How To Create A Poll On Facebook Profile

How to make a poll on Facebook
If you want to engage your fans or promote some products, Facebook polls could help you out. They are effective, interesting and easy to set up. Questions can be posted on Facebook fan pages only by administrators and content creators. Anyone can post a question in the wall of the groups and events.

Here are steps to follow in creating a poll on your Facebook page:

1. Log in to the Facebook and go to the page that you are administrating.

2. Find the status update window on the page timeline. Click “Offers” and then find the option “Questions”.
3. Come up with an interesting question to engage your audience.

4. Now it’s time to add poll options! What you need to do now is to add possible answers for your question and those will serve as options for your fans to choose from when voting. You can add any number of options here. In the bottom left corner of this window you will see an option “Allow anyone to add options”. If you check this feature you will enable anyone to add options for example new answer possibilities for your question. This possibility can sometimes result in people adding irrelevant options so use this option with care. On the other hand, if you want to limit the options and to monitor feedback on the specific topic, it’s best to uncheck this option.

After you have successfully posted your question people can answer it, they can also like, comment and share. When someone answers the question, the question can become publicly visible on their personal profile.

How to see questions you answered on Facebook

1. Go to your timeline / profile

2. Find the button “Activity log”

3. You will see a list that shows Photos, Likes, Comments. Below you will see a button labeled “More”. Click the “More” button and you will see an expanded list of options and one of them will be “Questions”. Here you can find all of the questions you have ever answered on Facebook, organized in chronological order.

The big question

In 2011 a girl named Heather Marie Hollingsworth made headlines by posting, what seem as an ordinary question on her Facebook profile. Surprisingly, she ended up getting over 4 million answers. How did she do it? Well, it all started with a simple question: “Cleaning out my friends list in the next few days…Do you wanna stay?”.
She added three poll options to choose from:

“Yes, keep me”, “Don’t care” and “No, not really”.
Her friends started answering the question and the answer would appear on their wall. Then, their friends, who saw the question, thought that one of their own friends was cleaning his or her friend list and they were eager to stay on the list. So they also joined the poll and quickly the question spread all over the Facebook like a forest fire.
This anecdote showed two things. Question can be extremely viral and also, no one wants to be “unfriended”.

Why people like answering questions on Facebook?

Polls on Facebook offer an engagement and also can serve as an outlet for people to show their attitude, opinion or point of view regarding certain topics. Some people also don’t want to directly address or share some of their views so polls in this case offer an indirect way of expressing their opinion which makes it easier for them to do so.

When to use Faceook questions?

Facebook questions are good tool to be used when you want specific feedback regarding certain product or service, or when you just want to promote for example a line of products. Users respond to these kinds of questions because they feel their opinion is relevant and appreciated. Ultimately, this leads to obtaining a loyal base of fans, i.e. consumers. To put these marketing motives aside, questions can also be used for purely entertaining purposes. The goal here is to engage the fans by posting interesting and interactive content. As a result, your fans are more inclined to return to your page.

Why should you use questions?

Questions are an easy way to get feedback from your audience regarding topics that are relevant to your business. Anyone on Facebook can see, comment and respond to your question (even if they haven’t already liked your page). People use questions for all sort of things, for example big music festivals would ask their audience which artists would they like to see performing on the festival, and people would start adding their favorite bands. Restaurants would post items from their menu to learn which ones are the most popular among their Facebook followers. All sorts of statistical data could be collected using this fun and engaging method.

It’s always good to add a variety to the way you interact with your followers and questions offer a way to break your standard posting pattern. Use them from time to time to find out how your followers feel about your work, products, company, campaigns, etc. Posting fun and interesting content will definitely lead to more engagement on your page, ultimately getting more likes and expanding your audience.

In late 2017, Facebook polls encouraged users to express their inquisitive side on the world's biggest social media platform.

Adding a simple poll for your friends and followers on Facebook on either the app or the desktop site works much the same way as adding a photo or updating your status.

How To Create A Poll On Facebook Profile

How to make a Facebook poll
Facebook is the latest social media platform to introduce polling into its feed. Though users could simply post a Facebook status, tweet or Instagram story asking a question that their followers could reply to, polling is an easier means to discovering what their followers prefer.

