Facebook’s policies state that cover photos CANNOT include:Price or purchase informationContact informationReferences to Facebook features or actionsCalls‐to‐action 

Covers must not be false/ deceptive or misleading and must not infringe on third parties’ intellectual property. 

Profile Picture:

Adjust your profile picture, the image that will get shown next to each of your updates on your wall and on users’ news feeds.  Choose an image that fits 180 x 180 pixels and also looks good when scaled down to the thumbnail size of 32 x 32 pixels.

This image will also appear with any sponsored stories or ads that you run.  A logo is a great choice here.

The new design features photos, likes, and apps at the top of your page, below your cover photo.  Photos are automatically featured in the first space, but page admins can rearrange the rest to feature the most important ones first.  Overall, a total of 12 apps can be shown here. App graphics are 111 x 74 pixels.

Highlight, Pin & Hide

By hovering over individual stories, you can make them wider, hide them from your Timeline with the pencil icon, highlight them as important with the star icon, or delete them entirely.

You can pin/anchor a specific story to the top of your Timeline for up to seven days.  This means you can highlight specific posts and they wont get buried by more recent updates.

Enable messages:\

Admins can allow users to send them personal messages, making it easier for brands to have private conversations with fans.  Use this feature when you need to discuss a topic or customer service issue in more depth, and when you would prefer the conversation not to be made public for all page visitors to see.

Feature Milestones:

Facebook allows admins to feature what are called “Milestones” on  their page.  This allows admins to highlight some of their businesses’ biggest accomplishments, such as fan growth, award wins, product releases, etc. 

Milestone images are set at 843 x 403 pixels.  You create a new (or past) milestone via the status updates box, which will prompt you to input information about your milestone.

#1: PUBLISH VISUAL CONTENT

The Timeline page design places more emphasis on visual content like images and videos, so use that to your advantage,  According to CEO Mark Zuckerburg, 

“50% of news feed content is photos & visual content.”

Because these images now appear larger and prominently on your page, make a point of posting your best visual content.  Think of visual pleasing messages: such as e‐books, coupons, webinars, free gifts, applications, etc. photos, charts, info graphics…

Some photo examples include:  employees, customers, events, marketing content and contests.
