A couple of useful details
Do I need a separate Facebook account for a Page?
No. You can create and manage a Page from your existing Facebook account. Facebook also lets you switch into the Page after it is created.
Can I change the Page name later?
Facebook provides a Page-name change process, but changes are reviewed and may be limited. Choose an accurate, durable name at setup.
How many categories can I add?
The current Android flow asks you to choose one category during setup and says you can add two extra categories later to improve search results.
Is a Facebook Page public?
Pages are designed as public presences. Review the Page details, contact information, posts, and access permissions before promoting it.
