How to Connect a QR Code to a Facebook Page

Facebook has billions of users, pages, and communities. While there are no shortage of destinations on Facebook, how easy is it for you to connect someone to a Facebook page. Try using QR code technology to connect people to Facebook pages.

Can a QR code be linked to Facebook?

You can link a QR code to a Facebook post, profile, group, or business page. If you want to link a QR code to a specific Facebook post, you’ll want to make sure that the post is hosted on a public profile to ensure all of your scanners and access the content linked to your code.

QR codes are a quick and seamless way to direct traffic to your Facebook profile, group, or business page. Boost engagement by replacing a long and complicated URL with a QR code to allow your audience to scan and land on your page in 5 seconds or less. Creating a QR code for your Facebook also allows you to view and measure scan traffic through Flowcode’s real-time analytics. For example, QR code analytics can inform a more efficient posting schedule since you can view the most popular days of the week and hours of the day that your audience is landing on your page.
