Confused about how to change the positions of the apps you have installed on your Facebook business page? Hope this is helpful:
You are allowed to install up to 12 apps on your Facebook business page.
When a visitor comes to your page, only the top 4 tabs are immediately visible under your cover photo. The remainder are hidden until clicked.
While the ‘Photos’ tab will always appear first, you can adjust the order of the rest of your tabs.
First thing you need to do is choose which 3 apps are the most important for your visitors to see when they come to your page.
- If you have applied marketing apps to your Facebook page (e.g. Store, Giveaway etc), keep these on top
- If you are trying 2-3 different stores to see which works best for you, make sure you have them all visible. Visitors will rarely click to view hidden tabs, so you won’t get a fair comparison if 1-2 are visible and the rest are hidden.
To change the order of your apps:
1. Click on the downward arrow on the right side of your visible apps (do this even if you don’t have any hidden tabs)
2. Place your mouse on the app you want to move
3. A small ‘pencil’ icon will appear on the top right hand corner of the app
4. Click on the pencil icon
5. A drop down menu will appear including the option to ‘swap position with’ any of your other apps.
6. Choose the app you want to change positions with.
And you're done!
