When Facebook first came out with their larger cover images they had a rule that you couldn’t put any text in them. Specifically, no prices, no calls to action, no asking for “likes”, or messages about purchasing information. Frustrating to say the least, when the whole point of a fan page is to tell the world about your stuff.
They’ve recently changed that rule, in the usual Facebook fashion—without telling anyone.
Now you can include text, but the text can only be 20% of that image. How can you tell if you meet the requirement? Easy. Just use this Facebook Cover Compliance Tool created by Paavo Schmid. Go ahead, try it here below and see if your cover image measures up. Just paste your fan page URL into the ID field and click the check mark. Then click on each box that has text showing in it. The app will show you your results.
