Custom Facebook Pages

Do you want to setup an amazing Facebook page that stands out from the crowd and attracts visitors and fans? You don’t always need a custom application for your Facebook fan page to look spectacular. You can save yourself time and money by using the Static FBML application instead.

Static FBML allows you to have a custom tab or profile box with a specific promotion or branded look and feel. You do not have to be a programmer to create a static FBML page. You start by adding an application put out by Facebook called “Static FBML”. It allows you to create custom HTML boxes in those same places that you can completely design and brand to your liking.

Here are a few of our Facebook pages built as Static FBML:

The general rule of thumb is that if you don’t actually need to use any scripted languages like PHP or ASP, and you don’t need to access the API to get the user’s information for any reason, you probably don’t actually need an application. We’re just displaying a nice background image and some thumbnails that link out.

The end result is a beautifully designed and branded tab or box that looks exactly the way you want it to look. When you need to update the content, just login to Facebook and make your changes in the Static FBML box.

If you’re not accessing the API and you’re not doing anything fancy, Static FBML will usually cut it. Also bear in mind that you can use Mock Ajax and FBJS in these boxes, so you could actually have a fairly dynamic tab/box, including expandable onclick elements, etc without an application.

Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Facebook Page.

• Pages allow a business to “Publish to the Stream” (this shows up on your fans homepage)
• Pages allow a business to engage fans with Rich Media (video, pictures, events)
• Pages let a business analyze how fans are interacting with the Insights Dashboard (deep analytics)
• Pages let a business increase SEO (pages are indexed by search engines and show up in higher Google keyword searches)

Facebook as a Marketing Tool

Fan Conversion

When a visitor arrives at your Page you have just seconds to convert them to a Fan (LIKE). If they don’t push that  button you’ve probably lost them forever.

If they do, they have just given you permission to market to them in Facebook.

The best way to do this is with a visually engaging Landing Tab.

No matter how they came to your page (via Google Search, or a Facebook Link) we can mandate they go to a particular tab first, ourCustom Facebook Landing Tab!

SEO

A Facebook Page is indexed by all the major search engines.

It can have an actual PageRank.

That’s why it’s also important to create a tab that is rich in your keywords and links.

This acts like a magnet attracting visitors from various search engines as well as providing valuable content.
