Facebook Story – With Facebook Page Stories, you can share content that represents your brand or business directly from your mobile device.
Stories engage your audience and encourage you to build more regular, genuine and casual connections in a deeper way. To put your viewers behind the scenes, you can share pictures and short videos.
Page Stories appear at the top of News Feed in a highly visible area. People can also tap on your mobile Page’s profile picture to see your Page – Facebook Story.
With business pages’ organic reach continuing to decrease on Facebook, it’s now more important than ever to experiment with different ways to get your posts in front of as many eyeballs as you possibly can.
How To share a photo or video to Your Business Page’s story on Facebook
To share a photo or video to your Page’s story, log into the Facebook app for iOS or Android.
Your Page’s story is a way of sharing something with your Page’s followers that will be available for 24 hours.
You must be a Page admin or editor to share to your Page’s story. You can also share a photo or video to your personal profile’s story.
On Facebook App
To share a story to your Page:
- Go to your Page and tap your profile picture.
- Tap Create story.
- Select a photo or video from your camera roll and tap Next, or tap the camera to take a new photo or video.
Currently only a few businesses are using this feature despite its prime real estate: Stories appear at the top of users’ Facebook News Feed on both desktop and the mobile app.
Benefits of Stories
- Share more often: Businesses often think about how frequently they should post to their Page. If you’ve already shared content to your Page or are running a Page ad, a Story can help you engage your audience with a different type of media to enjoy.
- Humanize your business: You want your Page to come across as friendly and accessible. Stories can help people get to know you and your business better. Stories let you share personal, relatable content through fun, fleeting moments that bind everyone together.
- Reach people consistently: If anyone in your audience misses a post, they’ll see your Story at the top of their News Feed. Stories let you reengage a passive audience and provide updates in a dynamic way. You can see how many people watched your Stories in Insights.

1. Personalize your Story: Use the Facebook camera and add creative effects, like frames or stickers, to personalize your photos or videos.

It’s important to understand the difference between content that makes a good story versus content that makes a good post before jumping into Facebook stories.
Stories tend to lend themselves better to behind-the-scenes content, much as on Instagram, and often have a “guerilla marketing” feeling than the professional photography you are more likely to use for posts. You want audiences to follow your story by leading them on a journey from the start to the end.
