This wikiHow teaches you how to leave a comment on a Facebook Page (for a brand, service, organization, or public figure) as a Page you manage. Commenting on other Pages with your own organization or brand name is a great way to build community and increase your Page's reach. You must be a Page admin, editor, or moderator to comment on as a Page.

2
Go to the Page on which you want to comment. To search for a Page by name, tap the magnifying glass icon at the top of Facebook, type the name, and then tap it in the search results.
