• Goals you’d like to achieve: When you create a Page, have a clear set of goals for what you want to achieve. Make sure you’re taking advantage of your Page’s unique features.
• Insights: Page Insights can help you understand your audience better and the content they interact with most. Pay close attention to insights, such as Page likes, views, reach and information about demographics. Learn more about how to leverage insights.
