Late last week, Facebook released a new version of its Questions Tool. Soon after that it began rolling out the feature to Facebook Pages.
The cool thing about Facebook Questions is that it gives chiropractors the ability to quickly survey fans, potential patients, as well as current patients on multiple things related to chiropractic, general health, et ceteraβ¦
As Facebook says, “Learn from your friends, see where people stand, and share what you know.”
Also, by creating quick polls, you can gather information quickly that’ll help you, for example, refine certain marketing campaigns, determine the benefits of participating in upcoming community events, and other scenarios that’ll potentially affect your business’s bottom line.
But, to take advantage of this new feature, you need to add Questions to your chiropractic Facebook Page. Here’s how β¦
Step One
Login to your Facebook account, click on the Account tab found in the upper right-hand corner, and select “Use Facebook as Page”.
If you haven’t created a Facebook Page for your chiropractic practice yet, then please read How to Create a Facebook Fan Page for Your Chiropractic Practice.
Step Two
Select the Facebook Page you want to switch to by clicking on the “Switch” button.
Step Three
Open another tab within your browser and go to http://www.facebook.com/questions.
Once there, click on the “Get Questions Now” button as shown in the following image:
Once done, you’ll see the following popup prompt:
Step Four
Go back to your chiropractic Facebook Page and you should immediately see “Questions”. If you don’t, simply click on “Questions” located within the left sidebar and it’ll load the correct page.
Step Five
Ask a question so that you can learn from your fans and others.
You can also customize your question even more by selecting multiple options.
After you ask your question, it’ll be posted directly to your Facebook Page’s wall and should look something like this:
That’s all there is to it.
Another nice feature of Facebook Questions is the ability to lookup past questions through its archives. This way you can always go back to individual questions and review the results simply by clicking on its icon that’s located in the left-hand sidebar.
Question (no pun intended): Do you plan on implementing this new feature on your chiropractic Facebook Page? If so, how?

Awesome! Thanks for a great tutorial. Just asked the first set of questions on my page. I am sure you will choose number #2 π
Glad this helped, Dr. Burt. And, yes, I answered #2 for you. π
Thanks, I am glad you did not pick pain killers π
By the way did you see Dynamic Chiropractic Practice Insights April 2011 issue on page 31 someone mentioned your name.
No I didn’t but will look for it. Actually, I don’t think it’s arrived in my mailbox yet. Is there an online link I can view? If not, no worries.
I GREATLY appreciate whatever you said. π
When we meet face-to-face one day, your kind words will be worth a steak dinner. Deal?
No, online issue is not available yet. Only printed version. I will take the dinner deal π LOL
Sweet! It worked like a charm…off to update all of my fan pages! Thank you so much for the awesome post. I’ve already posted questions, can’t wait to see what comes in.
You’re welcome, Cindi. I’m sure it’ll work well for you and Dr. Beck. Keep pushing chiropractic forward!
Hi
I just found your topics and find them very interesting. I am interested in doing this to my page but I have a question. I have a personal Facebook account that patients do not have access and that is closed unless I accept them and then I admin my clinic page. When I pressed the switch button it brought me to the question page but my personal page was gone. So I went to account and it asked me to switch back to my personal page. Is it something you do once in a while when you want to ask a question and you can go back to your other set up. I just would not want to loose my personal facebook page. I don’t know if it makes sense but if it does let me know
thanks so much

Dr. Lavigne,
What you’re referring to is the ability to visit pages and profiles as either a person or company/brand. This new feature will not delete your personal profile. You’d have to go through your account settings to accomplish this. So, no worries.
Thanks for visiting Next Generation Chiropractor. I do appreciate it!
