Use the Search Feature
If you already have a Facebook account, the easiest way to find businesses on Facebook is by using their search feature. All you have to do is type in “business name + city” and press enter, or you could use quotes around your keywords if you are searching for an exact match.
Take Advantage of Friends’ Lists
Take advantage of Facebook’s friend lists to feature if you want to see what types of local businesses your friends follow. This will let you see a list of all the businesses your friends have liked on Facebook.
Look for Pages With Location Tags
If you’re looking for local businesses to follow, look for pages with location tags in their page titles. For example, “Atlanta Restaurants.” This is a good indicator that the page is about local businesses.
Look For Ads by Location
Since advertising is so popular on Facebook, look for ads with location categories if you are looking to find local business pages quickly. If you search “business name + city” in your ad’s keywords section, this will pull up all of the targeted ads at your location.
Use the “People Also Shared” Feature
If you’re looking for pages similar to one of your friends’ favorite brands, use Facebook’s People Also Shared feature. When you find a page that looks interesting, click on it and check out which other business pages they have in common from the Pages Also Shared section. This is an excellent way to find other famous brands in your area.
Use Facebook’s Graph Search
The newest tool on the block, Facebook, has recently released an automated search engine called their Graph Search function. Make sure you type in “business name + city” or use quotes around any keywords when using this search engine to get the most accurate results.
Use Facebook’s Map View
Another new tool on the block, Facebook, offers a map view of local businesses with their Explore feature. Make sure you turn this option on to see what types of pages your friends like in your area. This will help you find all kinds of exciting business pages based on location.
