How to List a Facebook Group on Togather's Public Directory
Publish a public Facebook Group listing on Togather — correct group URL, field guide, moderator review, and how detail helps people decide before they request to join.
Why list your Facebook Group on Togather
Facebook Groups still run huge alumni circles, local swap markets, and hobby chats — but Facebook's own search buries most of them. A Togather listing gives your group a page that search engines and category browsers can actually find.
Start on Submit a listing, choose Facebook Group, and keep this guide open while you fill each field. You can also browse the live Facebook Group platform page to see how approved listings look once published.
Facebook Groups thrive on clarity. Answer “who is this for” before anyone clicks Join.
Who should submit a Facebook Group
Admins of a public (or openly joinable) Facebook Group who are authorized to share the group link outside Facebook.
If you are not allowed to share the link publicly, do not submit it — unauthorized listings waste moderator time and may be removed under our Disclaimer.
Correct Facebook Group link format
Use `facebook.com/groups/…` with the group's name or numeric ID. Secret groups that outsiders can't even view will be rejected.

Every submit field explained for a Facebook Group
| Field | What to enter for your Facebook Group | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Select Facebook Group from the dropdown | Confirms invite/URL validation rules |
| Category | Closest topical fit (Education, Jobs, Gaming, Business, …) | Powers category pages and Explore |
| Name | Real public name, e.g. "Bangalore Indie Film Meetup" | Shown on cards and in search results |
| Official link | Public Facebook Group URL only, no shorteners | Reviewers must be able to open it directly |
| Short description | 1–2 honest lines, under 300 characters | Appears on cards and search snippets |
| Full details (optional but important) | Longer write-up: who it's for, what happens inside, tone | Helps a real person decide before joining |
| Community rules | One rule per line | Sets expectations from the first click |
| Group policies | How moderation and enforcement actually work | Signals a maintained, serious Facebook Group |
| Tags | Up to 8 relevant keywords | Improves matching on the Groups search |
| Language | Primary language used | Filters out mismatched visitors early |
| Country | Region the Facebook Group mainly serves | Helps geo-relevant discovery |
| Your name, phone, email | Accurate contact details | Used for moderation and abuse prevention |
| CAPTCHA + agreement | Required before sending | Blocks automated and bot spam |
Example short description
Public Facebook Group for indie film screenings and crew networking in Bengaluru.
Example Full details (write longer than this if you can)
Monthly screening announcements, crew calls, and respectful critique threads.
Rules:
- No piracy links
- No harassment of cast/crew
- Event posts must include venue and time
Ideal for filmmakers, editors, and cinephiles in Bangalore.
Why longer Full details wins
The short description is a billboard. Full details is the brochure. Someone comparing several Facebook Group listings will open the one that answers who it's for, what actually happens inside, what gets a member removed, and whether there are join requirements like age, city, or skill level. A longer, specific write-up also helps our admin team approve faster, because intent is obvious — thin, generic text ("best Facebook Group ever, join now") reads like spam even when the link itself is real.

What happens after you click Submit
Togather does not auto-publish anything. Every Facebook Group submission enters a moderation queue where our admin team inspects the link, name, category, and both descriptions before it goes live. We approve only listings that are valid, public, and non-harmful — everything else stays hidden or gets rejected.
For the broader flow, read how submission and moderation works, then see how the two-step safe redirect protects visitors after approval.
What gets rejected — and when contacts get blocked
We reject listings that include or promote antinational or extremist content, harassment, bullying, doxxing, adult or sexual content outside our policies, scams, fraud, fake jobs, or “guaranteed profit” schemes. If a Facebook Group submission crosses these lines, the email address and phone number attached to it can be permanently blocked from submitting again.
Practical tips unique to Facebook Group
- Mention city/region — Facebook Groups are often local.
- Explain any membership questions you use before approving requests.
- Call out buy/sell rules clearly if the group allows commerce.
- Keep the title human-readable, not stuffed with keywords.

Final checklist before you submit
- The Facebook Group link opens for a stranger, not just existing members.
- Platform dropdown is set exactly to Facebook Group.
- Name and short description are specific, not generic marketing copy.
- Full details are long enough for a newcomer to decide in about 30 seconds.
- Rules and policies match what you actually enforce.
- No antinational, abusive, adult, or scam content anywhere in the listing.
- Contact details are accurate — blocks are permanent headaches.
When you're ready, open Submit and list your Facebook Group the careful way.
