Facebook Page Tab: How to add

How to add a Facebook Page Tab to your facebook page?  On the top of your facebook page (under the header) are a number of tabs which makes navigation easy for visitors to your page.  If you wanted a facebook page tab that links to your blog or to your online store, this is a how to on how to do just that.

I will be using the Woobox Custom Tab (facebook app).  You can use the link provided or you can do a search for “Woobox Custom Tab” in your facebook search box.

Tip:

Once you have done your search, if you click your mouse in the search box again, you will see additional search options, namely “apps similar to woobox custom tab”.  Click on that to see a selection of other similar apps that you could use instead.

 

How to Install Facebook Page Tab

Once you have searched for and/or found Woobox Custom Tab, click the “Install Page Tab” shown on the page.

On the next screen use the drop-down arrow to choose your facebook page on which you would like to install the Facebook Page Tab.  Then click the “Add Page Tab” button.

You will then be returned to your Facebook page.  By default, a “Welcome” tab will now appear amongst your page tabs.  You can follow the on-screen instructions to configure the page tab to your satisfaction.

If you are a first time user of this app, you may be asked to give permission to the app.  It is the normal routine.  Once you have given permission, you will be taken to your Woobox admin page where you can perform all kinds of administrative functions.

Let’s look at some of the basics to configure your new facebook page tab.

What happens when a visitor clicks on your page tab?

You can decide if you want to create content in Facebook itself (i.e. write up something using HTML), or Redirect users to a specific URL, or pull in content from a specific URL (which will be inserted in an iFrame and so visitor does not have to leave your Facebook page), or insert an Image.
