      When I search directly for imageworks creative facebook page on Google, I get many results - some of which are not mine and some of which are listings from other citation sites like Manta.  I did a site: search and I do see that the page is indexed by Google, but it's pretty important that we get a better ranking than we currently have!

      This is the Facebook url:

      https://www.facebook.com/ImageWorksCreative

      As part of our rebranding, we did have the URL changed from /imageworksstudio, but that was well over a month ago.  I feel as though Google should have caught up by now.

      Any thoughts on how we can get our FB profile onto the front page?

        Thanks for that!  My boss updated it quickly yesterday ... it's fixed now.

        I suppose Google is just slow to catch up.  We have links to FB on a lot of our other sites, but I'm going to do some extra link building for the page over the next few days.  Hopefully that will help!

          it's indexed for me. As for the FB page ranking, backlinks. Backlinks in mass works well to rank fb pages. Just dont forget to continue to engage your market.

            Jess,

            As Takeshi said, Google may still be digesting your URL change.  Also, your /imageworkscreative URL shows quite a bit more engagement than your new one yet does--with 1992 likes vs. 119.  So, in the mean time,  be sure to work on building up those engagement signals around your new url, it's likely to help.

              The page is definitely indexed by Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FImageWorksCreative

              If you just changed the URL and it used to be ranking higher, then it could be that Google is still digesting the URL change. To get the page ranking higher, make sure to link to it from all of your other web properties, such as Google+.

              Also, the link to your website from your FB page is broken, you probably want to fix that!

                Is there a Facebook Ad equivalent to Google MCC?

                Hi Mozzers, Really unsure if we are missing something here, but whilst trying to set-up paid ads for some of our clients on FB we have run into a significant issue. We need to be able to allow FB to debit multiple business accounts for varying ads on different pages. However every time we try to access the ads manager to set-up a new ad, FB takes us to the individuals (the person logged in to the page) account, rather than creating an ad account for that page/business individually. What are we missing? We use Google MCC for managing our PPC campaigns and so wondered if there is anything similar we can use for FB? Or any other recommendations on how to get round this without dragging each client into the office and asking them to log-in so that we can set these up? Thanks!

                Can we create regional pages on Facebook?

                Hi, Our business spans across many countries and in order to maintain brand consistency, we were contemplating to create regional fan pages on Facebook. The structure would be like parent-child relation i.e. one main page and other regional pages. Is it possible? We searched for it but could't find something concrete except that in 2012 Facebook was testing similar concept. Regards

                Company FB Page Automatically Friend-Requesting Admins' Contacts

                Hola, So today we added 3 or 4 admins to our company FB page. Our company FB consists of a 'profile' and that 'profile' has create a FB 'page' for the business. All of a sudden, the profile (not the company 'page') started to get a new friends. We thought this was weird as we weren't using this for promotion, we were using the company FB page. Anyway, when we dug a little deeper, we found the profile had automatically sent friend requests to all of the admins' contacts (around 2,000 people!). When we checked the friend request page, we realised we can't cancel all the requests, they have to be done individually! Why would FB do this? It might not be so bad if it was actually inviting the admins' contacts to 'like' the business page, but it's just adding them to the main profile's friend list. The only solution we can find is to deactivate/delete the profile and keep the company page with all the admin attached. Any ideas on this one? It's very weird and now it just looks like our fleldgling business is spamming people! Cheers, Lewis

                Does a link in facebook count as a backlink?

                Q: Does a link in a facebook post count as a backlink? Q: is it a 'do follow' or 'no follow' link? Q: twitter uses short links, so when someone links to me, do i get the points/juice from the backlink?

                Tool like Followerwonk for Facebook?

                Hi For Twitter using Followerwonk you can gauge the influence on what a person/brand is using a tool like Follwerwonk helping you find the most influential twitter users based on a number of metrics.  But is there a similar tool for Facebook which shows which brands/companies Facebook sites have the most influence.  Or is the best way to gauge this is just on their number of likes? which is not really accurate

                Blog posts copied to Facebook or Linked? Any Duplicate Content Issues?

                I wasnt able to find any good answers on this.  I have two separate ecommerce websites, one with a top level blog.  (www.xyz.com/blog) and different website with a subdomain blog (blog.xyz.com)***note on the subdomain blog, although it links to our website.  You cannot directly shop from it.  Until i can make some sort of scraper, its what I have to work with. For quite some time now I have been copying the blog posts and re-creating them on facebook as a Note.  Using the same anchor text/links on facebook as my blog post. Part of the issue is that I want the facebook pages to have some content and not just links.  Both get 2-3 updates per week, 1 of those being a blog re-post. Does anyone know if google or bing considers this duplicate content?  Should I simply link directly to the blog everytime, as a best practice? Any insight on this would be great.  Thanks!

                Is there any SEO benefit to hosting your Facebook photos on your own site?

                I will often post photos that I have taken to my Facebook page (either personal or my fan page).  Sometimes these can get lots of likes. I got thinking that perhaps I host these photos on my site (i.e. www.example.com/images/photo1.jpg) and then share that "page" on Facebook.  That way any of the likes would be counted towards my site. What do you guys think?
