Set a Custom Tab Name For Installed Facebook Apps

Good News! Facebook now allows you to set a custom tab name for installed Facebook apps. This puts the control into the hands of the page admin rather than the actual application.  Follow the simple steps below to change the link name (aka tab name) for an installed application.

1. While logged in as the page admin click the edit page option.

2. Choose the apps menu option located at the left of your Facebook page edit screen.

3. Locate the installed app and click “Edit Settings” for the installed app. This will pop up a window that allows you to change the tab name.

That’s all there is too it! FaceItPages Facebook page app installs the tab on your Facebook page with “Welcome” as the default tab name. Now with these easy steps you can change that Welcome tab name to anything you would like.

It would be great if there were a Pinterest icon available for the page in the last step!

Christy – Using the Pinterest logo would be a trademark violation but we do have a red pin icon that can be used for Pinterest.
