Re-branding Company Social Profiles
-
Hi
Does anyone have experience of re-branding LinkedIN or Facebook? Can you keep the company page/followers and just change your name or do you have to start again?
Thank you!
-
In my experiece I created some brand pages related to one of my product, create some trending content and when the page is ranked I merge the old with the new one.
-
Sure they will, but it will likely take a bit of time
Good luck!!!

Hi
Yes I see your point. I found this article on Moz https://moz.com/blog/how-to-rebrand-your-social-media-accounts
I think if you prove it with documents then it's more likely to be accepted?
-
That's a valid point, however without reaching out to them you're unlikely to be able to completely change the branding. You need to see things from their POV too - perhaps somebody would promote a charity at first and then switch to porn one night. They need to have control over these.

Thanks, I'm trying to research as a lot of places must have this problem.
The main concern is losing the likes/follows built up
-
I don't think you'll be able to change everything (the URL for example) yourself, but you should definitely log a support ticket with both sites and ask them to do this for you. Facebook might not be possible at all - but I think Linkedin will.
Hope this helps If it does please send a like. Thanks!

Is there Anyway of finding out a companies facebook shares?
Is there anyway of finding out a companies facebook shares. When I checked out a competitor of one of my clients who seems to be very well placed without many links I discovered that they have over 298 facebook shares on Open Site Explorer but when I look at their site or search on facebook I cannot find any business facebook page for this company so I am really intrigued to find out where they are getting these shares from? Does anyone have any ideas?

Lost social share count after migrating blog
Hi, Yesterday I migrated our blog to a new domain. It seems it went smoothly and all 301 redirects were implemented and are working properly, however, the social share count was lost across all posts and has returned to zero. Is there any easy way I can recover our social share counts across the board? I am using the **1-click Retweet/Share/Like **plugin for Wordpress. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you, from Russell in South Africa.

Social Signals CONFUSION
You know how sharing on social networking sites can act as social signal for ranking but I was wondering that what type of sharing on fb/google + ? does it has to be our site links all the time or any sharing other than our own site links matters too ? lets say if we are just discussing something on fb/google+ without our site link does that count too? social signal is sent only when we share our own sites link on social sites or through any kind of activity on our social fb/google+ page ? If you want to tell anything else connected with social signal please go ahead ..

Do Your Social Metrics Such As Tweets Transfer With a 301?
Got asked this today, and I don't know the answer, so throwing it out there to all your mozzers! If I 301 redirect a page that has built up a lot of tweets, likes, shares, even +1's, does that social data get transferred over to the new page in as far as social strength/ authority is concerned? Would Google still be able to see the previous version of this page had x amount of tweets etc, and take this into consideration when ranking the new page?

Social Noise - what counts?
Getting social signals is important it seems now. Is having a facebook comments box on your website where people can comment worth any social noise? if it posts to their facebook page its only seen by their friends, not google. So basically wondering do you get social signals of people commenting on your page in a facebook comments feature?
