A Few Things to Consider
In many cases, it's best to keep your Facebook and Twitter accounts separate. These channels have different roles and reach different audiences, and you should tailor your content for each accordingly. But, there are exceptions to this guideline. For some companies, connecting Twitter and Facebook is a way to save time and resources while maximizing content exposure across all channels.
If this is your goal, decide whether you need to link your Twitter account to your Facebook page or your Facebook page to your Twitter account, then follow the necessary steps outlined above.
