Our Favorite Facebook Business Page Updates Are…
Here are some of our favorite updates:
- More visibility for cover photos (making them a great spot to feature announcements and special events!)
- More prominent placement of call to action features
The first thing that you’ll likely notice is the new look and feel. The large, unobstructed cover photo has AMAZING marketing potential to show off new products, special offers, contests, and more.
We are also very excited about the call to action features being more prominent. We love ANYTHING that brings attention to things that will engage existing and potential clients!
Tag People and Businesses
On another note regarding Facebook: A question we get frequently from our clients is, “Can I tag individuals and businesses in posts on my Facebook business page?” At this point, the answer is YES.
While the answer to this question has changed from time to time, we wanted to include a link to Facebook’s latest standards for this. Click here for direct access to the answer to their help center.
