- Resonate With Your Content
This can be a bit trickier, but make sure that your cover photo will resonate with what you are posting on your Facebook page.

Don’t forget lighting! It can make all the difference between your product looking appealing and looking downtrodden and dreary.
Don’t forget context. Don’t add in extra, frivolous images into your picture. If you’re a photographer, make sure you have photography equipment or your specialty. Don’t add in extra stuff that isn’t really related to what you do.
