Which would you build today for a business - a Facebook page or a group? I've been seeing much better enagement in groups lately.

Only use personal profile with professional mode, this will give you extra boos of organic reach, the others not, a page will only work when you do paying for ads. Groups are great -but first you need that profile with professional mode to get likes, followers, then invite them into your group you can monetize.
 
If you're building a Facebook page for a business, it's more effective in terms of communication and has higher credibility than a Facebook group. Building a Facebook page is more difficult than building a Facebook group; you need to work on content and showcase many aspects of the business to increase trust and attract viewers and attention.
 
I’d go with a group. Pages are good for visibility, but groups usually get more interaction and feel more personal. If you’re building a community, I think a group makes more sense.

In my point of view, you should build page first, then transfer traffic to group for a better way maintain community

Just skip pages altogether. Nobody cares about a business page feed but can create a community with groups and send offers right in the chat.
 
pages can help with reach but groups usually bring more real interaction and feel more personal.if the goal is to build an active community then i would lean more toward groups
 
if the business has something people naturally discuss then i'd definitely test a group otherwise it can become another empty channel to manage.

In terms of algorithm Reach and engagement, a Facebook page is far superior to a group while both are important for your strategy. then Facebook page is the best choice if your primary goal is to achieve High engagement and build a global customer base.
 
I'd probably start with a Page and use a Group alongside it if there's enough community interest.
Groups can get better engagement, but Pages are still useful for the business itself. They serve different purposes.
 
For a business I would use both, a page is better for brand visibility while a group can help build a stronger community and get more engagement.
 
For businesses, I always choose a Facebook Page because it’s easier to manage and control. Groups can be much more difficult to control when it comes to the content being posted.
 
Your first preference should be Pages - no second thoughts!

Make sure you keep the space updated. For local businesses, fb pages still generate a good number of leads.

If you choose to build it manually, it’s a Group; if you choose rapid growth through advertising, it’s a Page.
 
Create the Page as the official platform first, then use that Page to create and manage an affiliated Group. Use the Page to reach strangers and direct them into the Group to build deeper engagement.
 
pages are good for getting more reach but groups usually get people talking more and feel less like a broadcast if the main goal is an active community then groups make more sense to me