Twitter and Instagram paved the way with the introduction of polling as a means for users to learn what their followers favoured between any two topics. Now, Facebook members can also use polls to discover whether they should take a vacation to Spain or France, purchase an iPhone or an Android or watch Stranger Things 2 verses House of Cards.

Not only is this new feature helpful for everyday inquiries, but polling has become a tool that allows marketers, lifestyle influencers, brands and bloggers to connect with potential buyers and readers in addition to uncovering what content their audience resonates better with.

Whether a brand, social influencer or everyday social media user looking for some helpful suggestions from your social network - here’s how to create a two-option Facebook poll with GIFs and photos.
How to create a Facebook Poll
Log in and search

To begin, log into your Facebook page and search “poll” in the search bar. If you are already logged into your account, you can also type into a search engine “Facebook poll” and be directed right to the Polls page by selecting “Make a Poll on Your Page - Facebook.com”.

Allow access

Secondly, select the Polls app from the dropdown list and click “Go to Polls”. You will then be asked for Poll’s permission to access your basic information and to access your profile information. If you hit allow, Facebook will direct you to the Polls page.

Here you can create limitless polls that can be posted on your personal profile as well as any other pages you manage.
Create new poll

Choose “Create a new poll” towards the top right of the page and choose which page you’d like to post your poll. Fill in the body of your poll, beginning with the question you’d like to receive feedback about.

Type your question in the “Question” box as well as your answers in the “Answers” box. You may only add one answer per line in the Answers section, pictured in the image below.

Customise your poll

Additional custom tools include the ability to add photos and videos to your poll by uploading basic source code information. Though it sounds complicated, the process is actually quite easy, and Facebook even offers instructions that outline the process.

To add images to your question, first locate the copy image address by right clicking on your image. You will find in the dropdown “copy image address”, which you should select. Then in your Answers box, type “<img”, paste the image address right after, and end with “>”. If you wanted a picture next to Pepsi for example, the full text on one line would read “Pepsi <imgsrc=”http://example.com/image.jpg” />

To add a video, you would follow the same process as uploading pictures. On the desired video, right click and copy “embed code”. Then in the Answers boc, instead of writing “Pepsi <img alt="" />” for images you would write “Pepsi <iframe>” for a video.</iframe>

If you know a little about HTML and CSS, you have the option of further decorating your poll’s answers with colour and font styling elements such as
and .
Once satisfied with your Questions and Answers content, check a box if you’d like to allow voters to add other answers or if your poll is in Right-to-Left language (such as Arabic). Choose a vote button caption - which is generally just vote - and then add tags for public pages. Tags can attract more voters if you’re interested in a wealth of opinions.

Though it’s not a complete survey tool, marketers have found work around and are using Facebook Poll as Facebook Survey also!

How to create a poll on Facebook Page?

Creating a poll on Facebook Business Page is extremely easy. Go to your Facebook Page and watch the status box. There you should be able to see 8 options and a See All link. Click See All link and Create a Poll option will be visible. Click that to start.

Describe your poll in ‘ask something’ area. Now you need to decide whether this Facebook Poll is going to be a text, image or GIF poll. If it’s a text poll just start writing text of up to 25 characters in option 1 and option 2. If this is an image based Poll on Facebook you need to upload images from your computer for both the options. But if this Facebook Poll on page is going to be a GIF poll then you have two choices. First, find GIFs from Facebook GIF Search. Second, use the link to a GIF.

Poll on Facebook Group is little different than the Poll on Facebook Brand Page or Personal Profile. The essential difference, choices of answer selection are not limited to two options. You can add options as per your need and requirements. Further, you can have only text in question and choice of answers. No Image, No GIF is allowed at this moment for Poll on Facebook Group.

To post a Poll on Facebook group, navigate to the status box of the group. There you should see the second symbol as Poll. Click that to start.

At the same time, you can create an open poll where anyone can add options to your standard choices. Further, if you want, you can allow users to choose more than one option. For this, you just need to check a box in poll options.

How to create a poll on Facebook Messenger?

