Small business owners who use social networking sites effectively are able to promote their businesses in very powerful ways. The site may have began as a way for college students and other young adults to connect online, it’s now become a staple for businesses and community organizations.
However, with more than 60 million business profiles on Facebook, it’s becoming much more difficult to guide customers over to your businesses profile page. You could have them try searching for your profile, but what if they land on the wrong page? You could also consider giving them your full Facebook URL, but that can often times be a long and forgettable website address.

With a memorable and creative domain to give your customers, you can be certain they’re landing on the right Facebook profile. Best of all, the process of connecting your Facebook page to a domain registered with GoDaddy is extremely fast and simple.
