#AskSigrun - The Difference Between Facebook Groups and Pages

Companies big and small use Facebook in advertising and promoting their businesses. The connections people and businesses make on Facebook, have made it one of the most popular platforms for targeting new clients and retaining current ones. As an entrepreneur, you may be thinking about whether having a Facebook page is enough to reach your market or whether you need to create a Facebook group for your business.
In this episode, I discuss the differences between Facebook groups and pages and how to use them, including the benefits and limitations of using both for your business. I also talk about the importance of using a benchmarking tool to assess your Facebook performance and share some practical changes you can make to improve your performance and increase your organic reach.
