Over the past couple years the Facebook Pages and Groups products have moved closer together, forcing marketers to ask themselves: which one should they use? After writing a complete guide to Facebook Pages, we thought it would be useful to highlight the core differences between Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups. If you had any lingering questions, this guide should completely clear things up for you!
What Are Facebook Groups?
If you don’t know what Facebook groups are, there’s a good chance you haven’t spent more than an hour on Facebook. However if you are a rare exception, we thought it would be useful to explain groups. According to Facebook, groups are “for members of groups to connect, share and even collaborate on a given topic or idea”. While the company continues to make a distinction between groups and Facebook Pages, we see these products eventually merging over time.
Groups can serve as an extremely effective marketing tool. Most importantly, groups serve as a tool for building awareness around various ideas. We’ve rapidly seen many users use Facebook Pages for the same purpose, but this is what groups were initially intended for. The key feature behind Facebook groups is the ability to make them “invite only” or limited to specific networks.
What Are Facebook Pages?
In contrast to Facebook groups, which are focused on organizing around topics or ideas, Facebook Pages “allow entities such as public figures and organizations to broadcast information to their fans.” If you are looking to set up your company’s “official Facebook presence” you would opt for Facebook Pages. We’ve previously highlighted the features of Pages in our Facebook Pages guide and a number of other articles.
Simply put, Facebook Pages are a tool for companies and public figures to engage their fans and customers. With the eventual launch of the Open Graph API, Facebook Pages will continue to serve as a tool for Facebook users to interact with companies and public figures around the web.
Groups Vs Pages: A Feature Comparison
For those looking to determine whether or not groups or Pages will more effectively serve their needs, we’ve decided to highlight the various features that the two products have and how they differ from one another. After reading through this guide you should be able to make a decision about which product will best serve you.
Mass Messaging
One of the best features of groups is the ability to send messages directly to members’ Facebook inboxes. As the table at the end of this post highlights, messages are restricted once a group surpasses 5,000 members. If you are looking to build a group for marketing purposes, this feature will quickly become useless as the group surpasses a certain level. However the ability to send messages directly to a user’s inbox results in higher conversions over Facebook Page notifications, something we’ll highlight later.
Indexed By Search Engines
Both groups and Facebook Pages are indexed by search engines, however Facebook Pages provide administrators with greater search engine optimization opportunities (see our Facebook Page SEO guide) when used in conjunction with the Static FBML application. That doesn’t mean Facebook groups have zero Google juice. You can control the content within the information area of your group, which is sufficient for showing up in Google and other search engines.
Stream Publishing
One of the most significant features of groups and Pages is the ability to publish stories to members’ and fans’ news feeds. While stories will not be visible to all users, stream stories can obtain a significant reach. Just as Facebook users have their status updates displayed in their friends’ feeds, groups and Facebook Pages can do the exact same thing. While I don’t know how Facebook prioritizes group stream stories versus Facebook Page stories, Facebook Pages provide post insights which adds a little more value to administrators.
Targeted Stream Posts
In addition to being able to publish to fans’ streams, Facebook Pages also have the ability to target stream posts based on location in language. If you have successfully attracted fans from around the world, you may want to distribute your English content directly to English speaking fans. Alternatively, you may want to limit the content you publish international content to international users, rather than bombarding your domestic fans with irrelevant content.
Targeted Updates
While Facebook has continued to de-emphasize the importance of Facebook Page updates (or notifications), they still remain as a valuable communication channel for Facebook Page administrators. If you want to learn how to send Page updates you can read more here. Facebook Page updates show up in your fans’ inboxes under a separate tab named “Updates”. Since moving updates to this area from the Facebook requests page, the open rate (and response rate) on updates has increased dramatically.
Support For Applications
One of the most significant differentiators between Facebook groups and Pages is the ability for Pages to include applications. Applications enable Facebook Page administrators to extensively customize their Pages. For example, the Static FBML application lets Pages administrators create custom page tabs. Some Facebook Page administrators have opted to use more interactive applications. For example, Einstein Bagels is giving away bagels to users that become fans of their Facebook Page. A BMW dealer in Minnesota published their entire lot inventory on their Facebook Page.
The point is that custom applications provide Facebook Page administrators with infinite customization opportunities.
Membership Restrictions
One of the few benefits of groups over Facebook Pages is the ability to restrict who can access them. There are three types of groups: open, closed, and secret. Open groups function just like Facebook Pages: anybody can join them. Closed groups appear in Facebook search results, however group administrators must approve all members of the group. Secret groups are not visible in Facebook search results and are accessed by invite only. In contrast to groups, Facebook Pages are always public and there is no option to make them private. This is a key differentiator between the two products.
Event Inbox Messaging
One of the greatest weaknesses of Facebook events created by Facebook Page administrators is that you cannot send inbox messages to your fans. Instead, users are sent Page updates. While a decent percentage of your Facebook Page fan base will see the update about new events, many fans will not see the notification. While you can use Facebook ads to promote the event, it’s more challenging to reach all fans.
In contrast, Facebook groups can send event invites to their members. As usual there are still restrictions even to group administrators. As is the case with mass messages, Facebook group admins are restricted from sending event invites to members once the group is beyond 5,000 members. As is the case with Facebook Page, the best way to ensure your members are aware of the event is by using Facebook ads.
Engagement Metrics
One of the greatest values of Facebook Pages is a feature called “Page insights“. Page Insights provide administrators with information about the demographic break down of their Facebook Page fan base as well as engagement information. Whether it’s the number of people viewing media (photos and videos) on your Facebook Page or the number of likes and comments, Page Insights provides administrators with a lot of detail about user interactions.
This in itself may be the one reason you choose Facebook Pages over groups, however some individuals have no interest in detailed analytics. If you want detailed information about how your fans are engaging with you and who your fans are, Facebook Page insights should be a reason to choose Pages over groups.
Promotional Widgets
Want to convert visitors to your company website into fans of your Facebook Page? Facebook provides all administrators with Facebook Fanbox widget (as pictured to the left) to help promote their Facebook Pages. Facebook groups on the other hand, have no similar feature. Simply put, Facebook Page are developed for organizations and public figures to engage with their fans, which is why Facebook is working to help administrators promote their Facebook Pages as much as possible.
While Facebook provides other widgets for webmasters, the fan box widget is the only widget that is currently available for Facebook Page administrators. Learn more about Facebook fan box widget.
Vanity URLs
The final feature is vanity URLs (also called “usernames”). Vanity URLs are the unique URLs that redirect users to your Facebook Page. Facebook groups do not have this functionality as they are simply tools for discussion but not a place for brands and public figures to engage with their fan base. The idea is that by having a vanity URL, you can more easily promote your Facebook Page. When you are talking to your customers you can say “Just visit facebook dot com slash ‘my business’ to learn more about us”.
If you want a vanity URL for your personal Facebook profile or your Facebook Page, you can visit the username assignment page.
Conclusion
If you are trying to determine whether to use a Facebook Page or a Facebook group to promote your company or spread ideas, this guide should help you make a decision. We’ve also created a handy chart below, that breaks down the various features of Facebook pages versus Facebook groups. If you have any other questions about the difference between the two products, feel free to post them in the comments!
I Agree with the benefits of having a page, but to improve them Facebook should permit mass messaging in order to be able to make the page grows
Comment by Marc Rosell — February 2, 2010 @ 7:31 am
There is an important thing that you forgot, is about inviting people when ypu create an event at pages, you can only invite your friends, is not possible to invite your fans. At least the pages owners should be able to invite all fans to the events.
Thanks
Comment by Marc Rosell — February 2, 2010 @ 7:34 am
I've always been annoyed that Facebook didn't make some sort of tool for transforming groups into pages. My organization has kept a group because they don't want the hassle of getting everyone moved from one place to another. But I guess I understand why Facebook can't make a tool like that, what with the differing privacy settings between groups and pages.

