We create and manage social media pages for a few clients in the Atlanta area, and a client asked me how to do this. I didn’t know how to do it by memory, so I searched Google for the answer. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find a blog post that showed how to do it, so I learned how to do it myself. I’ll show you how to comment as yourself personally and as the Facebook company page that you are managing, and I’ll show you how to do this from a desktop computer, tablet, and from a mobile phone.

When I say “Facebook company page”, I am referring to any Facebook company page in which you have an admin role. When I say “yourself”, I mean your personal Facebook profile.

Create a New Post on a Facebook Company Page as Yourself from a Desktop Computer

Commenting on a Facebook company page from your personal profile on a desktop computer is now pretty similar to doing it on an iPhone and iPad. Here are the steps:

1. Click your company page’s profile pic thumbnail and select your personal profile.

2. Create a post.

Comment on a Facebook Company Page’s Existing Post as Yourself from a Desktop Computer

The steps to comment on a Facebook company page’s existing post are simple. Here are the explanation of the numbers in the screenshot above:

1. Click your company page’s profile pic thumbnail close to the top of the page and select your personal profile. The profile thumbnail image now floats at the top as you scroll down.
2. Select your personal profile.
3. Comment on a post.

You switch profiles and comment by clicking on the small profile pic with the down arrow and selecting another profile.

Comment as Yourself on a Visitor’s Post on a Facebook Company Page from a Desktop Computer

If a visitor posts on your Facebook company page, you can comment as yourself by following these steps:

1. Go to More -> Community.

2. Find the visitor post that you want to comment on, and comment on it.

Creating a new post as yourself via the Facebook app is now possible on an iPhone and iPad! The steps are the same for either device. To do so, follow the steps as shown in this screenshot below:

1. Tap the small profile image on the bottom right of your screen.
2. Tap your profile.
3. Tap the Posts tab that shows up above all of your page’s posts.
4. Type your post and publish.

You could do step 3 first if you wanted to. To toggle back to your business page’s profile, just follow steps 1 and 2, but select your business profile.

The steps are the same as commenting on a company page’s post except that you have to tap on the Community tab.

If you don’t see the Community tab, you’ll have to scroll to the right by swiping.

Create a New Post or Comment on an Existing Post as Yourself from an Android Phone or Tablet

This isn’t possible from the Facebook Android app. The buggy Post Attribution section isn’t even available on the Facebook app for Android as you can see in the screenshot below.

To create a new post or comment on an existing post as yourself on a Facebook company page from an Android phone or tablet, you would have to go to the Facebook website and follow the instructions that I created above for a desktop computer.
