What is the difference between different types of Facebook pages?
As promised , here is a small explanation from Facebook regarding the differences in the functionality of Community Pages and regular Facebook pages.
Public pages and standard Facebook pages have different goals. Standard pages allow you to communicate with your audience and find fans on Facebook. Public pages allow users to represent their interests and receive general information on any topic.
Public Pages
')
Public pages contain information on general topics: for example, there is a public page about pizza or running. The information on these pages consists of Wikipedia articles and Facebook comments on this topic. When a Facebook user mentions a term related to the topic of a public page, then this post is automatically published on the public page dedicated to this topic.
No one controls or specifically publishes information on public pages. They simply provide users with the opportunity to see with whom from other Facebook users their interests coincide. At the same time, the friends of the user can learn more about his interests if they follow the link in the user profile to a public page dedicated to a particular interest of the user. If a person likes pizza, he can become a fan of the public page “pizza”, and a link to this page will appear in the user's profile in the “interests” section. In addition, users can see all the comments of their friends on topics of interest to them on public pages.
Facebook pages
Facebook pages have much broader functionality than public pages. They allow you to communicate with fans and publish information directly to the news feed. The creator of the page must officially represent the organization or person to whom the page is dedicated.
Also, standard pages have many such features that public pages do not have, for example, within a standard page you can create an event, start a discussion, post photos, post an application, publish a note, get statistics on the page audience.
Below is a comparison of the difference in functionality between public pages and ordinary pages on Facebook:
