    Need some info!  I recently visited a Bar in Sydney - Bar100 – https://www.facebook.com/bar100sydney.  Great place so I thought I would check in on FB using my HTC Desire Android phone.  I have the latest app and when I found the page I saw there were 7,000+ checks so I checked in.  However, there were things missing that I would like to know more about…My questions are:

    1. How can you setup an FB page so that when someone checks in they can also like the page at the same time?

    2. Are FB Check-in Deals available in Australia?  If yes how do I set these up?

     

    3. How to you show the number of checkins on a FB page?

  • First you need to have a valid address for your business location (in the page settings)

    Here is a link to some details – not sure if they are up to date b/c our page does not list our exact address but it is worth trying…

  • @damientown  I’m double checking but I’m pretty sure if someone checks in to your Place/Page then they will automatically Like it.  I’ll let you know.  

    Then it looks like Check in Deals are available in Australia:  http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=239116322794184  When you have a Place/Page, you will just go to the Manage then Edit Page (from the Admin area) and you will see the Deals option on the lower left sidebar.  

    Once you have combined the Place and the Page, then Checkins will show up automatically.  Hope that helps!

  • Hi Andrea – many thanks for the info.

    I found this article on FB deals being cancelled http://mashable.com/2011/08/26/facebook-deals-is-dead/ …is that correct?
