How to Create a Searchable Facebook Business Page

Unlike personal Timelines in Facebook, your business page does not have an option to enable or disable public search. Pages are open to the public. However, some settings reduce the visibility of your page. After setting up your company Facebook page using Facebook's page registration wizard, check each privacy setting to ensure that your page has maximum visibility to search engines and other Facebook users.
