If you would like your app to be published to Facebook on a tab, you can do this by customizing the Facebook settings. You just have to specify your fan page, name of your tab, your tab app logo 111x74 image and an icon underneath:

 

The third set of settings is the Promotion Tools, helping you to prepare social sharing for the app. It has 4 sub-settings namely Social Sharing Options, Blog/Web Callout Tool, Post Planning and Comment System.

Let's start with the Social Sharing Options. This enables your app to be shared to various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. You can edit the position of the Social Sharing tools to display at top, bottom

of app, or both locations.  

As Admin, you can control the Facebook Share message and pre-populate the recommended Tweet and G+ share.  Simply enter in your title and description as well as a custom image at size noted of 600 x 315. This will share the best size image in the social network selected.

 

You can create your own promotional call-out image in a form of an automatically-generated embed code. Then, you can place it to your  blog or any website through the use of the Blog/Web Callout Tool. When clicked by site visitors, it will forward them to a tab on your Facebook page:

 

The third sub-setting is the Post Planning. You can schedule your posts in different social networks with the use of Buffer, Sendible or Hootsuite. Before clicking one of these services, see to it that you have saved your page first. When posting, the URL displayed is the SMART URL. It will forward them to your created tab on Facebook  (also applies to mobile users):

 

The Comment System is the fourth sub-setting of the Promotion Tools. This is an optional setting. Once you checked the "Enable Comment System"box, additional options will show up such as "Allow visitors to sign-in to comment via Facebook or Form", "Comment Notification Emails" and "Require Comment Approval. You can then save all the changes by clicking the Manage Comments button below:

Another feature to help you with marketing is to implement remarketing pixels!  We have a Pixel Tracking code area for Facebook and/ or Google Ads.  By installing the pixel code from those services, you are then able to target visitors to your promotion back on that service with ads.  Simply paste the pixel tracking code that they provide.

 

The Language settings allows you to customize your app's language. It consist of 2 sub-settings namely General and Comment System and enables you to replace the default English with text/language of your choice.

The Analytics section is composed of multiple graphs of the Image App. It consists of Overview, Facebook Views, Web Views, Mobile Views, Microsite Views, Shares and Likes, giving you information on what the impact of the app traffic has been and from where.

Overview

 

Landing Pages are a powerful feature allowing you to create lead capture pages using any app. 

Create your own landing page directory name for your use on any landing pages.  You create a name specific to your business such as https://tabsite.com/mybusiness/summerpromo(where "mybusiness" is your business name and the landing page is "summerpromo".) 

Landing pages are the perfect area to drive traffic to in order to create more leads.  Any app can have a Landing Page.  

You may also change the title and header font color. 

We give you the option to place the Pixel Tracking code for Facebook Ad's and/or Google Ad's on your landing page.  This allows you to retarget/remarket to visitors via ads on those services.