As a user of both the Fan Page and Group, there really seems to be a disconnect that the two exist as different aspects of the same thing. I publish group events weekly for users to interact with that are totally lost to the fan page until I update the blog which then publishes via networked feeds into the fan page. It would make WAY MORE SENSE to allow users to push the Group tool onto the fan page, so that you can get the best of both worlds.
Seems like a really missed opportunity.
Comment by Facebook User — February 2, 2010 @ 9:03 am
Thanks for the nice compilation. I have been using groups a lot. But never had a page yet. Now I am gonna hit it.
Comment by Rooturaj Pattanaik — February 2, 2010 @ 9:31 am
You didn't mention the difference between Pages and groups as to how they handle photos. On a Page you can organize the photos you add into albums, and create an almost unlimited number of albums. In a group you can add photos, but you can not create albums, so all of the photos are dumped into one large area, with the most recent ones at the top of the pile.
Comment by Bruce — February 2, 2010 @ 8:45 am
I don't think they should charge to use facebook. It is not fair.
Comment by bob — February 2, 2010 @ 11:21 am
Groups do not publish updates into the stream. Posts from group admins show up from a personal Facebook account and not the Group itself. However when a group member comments on something in the Group stream the action may show up in the homepage stream of their friends. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Comment by Mark — February 2, 2010 @ 1:00 pm
Addendum: Same goes for friends posting to the Group stream, it will show up on the homepage streams of their friends.
Comment by Mark — February 2, 2010 @ 1:02 pm
Solid post!
But if by "mass messaging" you mean sending messages to everyone, you are able to with pages. All you have to do is click "Edit Page" then in the right side, click on "Send an Update to Fans"
It won't show up as a message, but when you go to your inbox, to the left it says, "Updates" and that's what those are. I personally find them to be annoying though.
Otherwise, I liked this, thanks for posting!
Comment by Kyle Webs — February 2, 2010 @ 7:37 pm
I would say a big difference is how personally public the person in charge of the page/group is. I was touched upon by Mark, but EVERYTHING you do while administering a FB group is shown as being done by you personally, while a page is more anonymous, everything is done in the name of the page, so to speak. You need to decide whether you yourself want to be the posterboy for your FB presence or not.
Comment by Facebook User — February 2, 2010 @ 11:41 pm
Although you are right that Facebook Applications cannot be added to Facebook Groups (as opposed to Facebook Fan Pages) I would like to point out that there are some applications that can interact with Facebook Groups.
One of them is RSS Graffiti (http://facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti) which will allow you to publish RSS/Atom feeds to the wall of any Facebook Group you administer.
Comment by Yannis Roussochatzak — February 3, 2010 @ 3:28 am
Great article, Nick, tweeted and FB-Shared. 1 clarification: Unless this has recently changed and I am unaware, Groups cannot publish to the stream for all of its members – rather – when an admin OR a group member posts, it will appear in the stream of anyone who is both a group member AND a friend of the poster.
Comment by Dave Kerpen — February 3, 2010 @ 3:45 am
I wish they would just get rid of groups. I'm tired of explaining to businesses that they need to create a fan page. And the response is always "we have one and it does nothing". It is because they are using a group.
Comment by Jesse L. Medford — February 3, 2010 @ 6:38 pm
Hi.
So just to make sure I understood properly, can anyone confirm that now, when the Fan Page functionality “send an update to fan” is used, the fans do not receive an email anymore?
I don’t even see where the update goes ?!
What’s the difference then between this and simply posting a message that will show on the fan news feed???!
I thought there was a time when we could : Any idea if FB will put this emailing functionality back?

