If so, you need to stop thinking and take action now before Facebook make changes on March 10th. Facebook are changing the way tabs work on business pages by gradually phasing out FBML(Facebook mark up language) and using iFrames(the website code which builds the tabs) After the 10th March , even if you have Pages you will not be able to add tabs as easily as you can now. From the information available so far, we are not sure whether you’ll still be able to add custom tabs, this will mean, no more Welcome tabs, Newsletter sign up and Special offers tabs.

At the moment existing Facebook business pages with existing custom tabs (built with FBML) can still be edited. If you have been procrastinating about getting Facebook pages for your business you need to stop and take action now before Facebook introduce this change. With only just over two weeks left of the FBML style Facebook and pages taking a few days to build, make that decision and contact us now to get your Facebook business pages.

As one of the largest social networks with 500 million users worldwide, Facebook now directs more web traffic than Google. It shares and finds more weblinks, providing an incredible platform to advertise your business. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to spread the word about you and your company.

We can set up your Facebook Business page or fix existing ones. For those ready to take action and get ahead of the last minute rush we will install Google Analytics on two of your Facebook Business pages at no extra cost.
