When the drop-down menu opens, choose the Create page option and click on it.
Set up your Facebook Business page

You can add any category you want. It must be registered on Facebook: you have to add the related keyword and the tool will suggest the category.
Also, while you are editing the different options, Facebook shows you the preview on the right in both mobile and desktop versions.
When you have everything, click on ‘Create page’.
Include a cover photo and a profile picture
The next step is to make your page representative of your brand and for this, you need a cover photo and a profile picture, as indicated by Facebook.
If you don’t have the images you are going to put on your page yet, don’t worry, click on ‘Save’ and finish this step later.
Your freshly baked page is waiting for you, although Facebook will ultimately ask you if you want to connect WhatsApp Business with your Facebook fan page. This is another step you can take now or later.