Comment by Yawye — February 4, 2010 @ 8:57 am
I read this post with interest as someone with both a group and a fanpage for the same purpose. I started off with a group in the beginning, then moved over to the fanpage because at that time, you could only publish to newsfeeds with a fanpage and also you could get a vanity URL that way.
However, I organize local events and my “followers” are less than 500 right now so it’s important to me to be able to send them messages and invite the entire group to events. Since the fanpage can’t do this for me, I’m forced to use groups. And now, group updates are posted in newsfeeds so that is one more thing it has going for it.
I can see how a large company would want to go for a fanpage over a group but for smaller scale marketing, I still think groups are the way to go.
Comment by Facebook User — February 4, 2010 @ 9:44 am
Thanks so much for this article, I found it incredibly useful. I have to agree largely with the last person who left comments – my organisation first had a group page which was brilliant for messaging all members directly. I then set up a fan page for a vanity URL and the fact they can be indexed on search pages and go on newsfeeds, plus I did not have to be the “posterboy” (or girl in my case) when I updated the page. BUT the lack of mass messaging is a real problem for me and as the last person said, a group works well for small scale marketing for those with an equally small budget. However I am going to explore this again. I think a fan page could be a useful way of reaching out to a less traditional supporter base.
Comment by Sarah Gardner — February 5, 2010 @ 11:37 am
I was wandering if how does it work in FB Pages the "repost" feature, as it exists in Twitter with "retweet". For example, if I see an interesting photo album in my personal stream, how do I repost it on a FB page wall that I administer?
Comment by Patricia Martin — February 8, 2010 @ 9:59 am
Isn’t another key difference the privacy of groups vs. pages? In the current iteration of Facebook, I can join a group and hide my groups, but I can’t hide pages, even in my public listing. Can you comment? Thx
Comment by Sadie — February 8, 2010 @ 12:16 pm
I'd like to interact as my business page with others but when I become a fan it becomes part of my individual account. How do I keep my individual account and my business account separate?
Comment by donna wilson — February 13, 2010 @ 4:23 pm
I administer a group for our local animal shelter. I had to set up a separate profile so my posts wouldn't show to all my personal friends. We were considering transitioning to a fan page, but the ability to email is our most important feature since many participants aren't regular visitors to Facebook.

