating effective campaigns.

Summary

In this tutorial, you learned how to effectively use the different functions of the Facebook homepage. From managing your shop to using the Messenger tools, to managing job ads, and analyzing your page's performance - you've heard everything to optimize your marketing strategies on Facebook.
