Difference Between Facebook App Page and Facebook Page

Tags:

facebook

I have created a Facebook page for our business, and I created a Facebook App to get a AppID in order to use it in the Facebook plugins.

I've noticed that a Facebook App has a page which looks the same as a Facebook Page.

Which one should I use for promoting to the public? The App Page or normal Page?

What is the difference between Facebook Pages?

To see your profile, click or tap your name or profile picture at the top of Facebook. You must have a profile to create a Page or help manage one. Pages are places on Facebook where artists, public figures, businesses, brands, organizations and nonprofits can connect with their fans or customers.

Is Facebook account and Facebook page the same?

The short answer is that a Facebook Profile is what users create for their personal needs, and a Facebook Page is what is created when a business or some other organization needs a presence on Facebook.

How do I change my Facebook page to an app?

Tap in the top right of Facebook, then tap your name. Tap Switch Profiles in the top right, then select the Page you want to switch into. This opens your Page's Feed. From here, you can see updates and interact with profiles or Pages you follow as your Page.

You should be promoting your business page. That's what people will be searching for.

Essentially, all objects within the Facebook sphere are represented by a Page. Your app gets one of it's own which, if you were so inclined, would mean you could use it to promote your application. I would also recommend locking down your application's Page so the wall doesn't get filled with spam and other dubious and possibly malicious links. You can do this in the Page settings.

Promote the normal page(www.facebook.com/pages/yourpagename). The application page is where you would promote the application you built but it sounds like you just need a appid.

A significant difference between an app page vs a normal page: the app page does not show the number of people who 'like' it. It shows the number of MAU instead.