Can someone tell me what info from my personal profile is displayed to the "Group" when I join a FB Group, and can the Group creator see more or same info as another member of the Group can see about me? In other words, can the Group I join see my "Wall", "Info", "Photos", etc?? THANK YOU!

Another difference is the iPhone app for FB supports accessing and book marking fan pages but does not support access to groups as of 8/7/10.
Comment by Gary — August 8, 2010 @ 4:52 pm
There are a few conflicting posts on whether group updates are posted on everyone's newsfeeds. I cannot seem to get it to show on my group members' newsfeeds. Am I missing something?
Comment by Isaac — August 10, 2010 @ 12:58 am
I just posted an update to members who liked my page and it's not showing up so I think something amy have changed (again) since this page was written.
If I can't contact people who like my page then I may be better off with a group….
We'll see if it's simply slow in turning up.
Comment by Karen — October 15, 2010 @ 7:15 pm
i'm in the same boat as most, i want groups and pages IN ONE,
i want a fan page that can send msg to all members.
does anyone else do this:
make a fan page.
make an event for the fan page…
the event is called: fan page mailing list (insert your page name)
the event never ends
you have a fanpage, but you use the events thing to msg everyone
anyone else doing this??
i haven't made my page yet but i'm thinking this is the best alternative i have, i dont want to start both a page and a group….. if i choose i i'd rather be on people's newsfeeds than the ability to msg. in experience i admin a few groups for fun and NONE of my posts onto these group walls show up on people's newsfeeds. lame. posting as of oct2010
Comment by Steve — October 20, 2010 @ 4:00 am
I am the 'information officer' for my local Little League group. The board does NOT want fans to be able to comment on my posts. They fear a stray comment would be harmful and not caught in time before it does damage. We only wish to share important dates & info, etc. but there seems to be no way to do this without users being able to comment. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can work around this or how I can convince the 'board' to cast aside their fears and join 2010?
Comment by Information Officer — October 25, 2010 @ 4:14 pm
As far as I can tell group activities do NOT post to a persons newsfeed. Which is what people want.
Comment by dg1 — October 26, 2010 @ 12:58 pm
I have a fan page and I hate it. It's so damn useless. FB wanted everyone to get one and then not let you interact with your fans in any real way. Very few ppl know the "Updates" section of their inbox even exists. That's where "update fans" messages are relegated. The problem with Events says everything. All of fans want to know when my band is playing again – we cannot add them to the FB invite if they are not our "personal friend" > STUPID. What is the advantage to becoming a fan anyway??? there is no connection to the fan or brand unless they happen to visit your page. Yes, the news feed shows some updates, but I find almost no one comments on these compared to my personal friend page (which I had wanted to avoid using).
Comment by tara — November 10, 2010 @ 9:57 pm
Personally I don't think it's terribly well implemented. There is much confusion over groups vs pages; some people use one and not the other, some both, some use the 'wrong' one. It's mildly annoying as a user, actually.
Comment by Bob — November 16, 2010 @ 12:05 am
how do I create a group with members in it? I could only find the option to make a page with the 'like' button. I'm soo confused!

Pages, Group, blah blah blah.
Facebook want you to get a group to monetize your advertising "i.e. invites to events, etc"
Be smart GET THEM ALL!!!
Get a group
Get a fan page
create a personal/business account using the same name.
Use the same name and picture for them all.
I created a group which is grow super fast. On that group I promote the fan page "so i can send updates", on that group i post using the personal page "which has status updates linking back to the Fan Page".
and no it's not as hard as it sounds.
You just make the Personal page the Admin of the Fan Page, and the Admin of the Group, and log in as the Personal Page when you are ready to interact. to make it easier, use a browser you never use "IE, Chrome, Safari etc, and just rename the shortcut "Your Brand/Business" and set the home page to Facebook and set it to always keep you logged in"
I also use Facebook ads:
I promote to people on the group who are not connected to the fanpage.
I promote to people on the fanpage who are not connected to the group.
If you bid CPM it's super cheap. people will click super fast. I only pay $0.01 per click, and once they join they are no longer advertised to. So soon as someone joins the group or page a ad pops up asking to the to Like the page or join the group "easy as pie".
And it Works Great. People are connected to both. and some people even ad the Facebook personal account as a friend.
They can chat amongst them selves in the group, and receive wall post and updates from the fan page, and receive wall updates from the personal page "hit them from 3 angles" now i don't spam I limit to 1 post a week, or a post if it's something really important.
But listen to this Facebook published PR. Keep you group, Keep a personal Page, and Create a Fan page, and use them all.
All three have there benefit.
Fan page for Approved Messages
Group for discussion and engaging user, and creating events
Personal Page for One -on- One discusions, chats, etc

