Facebook Likes When Sharing
-
Company A Someone shares a post from Company B on their Facebook page.
The post generated 1000 likes and 300 shares. Only a small percentage of likes show up for Company B's page.
Why does Company B's page not receive all the likes or at least a higher percentage for that post?
-
Paid promotion is a good starting point, but not necessary. Paid promotion only goes so far.
General advertising on a number of mediums both online and offline will get you likes too. Let people know you have a Facebook, keep it active and people will like your page.
Write a blog and include your Facebook link. On forums add a Facebook link in your signature. On paper advertisements, include the Facebook logo and a simple link to it, e.g. www.facecook.com/inmarketingwetrust
I also see you don't have your Facebook account on your Moz profile. That is also I good place to start.

Thanks for your answer. Is there any other way to do this to generate more likes?
-
Did company A share, or post a link on Company B's page? That is the main difference.
The way Facebook sets up 'sharing' posts is that it creates an entire new post with a redirect link to the original post.
If people like or comment on the shared post, Company B will gain the exposure. However, they have the option to click to the original post of Company A and like or comment on there.
-
Because people is liking, sharing and commenting on company's A post, regardless if it was a re-share. Company B will only benefit of that as a "share" and if the users who see company A's post goes to company b's post and like/share/comment there.

2 Facebook Company Pages - Best way to merge
Hi I am about to set up a Facebook company page under our current brand name Key - however in March we'll be re-branding to Manutan UK. I didn't want to wait until March to start using Facebook (we're so behind!) but when we re-brand what are the best steps to take. Here are my options - I'd love some help! 1. Set up a Key company to actively use now & a separate Manutan page just to secure the page - only using Key until March then merge the business pages (I did read however Facebook won't allow it if the names are different?) 2. Set up a Key page now & in March request a name change of the page & vanity URL We obviously don't want to lose any likes/followers we've gained between now & March Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? Thank you

Should my Facebook like button be for my Facebook page or my webpage?
I am curious as to people's opinion about the Facebook like button you add to a given website. It would seem with the increased influence of social media indicators that you would want to have people "like" your webpage (as opposed linking the like back to your Facebook page) when they go to your webpage, but this dilutes the number of likes you get at both Facebook and your webpage. It is my understanding that people are more likely to "like" a page that already has a lot of "likes." As most of my clients are very small businesses, this is a significant consideration as their "like" volumes are very low by default (i.e., if you only have a few hundred people who even use your business it is hard to get thousands of likes). Thanks for your opinion!

Does the Facebook Share button still exist?
Hi everyone, I'm reading everywhere about the Facebook 'Share' being more powerful than the Facebook 'Like'. Just yesterday, there's a post on the SEOmoz blog about Facebook Shares http://www.seomoz.org/blog/plus-one-adoption-rates-and-social-sharing-statistics But I thought the Share button was replaced by the Like button? http://mashable.com/2011/02/27/facebook-like-button-takes-over-share-button-functionality/ All references to the Share button now point you to Facebook's Like button developer page. So if we want more SEO value, where can we get the Share button from? Or do we have to make do with the Like button from now on?
