Advice on how to improve our Facebook movement
-
Hello,
We recently launched our facebook page found here. Our website is here.
We give away 30% of our products and we donate to help bees, wolves, and people discovering themselves.
I am wondering how, without spending too much money (we have some money) or for free to improve our Facebook campaign.
We sell orgonite, art-like devices that absorb negative electromagnetic waves and help heal people with health conditions. We also are soon launching a little known powerful mineral supplement campaign (MMS - Master Mineral Supplement) to help people with cancer in return for donations if and only if it helps a lot. Our budget for that post is $100.
Let me know how we can, for free or little money, improve what we're doing. Any advice is appreciated. We're trying to do a lot of good for the community.
Thank you.

I just wanted to say that EGOL's and Fuel Travel's post are the most excellent responses I've ever received for our site.
Fuel Travel, we don't have many (maybe any?) competitors that are like us. We have competitors that compete with different aspects of our site (competitors for orgone products, competitors for shamanism, competitors for supplements) but no-one ties them together like us. How can we use this to our advantage, and what in the heck do we use for home page keyword - not that you can tell us but give us some clues on how to come up with them since we are so unique and almost too cutting edge in our field. There's not really a path set in Google and searchers for our site as a whole, just as pieces.
Please any more advice from anyone is also appreciated.

Hi there!
To build upon the first response, we definitely agree that your product / service is highly niche. Assuming you and the client have a solid understanding of your target audience, use Facebook's precise targeting to your advantage. You can get incredibly granular with who you target - interest based, behavior based, people who like other pages, and several different types of retargeting including email list uploads and website tracking. Since your page has a very small amount of likes to begin with, it would be best to try and grow your audience through "like" campaigns to a hyper specific audience that will appreciate and interact with your page content.
Additionally, we would recommend changing the format of your organic posts. There is obviously a bit of a learning curve with your products / services, so maybe try posting informational but interesting videos or blog articles that demonstrate how to use the products or the benefits of using them. Testimonials from users or other user generated content could work here as well. Test different formats to see what gains traction. From there, you could start dedicating more budget towards promoted posts or other campaign types.
We also noticed that the page itself isn't incredibly informative. Fill out the fields on the "about us" page to give your site more credit and authority. And, perhaps something more descriptive than "a site dedicated to the study of everything" - since that doesn't really tell users anything.
Finally, do you have any competitors? Identify your primary competition on the web and see what they are doing via social media and in general with their internet marketing efforts. This might give you some ideas on what works / doesn't work and could provide some insight into what the market is looking for.
Hope this helps!

I believe that you and your client have more information about this than anyone.
The combination of naked, shaman, EMF detectors, orgone accumulator pucks, hoes, freaky sex, etc. will strongly attract a certain type of customer and at the same time strongly limit the appeal of this business.
The average ecommerce guy isn't going to understand this business. For that reason, any specific advice that you get from him or from me will not be well-informed.
So, if your client has any history of success, I would suggest studying where that success springs from, and then model the Facebook movement after that. Or, identify similar businesses that appear to be successful and learn what seems to be working from them.
In short, I would find working models, try them, tinker with them, discover if any of them work.

Why does our Facebook not show up when searching for our business name?
Our Facebook is titled NJ & PA Personal Injury Attorney Richard P. Console Jr., and the url is Facebook.com/myinjuryattorney, and our website is www.consoleandhollawell.com. Because of the different names, we put social schema on our site which we thought would help Google associate the two. It doesn't seem to be working as we are not showing up in the serp's when searching for "Console & Hollawell Facebook" and even "Richard Console Facebook" Could anyone give any insight as to why? Thank you!

What is the best set-up on Facebook if you have a spanish speaking and english speaking audience?
Hunting around I don't see a simple answer as to the best way to treat a customer base that speaks 2 different languages. The ultimate goal is to build the most efficient, easy to manage solution where segmentation is minimal, ie: we don't have to add 2 lists of friends, if possible. There are a couple of options, 2 company pages (1 english, 1 spanish) 1 company page (english) + community page (spanish) - community pages look like the company can loose ownership however. 1 company page + group What is the best way to do this?

Advice On Directory Needed
Hi, I am hoping some of you my be able to throw some advice my way here. I have picked up an SEO client who has mentioned a web directory called thediscdirectory.co.uk They appear to be a fairly reputable web directory and they have some fairly good extensions like you can add a Review section to your website where customers can add reviews to your website which with the extension will also show the customers your overall star rating etc. Now my question is this, with Google discounting a lot of Directories is it a danger to use these extensions on a site, especially if Google does follow through and make these websites a No No. I am not fan at all of directories but the client seems pretty intent on using this and I want to see some other pro's opinions so If I put my foot down and say no then I need to be able to back it with a good enough answer to convince even the most determined site owner. Thanks

On the "new" YouTube" layout how can I select the correct Facebook page to connect to when my Facebook account has multiple business pages attached to it?
On the "new" YouTube" layout how can I select the correct Facebook page to connect to when my Facebook account has multiple business pages attached to it? My Facebook account has three business pages and the "base" user profile. I am trying to connect one of the business pages to a YouTube channel but each time I attempt to do this YouTube selects the "base" user profile and I cannot determine how to switch it to the correct business page. I attempted to connect while signed in "as the page" but it would not allow that. Thanks for any help!

Facebook, Google Plus - What to share/like?
Hi everybody! We are planning to offer an incentive to all our customers who interact with us on social media websites. What's the most important thing to ask from a customer? Facebook to like our Facebook business page or to like our own website through Facebook? to just follow us on Facebook or to actually comment / interact on our wall? Google + to +1, share, add to circle our Google+ business webpage or to +1 or share our own website? So basically what do we need to promote most? Our Facebook / Google+ business pages or our own website through social media marketing? While we understand it's important to actually interact with the customers and offer value on social media websites, we are looking to boost our SEO efforts. Thank you!

Should we have customers like our URL or our Facebook brand page?
(Note: main question in bold) I know this post basically establishes that Facebook shares are not a strong cause of increased rankings. But what about likes? I've searched and read through the forum and YouMoz blog but haven't really found this question answered. We just redesigned our site and we're implementing sharing options in the booking and order completion processes - should we point the Facebook Like button to like our URL or our Facebook brand page (currently with 3,800+ likes)? Seems that a like of the URL would be more direct ranking value (what we're going for), but according to that same post mentioned above, Google doesn't crawl or index FB wall pages... so is all Facebook activity - shares, url likes, brand page likes - for naught? (at least for now, till Google starts using that info)
