Facebook allows you to change the settings for your tabs and add a picture. Please use the Facebook help for instructions how to do this.

If you entered a wrong number we will need to reset your account. Please open a support ticket with a link to your Facebook page. NOTE: Resetting accounts is an extra service for which we will need to charge a fee.
Note if you are using your own domain: Facebook will block the display if the page is not SSL secured. 

2 Mobile Devices

Currently Facebook does not show custom tabs on mobiles. We suggest you add a "Book Now" Call-to-Action button which will also display on mobile devices.

3 Track bookings

All bookings from Facebook have the referrer facebook.

For conversion tracking you an add the facebook tracking pixel image in your "on screen confirmation message". This will only show it after the booking is confirmed.

To offer a discount you can use the referrer discount in the "Discounts" tab of the rate. The referrer code to enter is facebook.
