Verify your Page and get an official check mark on your cover photo
If your business has a real world address, Facebook allows you to verify your
Page to adorn its cover photo with an official grey check mark - similar to the
blue one given to celebrities and other public figures. To verify your Page, visit
your Page Settings and choose Verify Page under the General menu. You’ll need
to confirm your business-representative status via a telephone call to a publicly
listed number for your business, or otherwise upload an official document,
e.g.
business phone or utility bill, business license, business tax file,
etc.
Verified
Pages appear higher in search results and show people at a glance that you are
the official brand Page for your company on Facebook, so it’s well worth doing.
Create an awesome cover photo and add a call-to-action button
Facebook Page cover photos are viewable by anyone on Facebook, so use the
space to effectively communicate your brand or message in one simple, high
quality, image. The ideal size is 851 × 315 pixels - any smaller and Facebook
will automatically stretch the image, making it appear blurry. Ideas for cover
photos include one powerful image that communicates who you are and what
you do, a collage of your products, highlighting an ongoing offer, or featuring a
photo or testimonial submitted by one of your own fans - the latter will really
"wow" your customer and hopefully they'll spread the word to their friends.
Keep users engaged by periodically updating your cover photo and profile pic -
once per month is a good target to aim for, but a seasonal change is popular
amongst brands, too.
Add a call to action, offers and links in the cover design and description
In December 2014, Facebook announced the roll out of solid, clickable call-to-
action buttons that can be added to cover photos, including "Book Now",
"Contact Us," "Use App. Designed as a way to bring your business’ most
important objective to the forefront of your Facebook presence, call-to-action
buttons can be linked to any destination on or off Facebook. Dollar Shave Club
used a "Sign Up" call-to-action cover photo button and saw a 2.5x higher
conversion rate over three weeks compared to other comparable efforts.
When you upload a cover photo, click on it and you will be able to edit it to add
a text description. Here, type a short, relevant blurb, then add in a call to action
and related links to your website, a product, an offer, a Page tab, or feature a
discount code as a reward for clicking. Many Facebook Page visitors click on
cover photos for a closer look, so use the description as a way to anchor the
photo and encourage them to take action. The description will also appear when
someone hovers their mouse cursor over the cover image - just another reason to
make the most of it. To encourage more clicks on your cover photo, you can try
experimenting with a "button" as part of your cover design with its own call to
action,
e.g.
"Get 10% off your next purchase with us - Click Here!"
Alternatively
(and to tempt the people who won't click on your Page's cover photo - call to
action or not ) - you might want to use it to let non-fans know what value there is
to them in "liking" your Page,
e.g.
Free DIY tips, daily dessert recipes, regular
parenting advice,
etc.
Every time a Facebook user "likes" your Page, a large part
of your cover image (along with your profile photo) will show in the News Feed
of that person's friends, inviting them to "like" the Page too, so do your best to
make the design as compelling and visually representative of your brand as
possible, even at a smaller size.
