Prep Step: Navigate to Josh's profile (https://www.facebook.com/JoshDavis01/), and add him as a friend.  This will make it easier to find him when you are looking to add him to your page. 

Step 1: Go to facebook.com

Step 2: Login with your personal Facebook credentials.

Step 4: Continue scrolling scroll down until you find the "Pages" option pictured below, and click that.  

Note: If you are unable to find Pages by following this step, you can also click on your profile image on the top right-hand side of the screen: 

And if you are navigating to it via this method, your company page would show up in a drop down like so (instead of how it's displayed in the next step, Step 5). 


Step 5: Viewing the Pages / Profiles will show a list of what you have access to, you'll want to find the appropriate Page / Profile and click on the company name associated with it. 

Your page can look one of two ways. Either way, simply click the the company name and continue following the steps:  

(Older Facebook page via the old Pages experience)

(Newer Facebook page via the new Pages experience)

 

 

Step 5.5: If you have a newer, page you may see this in the profile once you click on the page, you may see this notice: 

If you see this notice, you have a new Facebook Page account and you need to skip ahead to Step 6B.
