Facebook recently changed their layout for business pages and after talking to many businesses in Wichita, here are the 7 most important changes you need to know about the new layout.
Click the picture below to see what we’re talking about.
(Clockwise from top)
1. Edit Page
The area where you go into the back side of the page has changed to the right side of the page. There area also some really new things under the “Edit Page” tab that you need to know. Stuff like:
- “Your Settings” You can now be alerted when somebody interacts with the Page! That’s huge news! You can have your email buzzed anytime somebody posts or comments on the page.
- “Managed Permissions” Worries about bad words? No problem. You can now include a “Moderation Blocklist” and “Profanity Blocklist” to make sure nothing nasty shows up on the page. You can also now delete a page if you’d like on this tab.
- ” Basic Information” You can now change the Category of your business Page. If you want a Facebook URL like facebook.com/jugglemedia, you can do that there. If your business has less than 100 fans, you can also CHANGE THE NAME OF THE PAGE! YES!
- “Profile Picture” This is where you can upload a profile picture to your Page. They can be up to 200 x 600 px and you can choose your thumbnail.That’s not really new, but we wanted you to know.
- “Featured” Here is where you can choose up to 5 pages that your business specifically “likes.” These could be clients, organizations you belong, other partners and pages like that. There’s also now a “Page Owner” area so if you choose you can show what personal profile owns the page.
- “Marketing” is a great tab to get into the Ads manager, Get a Facebook badge to put on your website as well as other important info to market your page to others.
- “Manage Admins” is important so you can add other people to help you promote your Page. Like, say JuggleMedia. Hint, hint!
- “Apps” are basically the guts of your Page. These are all the add-ons like Landing Tabs, Video and Discussions. Anything that used to be a “Tab” is now an “App.”
- “Mobile” is HUGE for business owners! Each Facebook Page has a mobile email address that you can email a picture and video to the Page and it’ll show up on the Wall! It’s not a new function, but something we wanted to share with you.
- “Insights” Who’s doing what on your page? How many people interacted on your page this week? Is your Page growing? Here’s where you find out.
2. Use Facebook as your Business
This is a really good idea for business owners around Wichita to actually interact on other business Pages on Facebook. Basically, by clicking “Use Facebook as______,” one could do a tremendous amount of networking. Watch this screencast we did here.
3. New Wall
ATTENTION! This is actually a pain. Now, the most important (as in, commented or interactions) stories on the Wall are at the top, not in chronological order. We believe this is a huge pain and will go back to the way it was. Soon…
4. Page Owners
If you want people to know who owns the page, you can now tell it to show who. Like JuggleMedia’s.
5. Tabs
Bye bye Tabs, Hello information being lost under the picture. We say it’s a bummer as it gets lost, but it does make the Page prettier. Ask us about Custom Landing Tabs and all that fun stuff. It’s important to help your fanbase grow!
6. Page Picture Size
We’ve seen reports that the size is now 180 x 540 but none of the Pages we own/manage have changed, so we are sticking to 200 x 600 pixel size on these images.
7. Featured Pictures
Jury is still out on whether we like this new function yet or not. Here’s the good, if used correctly (like we do?:)) a business can actually make these links to their website and what they do. Ours, for example link you to our site and some of the things we do.
Here’s what’s bad, each time you refresh the Page, they move around. Also, the size you see is small, but when you click on it, they pictures are huge. Therefore designing something really cool is difficult. If you decided to get creative, show us!
So, that’s where we are. There’s a bunch of other changes and we’re sure you have questions, so feel free to contact us at 747.9266 or email our CEO Ryan at rcole@jugglemedia.com. Of COURSE we’d love to have you as a fan on our Facebook Page as we try to help you with all this social media right here in Wichita Kansas the best we can. If you’re not interested, don’t like us. We don’t want you to “hide” us. Very sad:(
Enjoy your day!
