Do you want a simple way to get visitors to your website from Facebook? A way to let MORE people know about who you are, what you do, and where your website is located? Well, I’ve got a simple Facebook tip for you that’s so easy it takes only 2 minutes!
Add Your Website URLs to your Facebook “About” Tab
With the popularity of Facebook, Facebook Business Pages, and Facebook Groups, if someone wants to know more about you, the FIRST thing they do is go to your “About” Tab. Don’t miss this easy opportunity to share more about who you are and what you do. Add your website URLs to your “About” tab.
See an example from my Facebook profile below:
Facebook isn’t only a place to interact with your friends. It’s also a place where people go to SEARCH for people! (When I’m looking for someone, I go to Facebook first, and then Google) So make it easy for folks to find you! Update your “About” Tab in Facebook now.
Note: This is NOT a tip about Fan Pages/Business Pages or expensive Facebook Ads. This is about your personal profile on Facebook. It’s free for you to do!
Simple Steps to Add your Websites to Your Facebook Profile:
- Go to Facebook –>
- Click on your About Tab –>
- Scroll down and hover until you see the “Edit your contact and basic info” Click on that (see below) –>
4. Once inside your Contact and Basic info, Click on the Edit link in your “Websites” section (see below) –>
5. Here you can enter up to 6 website URLs you have –> and click on “Save Changes” (see below) –>
Go ahead and try this out on your Facebook profile and send me your link!

Totally had forgotten to add two of my websites that I created after I had setup Facebook. Thanks for your post! Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/laurastewardatchison
Laura,
your FB page looks great! Easy to find your websites!
Thanks Christina!
Thanks Christina. Prompted me to update my FB profile.
Jean,
Yes, I too updated my FB profile as I was writing this blog post
Your tip came just as I began building my fan page. Sometimes I know where to put something but not entirely ‘why’ and ‘how’. Your tips are always very helpful for knowing that.
Fay, that’s great that this post has been helpful!
