Is it a good idea to add a FAQ tab to my Facebook page?

With many organisations continuously asked the same questions from visitors to their Facebook page, why not create a FAQ tab. Before you start, ask yourself, will this FAQ tab improve my visitors’ experience? Will it help people understand more about our business? Will it be useful?

Once decided, here are three ways to include an FAQ section on your page:

  1. Using the discussion board application
  2. Use an application called FAQ
  3. Use an FBML tab (you need to know some coding for this one so number 1 or 2 might be best)

    I really like the information you are posting. It is practical, good advice especially for novices like me. I really like the information recently on Facebook and Linkedin especially. Congratulations on what you are doing here I think it can be of great value to employees of organisations generally. It is how it is marketed there and then derive an income.
