When you are an administrator of a Page on Facebook, any posts you make or comments you write are written as the Page by default. Facebook added a setting that allows you to write posts under your own name instead of the Page name when you are an administrator. After changing the default setting, you can switch back and forth between posting with your name and posting as the Page name. Show
Do you know how to comment as a page on Facebook? Do you administer your own or someone else’s page and always like and reply to your followers as a Business Page? Here’s how you should change your perspective and start replying quickly from your personal account. Replying to comments is essential to expand reach and engagement on social media and develop a stronger brand voice. To do so, you are probably often posting and commenting as your Facebook Page, a.k.a. a business profile. A person’s response, instead of a brand, helps a business seem real and authentic. This approach is sometimes a good way to put a “face” behind a reply. But if you are managing someone else’s Facebook page, then make sure you always respond or like the post as a business page. In situations like this, it is very unprofessional to answer from your private profile. You want to convey a more professional approach and let the community know that you are a brand they can trust. If someone is complaining about a particular issue on your page, it would be better to reply from your business account with the page’s logo. In this blog post, we will show you how to switch between accounts and to comment as yourself or a Page itself on a Facebook company page you are managing. You will also learn how to do this from a desktop computer and a mobile phone (Android and iPhone).

This way, you can switch back and forth between posting with your name and posting as the Page name. Each post you publish has a small icon at the bottom right corner where you can immediately see which account you use to comment. By clicking on the drop-down list, you can change accounts in seconds and choose how you want to comment on a particular post. You must be an admin, editor, or moderator to like or comment as your Page on another Page’s post from a desktop computer. To like or comment on a post made by another Page as your Page, follow these steps:
A person’s profile is not the same as a Page, which can represent brands, businesses, or causes. You cannot publish, like, or comment as your Page on another Page, but you can do so on a person’s profile. The steps are almost the same for Android and iPhone. To like or comment on another Page’s post as your Page, go to facebook.com (if using Android) on your mobile phone’s browser and log in. Or go to the Facebook app on your iPhone.
