New Rules for FB Timeline for Businesses

3/20/2012

Reminder: Just 10 days left until all Facebook pages are converted to the new Timeline! Have you made the change yet? Many small businesses (including Wise Penny!) have already made the switch.

With the new, big "cover photo" opportunities, there's a lot of room to get creative. However, Facebook has also put together some important guidelines about what can and can't be included. Here are some key things you and/or your graphic designer should keep in mind for your cover photo or image:

  • The maximum cover photo/image size is 850 (w) x 315 (h) pixels
  • Your profile image size (often your company logo) should be 180 x 180 pixels
  • Facebook states that your cover photo is not an advertisement and cannot include price(s), offers or information such as "20% off sale this week only."
  • You can't include your web address, email, or other contact info in the cover image.
  • You can't ask visitors to  "Like" or "Share" your page in your cover image (this includes having an arrow pointing from the cover photo to these options).
  • You can't include any calls-to-action, such as "Buy now" or "Visit our website for a special offer."
    ​

Other than that, the sky's the limit!
