You can search and filter without an account, see hours and contact details, and, when you sign in, follow a business, message it and write a review. This guide shows how to get the most out of a business page.
Step by step
- Step 1: Open Businesses. Search by what you need, or choose a category. Marinas, Restaurants, Shopping and Contractors also have their own pages.
- Step 2: Open “More filters” to narrow by town, lake area, lake access, distance, verified location, open now, and verified details such as licensed, insured, free estimates or emergency service.
- Step 3: Switch between the list and the map. Businesses without a recorded location are not on the map.
- Step 4: Open a business to see its photos, about text, hours, services, offers and latest posts. Badges show whether the owner or the information is verified.
- Step 5: Use the phone number, website or Directions buttons. Choose Share to send the page on.
- Step 6: Sign in and choose “Message business” to write to a business that has claimed its listing.
- Step 7: Choose “Follow” to see a business in your Friends feed and under “Businesses you follow”, and “Like” to recommend it. They work independently.
- Step 8: To review a business, choose “Write a review”, give 1 to 5 stars, write at least 20 characters and optionally add up to three photos, then choose “Post review”.
- Step 9: If you own the business, choose “Claim this business” on its page.
