What should a business put on its Facebook cover photo?

Use the business name, one clear message and, when useful, a short offer, service list or contact detail. Keep essential content near the centre.

How often should a Facebook Page cover be changed?

Update it when your campaign, season, event or main offer changes. Keep a consistent evergreen cover when there is no timely message to promote.

Should a Facebook cover include text?

Text is optional. A short, readable headline can clarify the Page's purpose, while a strong photo-only cover can work for visual brands and destinations.

What makes a useful Facebook cover?

A strong cover helps a visitor understand the Page in a few seconds. Choose one job for the image—introduce the business, promote an offer, build trust or announce something timely—and keep the message focused.

Practical formula: [Business name] + [main customer benefit] + [one action].

Example: Freshly baked every morning · Order for pickup · yourcafe.com
