Timeline for Facebook Business Pages
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Buffer
  • LinkedIn
I woke last Thursday to find Facebook had rolled out Timeline for Business Pages. Essentially the layout is much like Timeline for Profiles which I had already converted to so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed when they finally hit Pages. In no time, I received a flurry of emails, DMs, Facebook PMs from clients and contacts with queries and concerns about how the new Timeline might impact their Page. This post will cover some of the significant changes and resources which can assist you to make the transition for your Page. All Pages will automatically convert to Timeline on the 31 March, so best to start working on your Page now! I have to say, I am loving Timeline! The possibilities are endless and the layout is sophisticated.

Significant Changes

1. The most obvious is the new layout and the large space for a Cover Image which is a great opportunity to convey your business message.

2. Timeline is now the default landing when a Page is visited. So whilst a ‘welcome tab’ is still present it can no longer be made the default landing tab. The term “welcome tab” is now obsolete and all Apps are now featured ‘Tabs’.

3. The profile banner is also now condensed into a square profile picture which sits to the bottom left of the Cover Image.

4. You can rearrange the position of the App Tabs and add images and a call-to-action on some of the 3rd party installed or developer Apps.

You can check out how I have formatted the Interim Business Solutions Timeline Page with the above elements.

Resources

Due to the high volume of questions I’ve received, I decided to create a few video tutorials to point you in the right direction. One of the video tutorials can be viewed below – Your Timeline Facebook Page Admin Panel.
