How to Create a Facebook Page for Your Blog (Step by Step)

With around 3 billion monthly users, Facebook is still one of the biggest places to find readers. Organic reach for Pages is much lower than it used to be, but a Facebook Page is still worth having: it gives your blog a professional presence, a place to share posts and join conversations, and lets you run targeted Facebook ads when you are ready.

A Page is separate from your personal profile, so readers can follow your blog without seeing your private life. Here is how to create one in 2026, step by step.

How to Create a Facebook Page for Your Blog

Step 1: Start a New Page

Log in to your personal Facebook account (it stays private; it is only used to manage the Page). Then go to facebook.com/pages/create, or click your profile picture and choose See all profiles > Create new Page.

Step 2: Add Your Page Details

• Page name: use your blog’s name exactly as it appears on your site.
• Category: type and choose something like Blogger, Personal blog, or Website, plus a topic category if relevant.
• Bio: one or two sentences on what your blog covers and who it helps.

Click Create Page.

Step 3: Add Contact Details and Your Website

Add your blog URL, email, and other contact details you want to share. Linking your website helps people find your blog from Facebook and makes the Page look trustworthy.

Step 4: Add a Profile Picture and Cover Photo

Upload your blog logo as the profile picture and a cover photo that shows what your blog is about (see how to design them below). You can skip this and add them later.

Step 5: Finish Setup and Claim Your Username

Skip or complete the optional steps (connecting WhatsApp, inviting friends). Then open your Page settings and set a username, ideally your blog name, so your Page gets a clean address like facebook.com/yourblog.

Design Your Profile Picture and Cover Photo With Canva

Recommended sizes:

• Profile picture: a square image, at least 400 x 400 pixels. It is displayed as a circle, so keep important parts in the center.
• Cover photo: use a wide image such as Canva’s Facebook cover template, and keep text and key elements in the middle, because Facebook crops the edges differently on mobile and desktop.

If you are not a designer, Canva makes this easy:

1. Sign in to Canva and search for Facebook Cover to open a correctly sized template.
2. Pick a design, then change the text, colors, and images to match your blog.
3. Click Share > Download and save it as PNG.
4. For the profile picture, choose Custom size, enter 400 x 400 px, and place your logo in the center.

What to Do After Creating Your Page

• Add a Follow button or Page plugin to your blog so readers can follow you; see these social media widgets.
• Share every new post automatically using Jetpack Social or a similar plugin, and add social sharing buttons to your posts.
• Schedule posts in Meta Business Suite so your Page stays active.
• Post more than links: photos, short videos (Reels), questions, and behind-the-scenes updates usually reach more people than plain links.
• Link your Instagram account to manage both from one place.
• Try a small ad budget to promote your best posts to a targeted audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Facebook Page free?

Yes. Creating and running a Page is free. You only pay if you choose to run ads.

Will people see my personal profile?

No. Your personal account is only used to manage the Page. Visitors see the Page name, not your personal profile, unless you choose to show it.

Is Facebook still worth it for bloggers?

It depends on your niche. Facebook works well for lifestyle, food, parenting, and local topics, especially through groups and Reels. For visual niches, also consider Pinterest.
