Landing page as a Facebook tab can be used as a subscription to the newsletter. In this case, a simple landing page with the minimum amount of elements will work best.
What should I know about the Facebook tabs?
- You cannot target campaigns (e.g., using Google Ads) to the fanpage tab.

What do I need to place the landing page as a Facebook page?
- Your fanpage must have a certain number of fans (> 2000), set by Facebook rules.
- The domain of your landing page must have installed an SSL certificate.