Facebook Messenger the rising phenomena. I strongly believe Facebook Messenger is the next big thing in marketing. But, for today’s discussion, let’s focus on Facebook Poll in Messenger.
This feature works only if you have Facebook Messenger Group. It’s obvious there is no point of the vote when the interaction is one on one.

Head to Facebook Messenger and select a Facebook Messenger Group. A new window for that group messenger will open. From bottom select Create Poll option. Ask the question and add options as per your need. Here again Facebook Poll is not limited to two questions, but everything has to be text only. No support for Images or GIFs.

How to Create a Facebook Business Page in 8 Simple Steps

You know by now that you need a Facebook Business Page. You’ve seen the statistics. You know that Facebook’s more than two billion monthly active users make it an impossible platform for any business to ignore.

The fact is being on Facebook makes it easier for people to discover and interact with your brand online.

So, let’s dive into how to create a Facebook Business Page. Follow these steps and you’ll have your Page up and running by end of day.

Bonus: Download a free guide that teaches you how to turn Facebook traffic into sales in four simple steps using Hootsuite.
How to set up a Facebook Page for your business
Step 1: Sign up

Go to facebook.com/business and click Create a Page in the top right hand corner. You’ll be greeted with several business type options including local business or place, brand or product, and cause or community. Select the type of business you’re creating the Facebook Page for. If your business type falls into more than one of the category options, choose the one your customers are most likely to think of when they think about your business.

When you click on a business type, a box will open asking for a few further details, like the name of your business, your address, and your Page category. Categories are basically sub-types within the larger business category you’ve already chosen. When you start typing in the category field, you’ll see a list of potential category options to choose from.

When you’re ready, click Get Started. Note that doing so indicates your acceptance of Facebook’s terms and conditions for Business Pages, so you might want to check those out before you proceed.
Step 2. Add Pictures

Next, you’ll upload profile and cover images for your Facebook Page. It’s important to create a good visual first impression, so choose wisely here. Make sure the photos you choose align with your brand and are easily identifiable with your business.

You’ll upload your profile image first. This image accompanies your business name in search results and when you interact with users, and also appears on the top left of your Facebook Page.

If you’re a big brand, using your logo is probably a safe way to go. If you’re a celebrity or public figure, a picture of your face will work like a charm. And if you’re a local business, maybe a well-shot image of your signature offering is what will allow a potential follower or customer to make the connection immediately.

Your profile picture will appear as a square on your Facebook Page, but will be cropped to a circle in ads and posts, so don’t put any critical details in the corners. Once you’ve chosen a great one, click Upload Profile Picture.

Now it’s time to choose your cover image, the most prominent image on your Facebook Business Page. This image should capture the essence of your brand and convey your brand personality. It will display at 820 x 312 pixels on desktop or 640 x 360 pixels on mobile. The image must be at least 400 pixels wide and 150 tall.

Once you’ve selected an appropriate image, click Upload a Cover Photo.

Step 3: Explore your new Page

Ta-da! Your page is alive, albeit it extremely sparse. At this point, you’ll be prompted to take a quick walk-through of a few features. Unless you’re already well aware of how Facebook Business Pages operate, we recommend clicking through the prompts, just so you know where everything is. It only takes a few seconds.

Of course, while the skeleton of the Facebook Page for your business is now in place, you’ve still got some work to do before you share it with your audience.
Step 4: Add a short description

This is your opportunity to tell people about your business. It should be just a couple of sentences (maximum 155 characters), so there’s no need to get too elaborate here. Click Add a Short Description, then just share what your customers need to know as clearly and concisely as possible. You can add a longer description later on.
Click Save when you’re done.
Step 5: Create your username

Your username, also called your vanity URL, is how you’ll tell people where to find you on Facebook. Your username can be up to 50 characters long, but don’t use extra characters just because you can. You want it to be easy to type and easy to remember. Your business name or some obvious variation of it is a safe bet.

Click Create a Username for Your Page to set up your vanity URL.

Click Create Username when you’re done. A box will pop up showing you the links people can use to connect with your business on Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

Click OK to continue filling in your Facebook for business Page details.
Step 6: Complete your about section

While you might be tempted to leave the details for later, it’s important to fill out all of the fields in your Facebook Page’s About section right from the start. As Facebook is often the very first place a customer goes to get information about you, having it all there is extremely important. If someone is looking for a business that’s open till 9 and can’t find this information on your Page, they’ll surely keep looking until they find another place that’s more forthcoming.

