Facebook Group or Page: A Decision Guide
Choose the right community format.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Help me decide between a page, a group, or both. Purpose and audience: [PURPOSE_AUDIENCE]. Moderation time available: [MODERATION_TIME]. Goals: [GOALS]. Compare the formats in a table on reach, interaction, moderation burden, privacy, discoverability and control. Ask me five questions to clarify the purpose, and recommend an option with reasoning. If I choose a group, provide a launch plan for the first 30 days: rules, welcome post, weekly rituals, and seeding conversation. If a page, provide a posting plan that invites comments. Include moderation rules, a privacy note for member data, and an exit strategy if the platform changes. Mark platform features as needing verification [VERIFY] because they change often. Also add a template for group rules and a set of weekly post ideas that invite members to talk, such as a recurring question day. Include a short worked example for an invented neighbourhood running club, showing how the answers lead to a recommendation, labelled as an illustration.
