What’s a Professional Profile on Facebook?

Unlike a personal profile designed for sharing updates with friends and family, a professional profile is tailored for balancing both personal and business use. It’s the ideal setup for sharing industry insights, connecting with clients, and building a reputation without blending personal life into their business presence. See this article for information on switching your personal profile to a professional one.

Unlike regular posts, boosted posts allow you to define a radius, budget, and campaign duration. For mortgage professionals, this means more people (like local potential homebuyers and agent partners) will see your content.

It’s an accessible, low-effort way to attract leads and engage a broader audience, helping you get the most out of your content on social media.

Setting Up a Facebook Ad Account (It’s Easier Than You Think!)

Before you boost your first post, setting up a Facebook Ad Account is essential. This makes it easy to track spending, monitor engagement, and use Facebook’s advertising tools in the future.

Quick Steps to Set Up Your Account

• Step 1: Go to Facebook’s Business Manager. [https://business.facebook.com/]

• Step 2: Add your business name and details, including payment information.

• Step 3: Link your professional profile to this ad account.

Once you’re set-up, this one-time task makes future boosts easier and allows you to maximize every dollar you invest in your social media marketing.

How to Boost a Post in Just a Four Steps

Now that your ad account is ready, here’s how to boost a post and reach a larger audience:

Step 1: Choose Your Best Post

• Pick a post that aligns with what’s relevant in the mortgage world right now. If you’ve shared tips for first-time homebuyers or recent interest rate updates, these are great candidates to boost. Prioritize posts that have already received likes or comments—this shows they’re engaging.

Step 2: Set Special Ad Category

• Since your post is related to housing, you’ll need to designate it under Facebook’s “Special Ad Category.” This category is required for ads involving housing, credit, and employment to ensure compliance with Facebook’s policies on fair advertising.

To do this:

• • • In the boost settings, look for the “Special Ad Category” option.

• • • Select “Housing” from the dropdown menu.

Setting this category helps ensure your ad reaches the right audience while staying within Facebook’s guidelines, so you can maximize visibility without any compliance issues.

Step 3: Set Your Budget and Duration

• Start small. Facebook lets you set a daily budget, so you can keep it affordable and test the waters. Run your boost for a few days to see how much reach you can achieve with a minimal investment.

Step 4: Review and Boost

• Double-check your settings, make sure the budget, radius, and duration are to your liking, and then hit “Boost.” You’re done! Facebook will start showing your post to your chosen audience, and you can check back to see how it’s performing.
