How to Create a Facebook Page on Phone or Desktop (2026)

Before you start

• You need a personal Facebook account to create and manage the Page. Your personal profile stays private and is not shown on the Page itself.

• Have your business name ready and know roughly which category fits (for example, Pediatrician, Medical Service, or Local Business). You can change the category later.

• You can start on your phone and finish the details on desktop, or the other way around. The Page is the same either way.

Create a Facebook Page on desktop

The fastest route if you are on a computer. As of July 2026:

1. 1

   Log in to facebook.com, then go to facebook.com/pages/create (or click Pages in the left menu and click Create new Page).

2. 2

   Type your Page name — usually your business name.

3. 3

   Choose a category by typing a keyword and picking the closest match.

4. 4

   Add a short bio describing what you do. This is optional but recommended.

5. 5

   Click Create Page.

6. 6

   Add a profile photo and cover photo if you have them, then click Save. Your Page is now live.

Create a Facebook Page on your phone

Works on both iPhone and Android in the Facebook app:

1. 1

   Open the Facebook app and tap the menu (the three lines).

2. 2

   Tap Pages. If you do not see it, tap See more first.

3. 3

   Tap Create, then tap Get started.

4. 4

   Enter your Page name and tap Next.

5. 5

   Choose a category and tap Next.

6. 6

   Add a short bio if you want, then tap Create.

7. 7

   Add a profile photo and cover photo if you have them. Your Page is now live.

Tip: the phone app keeps setup short. To fill in full details like hours, website, and address, it is easier to finish on desktop later.

After your Page is created: connect it to Velocity

Head back to Velocity, choose Facebook, and sign in with the Facebook account that manages this Page. Select the Page from the Facebook picker.

Instagram is separate: switch Instagram to a Creator or Business account, choose Instagram in Velocity, and sign in directly with Instagram. Linking the two accounts is optional.

Page not created or not showing up?

• You are not logged in to your personal account. A Page is always created from a personal Facebook account. Log in first, then try again.

• The name is flagged or already taken. Try a slightly different name, or add your location or specialty.

• You cannot find the new Page. Refresh, or open it under Pages in the menu. On desktop you can switch into it from your profile photo in the top right.
