Complete your page information
Always keep in mind to fill in completely, all the basic details about your business. The audience needs all the relevant information about your business and if you fail to provide it to them, it causes a lack of trust and the audience starts searching for alternatives.
Carefully study and understand which filed requires what answers to be filled. For example: the ‘short description’ field needs a one line answer which acts as your business tagline. So don’t try to fit in your entire story here as there’s a separate column for it.
This helps you in showcasing what your brand stands for and gives your audience a chance to get associated with you even outside of Facebook.
Manage the tabs wisely
Facebook allows you to display a number of tabs under the cover photo of your business page. They can be ‘likes’,’reviews’,’photos’,’videos’ and much more. You also have the liberty to organize the tabs as per your need and priority.
If you have any apps in the tab section, that you don’t use anymore, go get rid of it and give your business page a new look which totally resonates with the business’ personality. Remember to keep only relevant tabs that the user is most likely to click.
