Facebook: 30M small business pages, 19M manage via mobile

Facebook’s play to get small businesses onto the platform appears to be working. The company announced today that there are 30 million active small business pages.

Additionally, 19 million small business page owners on Facebook manage their page via mobile, Facebook announced at its Facebook Fit event in New York.

Facebook has been aggressively trying to get small businesses to not only set up a page, but advertise. Inside Facebook talked last year with Dan Levy, Facebook’s Director of Small Business, about the company’s plan to make the site more attractive for local businesses.
