Add your company to Facebook in 15 minutes or less
Facebook has over 500 Million active users and at least one of this is one of your customers. By adding a Facebook page for your business you are giving yourself an opportunity to reach out to these customers and also find new customers. Social Media is a large part of SEO and Facebook is just one part of it, so think of it as a billboard on the super highway.