It’s also a good idea to list information about your Facebook Messenger protocol, such as your customer service reps’ online hours and estimated response time.

To get started, click About in the left-hand menu of your Facebook Page.

From this screen, you can add or edit your specific business details, like your start date, contact information, and other social accounts. Depending on your type of business, you may be able to add specific details like a menu or information about your price range and whether you offer valet parking.

This is also the screen where you can add a longer description of your business. Click Edit Story on the right side of the Page to provide a detailed description of what your business offers customers and why they should Like or Follow your Page. This is a great place to set expectations about how you’ll interact with fans through your Facebook Page for business purposes and to offer a compelling reason for them to engage with you online.

To specify your business location and hours, click Edit Page Info on the top right of the screen.

When you’re finished, click Save Changes.
Step 7. Create your first post

Before you start inviting people to like the Facebook Page for your business, you’ll want to make sure you share some valuable content. You can create some of your own posts, or share relevant content from thought leaders in your industry.

You could also create a more specific type of post, like an event or product offer—just click through the tabs at the top of the status box to bring up all the options.

Make sure that whatever you post offers value for your visitors when they arrive at your Facebook Page, so they’ll be inclined to stick around.

Your Facebook Business Page now represents a robust online presence that will make potential customers and fans feel comfortable interacting with you.

Step 8: Start engaging

Now you’re ready to give your Facebook Business Page a bit of a nudge. Invite family and friends to like the Page. Use your other channels, like your website and Twitter, to promote it. Add “follow us” logos on your promotional materials and/or email signature. If you’re comfortable with it, you can even ask your customers review you on Facebook, too.
How to optimize your Facebook Page

Now that you’ve got the basics of how to setup a Facebook Business Page in place, it’s time to think about ways to optimize your Page to maximize engagement and meet your Facebook marketing goals.

Here’s a quick video overview of the steps you can take to optimize your Facebook Business Page. We’ll dig into these components in more detail below.

Add a call to action

There are hundreds of reasons why people visit your page, and you may not be able to provide them with all the information they need right on your Page. But you can provide them with a way to get it by setting up a call-to-action (CTA) button.

Facebook’s built-in CTA button makes it virtually frictionless to give the consumer what they’re looking for, including allowing them to engage with your business in real life.

By default, Facebook adds a Send Message button, encouraging visitors to contact you through Facebook Messenger. But you can change this to allow visitors to learn more about your business, shop, download your app, or book an appointment.

To customize your CTA, hover your mouse over the Send Messagebutton on your Facebook Page, then select Edit Button. Choose the type of button you want, then select the specific message to appear on the button. When you’re happy with your choice, click Next.

Depending on the button you chose, you may be asked to select some additional options. When you’re ready, click Finish and your call-to-action button will go live.
Add a pinned post

Is there important information you want all visitors to your Page to see? A promotion you don’t want them to miss? A top-performing piece of content you want to show off? Put it in a pinned post.

A pinned post sits at the top of your Facebook Page, just under your cover image, so it’s a great place to put an attention-grabbing item that will draw your visitors in and make them want to stick around.

Start by writing a normal post, or scrolling down your feed to find an existing post you want to pin to the top of your Page. Click the three dots on the top right of the post, then click Pin to Top of Page.

Once you’ve pinned the post, you’ll see a blue thumbtack icon in the top right corner.

Make the most of tabs

Tabs appear on the left-hand side of your Facebook Page, and include standard options such as the About section and photos. You can take your Page to the next level by adding other tabs and apps that enhance the user experience.

Facebook tab apps, such as TabSite, allow you to build custom tabs so that you can run campaigns and contests, share special offers, and capture leads. For other tab options, check out our list of 32 useful Facebook Page apps for business.

If you are a developer or are working with a developer, and your Page has more than 2,000 fans, you can also create custom tabs from scratch. For more information on this, see the Facebook for Developers guide on Using Page Tabs.
Like other Pages

Since Facebook is, after all, a social network, it’s a good idea to use your Page to build a community for your business rather than viewing it as simply an extension of your online presence. One way to build community is to feature other Pages that are relevant to your business but not competitors.

