Here is the latest on what has been driving all of us crazy! The changes Facebook is making to Pages.
The Lowdown
Facebook is featuring Photos, Videos, Reviews, etc. AT THE TOP OF YOUR NEWS FEED ON YOUR (BUSINESS) PAGE! They are also moving posts further down on your page … AND … The changes are rolling out and being changed at the same time! I don’t know about you, but the content in my posts are more important than pictures that I have posted on my business page. There is also a different look on desktop vs mobile!
QUICK FIX
Click on SETTINGS on the top right of your page and then on the left side click on EDIT. Look in the middle section and scroll down and you will see boxes with items like “About” “Pictures” “Posts”, etc. CLICK and drag “Posts” to the top and continue to arrange the boxes as you like them. You can also turn off the visibility of some of the boxes like “Events” by clicking on the right side of the box and sliding the “on” button to “off”.
You may also notice that Facebook is now offering Templates. These are a work in progress and the changes are so minor that I would suggest just using the boxes and managing your Tabs until something concrete changes.
It’s a lot! Contact me if you need any help or have any questions.
Here is a short article from Social Media Examiner for capturing the latest changes.
What’s New This Week
New Facebook Page Layout Rolls Out on Desktop: This Social Media Examiner noted the rollout of a new Facebook page layout for desktop users. The new layout features customizable sections in the middle column, new templates for different business types with various tab options, and an easier way to see and share the unique URL for each tab.
Business Manager users can update their Facebook page with the new layout by going to Settings, and then clicking on Edit Page. It appears that Facebook is still testing different features on various pages and has not yet rolled out these changes worldwide.
