![How To Add Milestones To Your Facebook Business Timeline [Tutorial]](https://spiderworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/milestonestitle.png)
Facebook milestones allow you to tell the story of your business. If you have a business full of history like the Malton Hotel in Killarney telling your story with Milestones on your Facebook business page is easy. Their building is 150 years old and I love the way they have linked to more information on each milestone to their website.
You don’t have to be a historic business to include milestones. You can include photos from your opening day, celebrate your first employee or talk about an event you have run or an award you have won.
When you share your milestones you can keep the storytelling going. Share one a day over a period of time. This way your page Likers will become involved in your story as it unravels.
Here’s how to add Milestones to your Facebook business timeline.
Note: You can only add milestones back as far as the start date you set for your business on your page.
If you want to change the start date for your page click on ‘Edit page’ at the top of your page. Choose ‘Update page info’ from the drop down menu and ‘edit’ next to ‘founded’.

How do you change the date on a milestone. Not my founding one, one after that. It has the wrong year and I see no pencil to change it 🙁
Hi Tia, If you hover your curser over the milestone a down arrow will appear on the top right hand side. Click on that and choose edit from the drop down menu:
I have read several of your articles now. You have very good ideas and a very good writer. Well done!
Hello, You start the video explaining how milestones are a good feature that very old businesses can use to highlight past events and and show an old hotel with an 1890’s milestone. However, in your example, when you go to assign the date, the only years available for selecting are from the year your page was created onward.
How do you post a milestone, and have it show up on your timeline, that predates your Facebook page creation date?
Hi, you need to go into your settings and change the start date of your business or set your first milestone the ‘founded’ one for the date you want to relate back to.
Perfect! Thank you so much.
Hey Amanda – great video, thank you!
I just set up my milestone (https://www.facebook.com/LiveLoveFck) and I would like to advertise it..
Do you know if this is possible too?
Thanks 🙂
