Customize Your Facebook Page Tabs

 

Facebook pages are setup with several default tabs:

  • The Wall tab allows you (and optionally, your fans) to share content.
  • Your Info tab displays business information.
  • On the Photos tab, upload photos of your product, photos from company events, and more.
  • Create a discussion board on the “Discussions” tab.
  • Post your upcoming events on the “Events” tab.

There are also tabs available for Links, Notes, and Video. In addition, applications built by outside developers can have their own Page tab.

 
To Change Which Tabs Appear on your Page:

  1. Click "Edit Page" underneath your profile picture.
     
    Facebook Profile Picture for Business
     
  2. Scroll down to the Applications sections. Click "Application Settings" underneath each an application that you want to add or remove from your page's tabs.
     
    Facebook Application Settings
     
  3. On the window that appears, select if you want the application added on or removed from its own tab. (You can also select if you want it to appear on a "Boxes" tab of your page.) Click "Okay".
     
  4. Repeat for each application that you want to edit.

 
Select the Default Tab:

You can also choose which tab to set as the default view when users who aren't yet Fans arrive at Facebook Page:

  1. As above, click on "Edit Page" underneath the question mark graphic on the left.
     
  2. Click on "Edit" underneath "Wall Settings" and select the tab that you want to be the "Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else"

 
Facebook Page Tab Links:

Since each tab has its own URL (website address), you can choose which tab you want to link to from your website or blog, for your Facebook Ads, and for other off-site promotion. To retrieve the URL for a specific tab:

  1. As above, click on "Edit Page" underneath the question mark graphic on the left.
     
  2. Click on "Link to this Tab" underneath the name of the tab (application).
