Creating a Facebook page for your business Part 1 2012
Following on from Ross's excellent suggestion earlier in this thread I added a tab to my page with my PIMS availability on it using the iframewrapper app.

If you want the wide multi-property calendar from PIMS to show without scrolling you have to play about with the iframe code width parameters a bit. (Thanks Richard for that suggestion)
I can PM my changes to anyone who is interested.

Lorca - I added the extra Welcome pages using the MyTab app. The Welcome page is what is called a Like Gate as it displays differently depending on whether ypu have already liked the page or not. "Gate" is probably the wrong word though as you can still see the Wall without Liking the page.
I put some instructions up in a thread about adding a Facebook Landing Page

Read past the first posts as I had several attempts before settling on a satisfactory method.
Alternatively just go here to see the blog post I wrote about it.

The calendar I added using a different app, iFramewrapper, but with hindsight I could probably have added the iFrame to another instance of the MyTab app as well.
If it's all Greek/geek to you then I can probably talk you through it step by step.

I assume it needs to be a business page in the first place. Go to that page, see recommendations in top right column, and then you can write a recommendation. I also see that pages people have liked appear in my recommendations (which takes us back to the benefits of liking). When I click "see all" on the recommendations it brings up several categories which are "Music,Movies,Television,People,Brands & Products,Companies & Organizations." Now it doesn't always appear - I just had to click on and off my page a couple of times to bring the recommendations column back.lorca wrote:
Nemo - how do you do the recommend thing?
But - it doesn't appear to cater for local business or place pages? KC for example has a page that is in the company/organisation category so he could appear there. As for the rest of us - no idea! Oh if only we knew what we were doing!

Love is all around...I've caught up on all my likes with GG, Margaret, Kitkat, Wallypott, KC, Lorca and Windy now duly added. If there's anyone else I've missed feel free to give me a nudge (or should I say a poke!). I'll keep monitoring this incredibly useful thread so if anyone else wants to come to the party by posting their FB url then I'll be very happy to like them too. I'll get to the magic 25 yet!
We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars

I just searched for the MyTab app and found it. Great. It says I can only download it using my personal profile, so does that have any effect on when I come to use it from my business page?
I find it hard to "like" from my business pages, as it keeps taking me back to my personal profile, but I'm learning to keep an eye on the top bar which shows which user I am at any given moment, so I shall try and do the "like" fest shortly!

I think to some extent, yes... if you search for a particular search term, and look at the results from 'Pages', I think it tends to throw up first those pages with more 'likes' (to some extent, at least).Windy wrote:I wonder if FB gives more weight to your page in terms of presenting your output to more people if you have more likes ???
However, for your output to appear in more people's feeds, I would guess you need to be looking more at the 'number of people talking about this page' figure, or that it at least depends in part on how many regularly look at your page (as opposed to having just 'liked' it in the past). But all this is just speculation on my part... not based on hard fact.

With the risk of missing out on something (and feeling unliked ) Here's mine - I think I've liked everyone that has passed before me

Done Caroline (and I like very much - as I do them all actually )! I have just done the rounds of liking the links put on this thread, so if I have missed anyone, just post your link here or send me a PM.
Thanks everyone for all the help so far. For those that don't have the 25 likes needed to claim their name, then try anyway, especially if there's been a lot of activity as now. I was only at 20 or so and claimed mine. With the likes rushing in so thick and fast FB clearly thought I was hot news!
It's well worth claiming your user name as then you have a short url with no numbers in, so go for it everyone who hasn't already.
