Did you know that higher than 50% of mobile traffic comes from online videos? There are still countless businesses that aren\u2019t capitalizing on this profitable marketing channel. With a cover video, you can capture the visitor&#8217;s attention quicker than with just a static picture at the top of your business page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to consider whenever you use online video to market a service or product the caliber of the video will be the determining factor in the results you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A poorly made, hard to see or hear video will not do much to make you look like an expert in your niche. No one expects Academy Award caliber videos, but the video must be well laid out and visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, as with all things, there are some essential tips you need to keep in mind to be able to capitalize on this new feature for Facebook business pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Article Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a233705dbc3b\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a233705dbc3b\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Facebook_Video_Cover_Specs\" >Facebook Video Cover Specs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Facebook_Cover_Videos_Examples\" >Facebook Cover Videos Examples<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Real_Estate\" >Real Estate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Travel_Agency\" >Travel Agency<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Hair_Salons\" >Hair Salons<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Dentist\" >Dentist<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Catering_Service\" >Catering Service<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-needs-facebook-cover-videos\/#Wedding_Planner\" >Wedding Planner<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_Video_Cover_Specs\"><\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-2-color\">Facebook Video Cover Specs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

The ideal length is between 20 and 60 seconds. It is a sad truth, but a lot of online surfers do not have a long attention span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Facebook requires a unique size for these cover video which is 820&#215;312 pixels at the minimal. For best quality of your video use 820x 462 pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Uploading your video cover to your Facebook business page is pretty simple. Click on the picture icon at the top of your business page. You will have two options (choose from videos) which is a video from your current video library on Facebook or (upload photo\/video) which allows you to upload the video from your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you upload the video, you may need to adjust the video so that it fits in the space correctly. Next, select a thumbnail for your video cover and click publish. Make sure you choose (automatically replay video in a loop) that way the video auto-plays when potential fans or clients land on your business page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/why-your-business-need-facebook-cover-videos\/facebook-video-cover-specs\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-414\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs.jpg\" alt=\"fb cover videos size\" class=\"wp-image-414\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scgmarketingsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/facebook-video-cover-specs-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>facebook video cover specs<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_Cover_Videos_Examples\"><\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-2-color\">Facebook Cover Videos Examples<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ways different industries can use Facebook Cover Videos to bring in more traffic and sales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real_Estate\"><\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-2-color\">Real Estate<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Estate Agents can promote their open houses, current listing, or show-off their five-star reviews to potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Facebook Cover Videos | Facebook Cover Video Examples for Real Estate\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UEoPLhqvfYU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
