It's easy to share a business page on Facebook — whether you do so online or on the mobile app.
Business pages are designed to be viewed and shared by friends on timelines, in groups and events, or via private message. To share a company or organization's page using any of these options, click the "Share" button with an arrow found below the page's header photo.
Sharing on the mobile app looks about the same, though options are condensed due to limited space. Tap the three dots to open the page's menu, where you can then draft a post. Choose to share on your timeline or to another location with the option at the top of the screen.
Here's how to do both.
1. Navigate to the business page you'd like the share.
2. Click the "Share" button with the arrow found underneath the header photo.

4. You can also select who you would like to share the page with by clicking the blue button at the top. Sharing to your timeline is the default, but you can also choose to share to a friend's timeline, a group, or an event instead. Or, you can opt to simply share in a private message.
For example, you can set the post so that all your public friends can see it except for a few people.5. Click "Post" when you're ready.

If you’re a business owner, you know all about the importance of online reviews. They provide social proof to help attract new customers and boost your bottom line. While there are many review sites out there, one of the most popularly used platforms is Facebook.
As a business owner, you want to make it easy for customers to leave reviews. The best way to do this is by sharing a Facebook review link. This post discusses how you can utilize the functionality available for reviews on Facebook for business and create a review link.
A Facebook review link is a unique URL you create to make it easy for customers to leave reviews on your Facebook page.
When customers click the link, they’ll be taken directly to the review form on your Facebook page.
Using a review link makes it easy for customers to leave reviews, and it also helps you track how many reviews you’re getting. However, creating a Facebook review link is a slightly tricky task. Unlike Google My Business, you cannot simply copy a direct link.
Before we talk about creating a review link, make sure that there is a Reviews Tab on your business account. If you don’t have it, go to the About tab on the top left-hand side of your page and click on Edit Page Info. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Add a Tab. Then, select Reviews from the list of available tabs.
Now that you have the Reviews Tab, it’s time to create your Facebook review link.
The biggest issue with sharing the default Facebook review link is that users need to be logged in to access it. If users click on the link without logging in first, they will be redirected to another page.
This can be incredibly confusing and frustrating.
To bypass this issue, you need to modify the review link. Follow these simple steps to see how.
Step 1: Start with the URL for the Facebook login page. This will ensure that the customers are prompted to log in first before jumping to the review page.
You will start with the following URL: https://www.facebook.com/login/
Step 2: We need to ensure that once the customers log in, they are redirected to your review page instead of their Facebook feed. To do this, we need to add the “next” command in the login page URL.
The URL should look like this: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=
Step 3: We need to add the link for the review page after the “next” command. This will instruct Facebook that the customer should be taken to your review page.
Keep in mind that copying the URL of your Facebook business page after the abovementioned URL will not work. Instead, you will need to convert it into HTML code.
Here’s what the final URL should look like for ABC company:
https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FABC%2Freviews%2F
To create this link for your page, you can simply replace the characters in bold (i.e., ABC) with the business name listed on your Facebook account. To get this, you will have to go to your Facebook page and copy the URL after https://www.facebook.com/ from the address bar.
For example, the URL for Broadly’s Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/getbroadly.
Therefore, the review link for Broadly’s Facebook page will look like this:
https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgetbroadly%2Freviews%2F
Using a review link is very easy. All you need to do is share it with your customers. You can create a template to share it through email, SMS, WhatsApp, social media, or other marketing channels. Once the customers click on the link, they will be taken directly to your Facebook page’s review section.
Once you have the review link, you can embed it on your website homepage or blog. This allows your customers to leave reviews without having to go to Facebook.
Here are the steps that you need to follow:
Step 1: Copy the HTML code of the review link and paste it into a text editor such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.
Step 2: Select the text where you want to embed the link, click on Ctrl/Command + K and copy the HTML code.
Once the link is embedded, customers will be able to access it directly by clicking on the text.
Here are some reasons why Facebook reviews are essential for your business:
So the more positive reviews you have, the higher you’re likely to rank.Let’s look at some of the best ways to get Facebook reviews:

Active Facebook users very often have to post both inside and outside the social network various links to profiles of other users, to this or that content. If you need to do this within a social network, then there is a convenient “Share” function. If you need to place a mention of a Facebook user or content outside the social network, then you have to use links.
Therefore, let's talk about how to copy all possible links in the desktop version of Facebook and in the version for mobile devices. 9Ol000 user profile
If you prefer to work from a computer or laptop using a browser version, then finding and copying a link to any source is easy . The main action in this case is to select the text in the address bar and copy it.
But it's important to know where that text is and how to get to the right link.
Any personal Facebook profile has an ID that belongs to him and only him. The personal profile address looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000*******6169. And in this address, ID is a combination of numbers after the “=” sign.
In order to find and copy a link to a user's Facebook profile, you must first log into the profile. This is done very simply: click on the avatar and on the username. If you need a link to your personal profile, then entering it is very simple: the avatar and your nickname are located in the upper left corner of the page.
To access a user's profile from your friend list, simply click on his photo in the publication, in the comments, or in the list of friends.
When you go to the profile, then copy the contents of the address bar of the browser. And you will get a profile link that is pasted into an email or any other text.
The process of obtaining a link to a publication is in no way dependent on the nature of the content posted there. It can be text, photo or video. In any case, to receive a link, the publication must be opened in a separate window.
To do this:
Important! Facebook posts have "Save Post", "Save Link", "Save Video" options. These functions allow you to save the content that the user likes inside the social network, if you need, for example, to make a selection of interesting publications for yourself in order to either return to them or study them in detail in the future. But in order to get a link suitable for use on a third-party resource, these options are not suitable.
If you want to copy a link to a group or page on a social network for use outside of Facebook, then the sequence of actions is almost the same as when copying the address of a personal profile.
In particular, the actions are as follows:
If the task is to find and copy the address of a group on Facebook, then the sequence of actions is completely similar. That is, in order to get the coveted link, you must go to the group.
Of course, searching for profiles, pages and groups, copying links is a matter that takes a decent amount of time, and therefore many bloggers prefer to optimize the process with the help of browser extensions created just for this purpose.
Attention! The first plugin is almost a rarity and is not used by the vast majority of users. But the second one is quite working and relevant.
Only at first glance it seems that when working on Facebook from a smartphone, finding and copying a link is problematic.
