FB GROUP VS PAGES

Essentially, Groups are more like a private club or networking group. Pages are meant to be promoting a certain product/service/brand/celebrity.
Here’s a table drew up that displays some of the differences:
 PageGroup
PurposeRepresent particular person or brandCollaborative environment for group of people
RestrictionsPublic or admin-onlyPublic, closed (visible but must request to be added) or secret (cannot be found by search or any other means)
Add peopleNo (can suggest page)Yes – only those who are Facebook friends of Group members
Facebook Notifications for fans/membersOnly if someone comments on/likes the post you have made or commented on.Default: FB notifications (and potentially email) for all new wall posts (by anyone) – can be changed.

Group/Page email addressNoYes – this means the group members have access to a group email address that when used sends content directly to the Group wall.

Vanity URLYes – you can chooseNo – though it is a logical URL determined by Group name. Eg. www.facebook.com/groups/groupname although sometimes it may have a string of numbers at the end.

NotesAnyone can search, find and join a Page unless it is set to admin-only. Admins have the ability to delete/ban people.Anyone who is a member can add another member. This can lead to groups getting out of control. However admins are able to delete/ban people from the group.