BUT the new groups dont have any place to put links, or general info, etc. its a mish mash sort of thing, im using the DOCs to put up infor yet that can be editing by anybody? eh? what gives??

Interesting post, Clarence. You seem to have determined the critical path.
However, as someone who mistakenly (newbie) tried to use a personal profile as a Page and subsequently got busted – account suspended – are you not in danger of maintaining multiple accounts – something FB now say is a sackable offence?
Maybe this shouldn't be a public conversation. my email is vitchling@hotmail.com

You can get a vanity URL for your Facebook Group (or page, profile, or application) from http://www.fbfollow.me.
You can have yourname.fbfollow.me, or yourname.fbfind.me, or yourname.fbjoin.me or yourname.fbtry.me or yourname.fbadd.me

Is there any update on FB trajectory for "FB Group" Dev and functionality?
It seems impossible to me that there will not be apps support on the horizon – now that fanpages have been straightened out. And it seems even more so impossible to imagine that Groups won't actually be a preferred mechanism over fan pages for certain critical social network application as privacy issues and the desire for semi-closed but highly functional social membership sites could be subsumed by Facebook… like overnight. And, the fact that they have build "groups" in the first place.
I recently did an experiment offering the same highly motivated but loosely knit social group (1) a NING group all tricked out and (2) a no-frills facebook group page – and then watched both invitation/membership adoption and conversation patterns. Not a scientific test to be sure, but revealing.
I even promoted the NING group more heavily because of the relative much less 'brand' awareness – and because NING clearly offered MUCH more functionality which I presumed would enhance the interactive-ness of the site once people were inside as members.
The results are that with fairly heavy prodding I got about 50% more members on NING over the course of 1 month, but the interaction has been at least 500% more intense and spontaneous in the facebook group.
My conclusion is that it is just too convenient to have that group tab sitting right there – and to have the user interface be so familiar that it is where people launch and follow discussions.
I did notice that the demographics were different in the two groups though… interesting insight there as well.
My conclusion… FB Groups would be better to accomplish the high level of interaction that I seek from a discussion group, but need a way to use Apps AND integrate with membership and other SW – and a way to filter which parts of the content and discussion gets out to members' Walls. This both user control and moderator or group admin controlled to get the job done right. My guess is this will explode the moment FB gets the scent and acts on it.
What is your assessment?
Best,
PresumptiveGreg…

I am having this same issue. I cannot decide whether or not to make a page or group. I think both has its benefits.
I will not be directly linking to a website but I may want to add one in the future.
I think I will just make one of each and see how much it takes to maintain both

I think Facebook could help the Group community immensely by adding the same functionality to albums (sorting-editing) as you have for Pages and Profiles.
Pictures as famously quoted, say a thousand words and in the right order or structure say a billion words or more importantly can tell an important story.
Very powerful this feature/functionality would be in Group Albums as well.

is it still not possible to transfer your likes in a group to your pages? and why not facebook tell me they are removing groups but groups look like pages without the added benefits, why can't they just group them and create them as pages with the benefits of groups and pages – crazy
Comment by Graham — November 21, 2011 @ 1:18 pm
No one replied to John and I would like to know this as well. How in the heck can a member hide themselves, not block you and keep fro being listed as a member so a admin or creator can find them and ban and delete them??? I have seen and had this happen in different groups and different states. So it is all over. Not just one group or location! These people are real and local people I have met. One person was banned and deleted off my group and now she has come back and was added under another name. I went to the members list to find her and could not. I tired everyway possible to find her as a member. She is def still a memeber because she keeps posting commentes! Dumb facebook and internet. Ugh people. Please someone respond!

I've been struggling with this lately. I have quite a few fanpages and right now, I'm using them to promote my free reports. I don't think Facebook allows you to advertise groups; I may be wrong.
I like being able to incorporate apps and html into my fanpages though. If they ever add a way to email from Fanpages, it's going to time to make some $$$!
