2. MUST notFacebook has put a number of restrictions on what you can use in your cover photo. Here are those restrictions:
Price or purchase info, such as “40% off” or “Download it at www...” is prohibitedContact info, such as web address, email, mailing address or other info intended for your Page’s About sectionReference to user interface elements, such as “Like” or “Share” or any other Facebook site featuresCalls to action, such as “Get it Now” and “Tell Your Friends”Space not meant for promotions, coupons or advertisementsCover photo should not be primarily text-based or infringe on anyone else’s copyright.

3. MUSTSince you can not use your cover photo as an advertisement (blatantly) for your organization you need to make sure you optimize your ABOUT section
- This means including your website, blog URL, contact information, email, etc., so that it shows up in the About section visible to the fans or guests of your page.

These next few slides simply show you how to edit your ABOUT section and what
happens when you change the category and type of business you are.

4. MUSTOptimize the 4 images that Facebook provides in the “App” area
Here are a few important pieces of information regarding these 4 boxes:
- Specs for thumbnail-111 x 74 (but these are increasing in April--stay tuned and we’ll let you know what and when)- Can not change the name, image or position of the Photos App. And, you can’t change the settings for the Videos, Notes, Likes or Events but you can move them around- Thumbnails can be switched around to make the three most strategic apps display on the first row.- Up to 12 Apps will be shown on your Page Timeline
(Note: Both Jeff and Chris can help you develop a strategy and create Apps for your Page. This includes contests, Fan Like Gate strategies, etc.)

5. MUSTAccess the Admin area to respond to Notifications, New Likes and set up all of your settings.
The KEY word is ENGAGEMENT. Yes, responding to Comments on your wall is important. But, so is acknowledging those who “LIKE” your page.
**TIP** - Review those who have recently liked your page and periodically click on their names and thank them for coming by, acknowledge something you
see on their page (i.e., personalize your interaction)