For example, if you run a shop in a popular shopping area or mall, you could feature other shops in the same area, like an online version of your local business improvement association or chamber of commerce. If you have a virtual business, you could feature other businesses in your industry that could provide additional value for your followers without competing directly with your products.

Here’s how this looks in practice on the Hootsuite Facebook Page:

To feature a Facebook for Business Page in your Likes Pages section, click the more icon (three dots) under the Page’s cover photo, then click Like as Your Page. If you have more than one Facebook Business Page, choose which one you want to use to Like the other business, then click Submit.

Review your settings

Your Facebook Page settings allow you to get into some pretty fine details about who can administer the page, where the page is visible, words banned from the page, and so on. You can also see how fans are interacting with your Page, including who has favorited it, and so much more.

Think of the Settings tab as your behind-the-scenes console for every adjustable parameter available to you. Take a few minutes to go through each setting and make sure that it’s optimized for how you want to manage the Page and how you want your audience to interact with you.

To access your settings, just click Settings at the top right of your Facebook Page.

It’s important to check your settings regularly, as your preferences and requirements may change as your business—and social following—grows.
Learn from Page Insights

The more information you have about your audience, the more content you can create to satisfy their needs. Facebook’s Page Insights makes it easy to gather data about how your fans are interacting with your Page and the content you share.

Insights gives you information about your Page’s overall performance, including data on audience demographics and engagement. You can see metrics on your posts so you can understand how many people you’re reaching. You’ll also see how many comments and reactions are gained from specific posts—data that helps you plan future content.

A key feature of Insights is the ability to see how many people have clicked on your call-to-action button, website, phone number, and address. This data is divided by demographics such as age, gender, country, city, and device, making it easier for you to tailor future content to your audience.

For more details, check out our post on how to learn from Facebook Insights.

Bonus: Download a free guide that teaches you how to turn Facebook traffic into sales in four simple steps using Hootsuite.
Link to your Facebook Page from other web pages

Backlinks help boost the credibility of your Facebook Business Page and may help improve your search engine ranking.

Simply link to your brand’s Facebook Page wherever you can. Include a link at the bottom of your blog posts and where appropriate on your website. Encourage other companies and bloggers to do the same whenever possible, such as when sharing content or mentioning your business.
Get verified

The coveted verification badge shows visitors to your Facebook Page that you’re legit—so they can be confident they’re dealing directly with your brand and not with an imposter or fan page. We lay out the step-by-step instructions in our post on how to get verified on Facebook.

Once your Facebook Page is set up and optimized, check out our full guide to marketing on Facebook to take your Facebook strategy to the next level.

Now that you’ve set up your Facebook Page (and optimized it), manage your Facebook presence by using Hootsuite to schedule posts, share video, engage with followers, and measure the impact of your efforts. Try it free today.

Polls have also been built into Messenger, which is the spin-off app that hosts Facebook’s messenger service.

Whatever question captures your curiosity you will now be able to pose to your friends on Facebook.

The new update will be rolled out to Facebook users on Friday, November 3 and will be available globally.
How to use Facebook Polls

1. Open the Facebook app – even your granny has a profile these days.

2. Go to write a status, if it’s a personal profile click ‘Whats on your mind?’ if it is a public page click ‘Write something’.

3. When you click to begin writing a status you will see a list at the bottom of the screen listing other options to include in your status like adding a photo/video, live video, check in etc.

4. Scroll to the bottom of this list and click ‘Polls’ which you will see near the bottom.

5. Now write your question where it prompts you to do so/

6. Then add in the two possible answers to the question in the two boxes provided, you have 25 characters for each answer, so maybe ‘What is the meaning of life?’ is not a Facebook Poll worthy question.

7. Add in GIFs or pictures for each answer by clicking the symbols beside each answer box.

8. Set the expiry day Poll, 1 day, 1 week, never or whatever you want.

9. Then click post in the top right corner which will set the poll live on your Facebook page.

10. You will be able to see how people are voting as the vote come in, and anyone who casts a vote in your poll can see how other voters voted too.

11. Ponder more of life’s great questions and see if the possible answers can be condensed to 25 characters.
