Facebook page SEO optimization
-
Hi, how could I optimize Facebook page for SEO? how can I get a title like this: Brand | Facebook in the Search Result pages?
-
Excellent! Thanks Richard!

I understand. It comes down to the type of Facebook page you decide to use for your business - this is going to be a double edged sword for how you want the title to look and your local SEO objectives.
If you choose to build a "brand" page in facebook then the tittle tag will automatically appear as you want it ( **Brand Name | Facebook ). **But these brand pages do not carry any local SEO value because it is not tied to a physical location. This is often used by large national companies that don't have physical locations. Also alot of small local businesses have this style of page because they set it up wrong to start with, I've had many clients like this.
If you select a local business page, then it appears as I mention above (Brand Name - Location - Category | Facebook). The presence of your NAP (name, address, & phone #) aligns with your local SEO effort.
So if your goal is Local Search Optimization, you need to stick with the local business page style on Facebook. Switching to a brand page would hurt your rankings. Optimizing for Local Search is not going to always be pretty.
Hope that helps! Good Luck.

Thanks Richard. Is for Local Search, but i didn´t undertand the part of Facebook NAP.
When I search "X Company Facebook" in Google, the organic results shows:
Brand Name ** | ** Facebook
I want to know how can I optimize my page so when people search my company + Facebook, they see that type of title without the location and category fields, because right now when I search my company + Facebook, the page title looks like this:
Brand Name- Mexico City, Mexico.......-Facebook
Thanks!

Little bit of a strange question. Are you trying to optimize the page for Local Search or just general SEO?
As far as the page title for your Facebook page, you have very little control. Facebook is in control of the page title since it's under their domain. The typical format for Facebook Business Page titles is :
Brand Name - Location - Category | Facebook
As for Local Search, the page title on your Facebook page does not really play a part. Having your Facebook NAP and other info match that of your Google+ and other listings is the primary factor.
For General SEO, having a facebook page that points back to your brand and regular sharing of blog post can help optimize YOUR website.
Hope that helps.

Is a Tumblr company blog good for SEO?
Hi, We are in the process of gaining coverage and visibility over our SaaS service. And one of the work we're doing is, very much standardly, having our pro blog with content. I see that most of companies/people are using a WordPress or a Blogger blog to achieve this. Another school is choosing Tumblr, which is a rising star. But then I can't help to feel that there is something wrong with Tumblr. It doesn't appear in Google search at all... It is never in the top of the searches. And sometimes even search for an exact match of a known post extract won't show the Tumblr link into google Search. What it means to me is that Tumblr has a very poor SEO-friendly policy. I was also reading in different posts that it was indeed the case. Tumblr is bad for SEO. I can't help but feeling confused and not really understanding how such a big social blogging engine couldn't get into google search... Or are they going twitter-like? I guess my question will be: "Is it good to have chosen Tumblr, or should I switch to either WordPress.com or Blogger using a custom DNS?" Thanks for reading.

Linking Facebook activity and your post
Hi everyone, I'm sure you know how images tend to do better in Facebook. The problem is, if I post an image on Facebook, and link to a blog post in the comment of that image, the activity of that Facebook post wouldn't be pulled into the blog post. That is, the blog would show 1 "like" when the post on Facebook is actually getting 150 "likes". That wouldn't be the case if I posted a link instead of an image. Does anyone know of a work-around? Thanks.

Vibrant Facebook Community around a Business, how to ask for links?
Hello, Helping a friend out with their site: Black Mountain Colorado Dude Ranch. It is an awesome dude ranch (working ranch that has cabins for rent so you can get that 'western experience' without buying a ranch. Yes there are cattle drives). They have a great ~1000k a picture facebook page https://www.facebook.com/blackmtnranch that is fantastic, but I'm completely at a loss on how to get help with our ranking terms from this (as most don't have blogs, websites or any knowledge of what linking is outside facebook). Ideas? tl;dr Asking for links from people without sites is confusing to them, but is there any tips to getting help from them?

Facebook Advertising Noob Question
Hello Mozzers, I have a noob question for which I have not been able to find a clear answer on the internet. When a client asks you how much would I have to spend on FB ads to get 100,000 fans how do you go about making a "media plan". I can understand you can calculate clicks using your budget and CPC but fans? Also, ad impressions on Facebook? FB doesn't even give that metric anymore on its default ad dashboard where you have campaign reach, social reach, CTR etc. So if a client wants 1Million Facebook Ad Impressions (I know, I know), how do you tell them how much its going to cost them. In a nutshell, clients want to know how much they should be spending to get x number of fans and impressions and vice versa, how many fans and impressions will $XXX get them. So how does one go about making a media plan for Facebook advertising, what do you include in it and well, anything else that I should know? Thank you, Rishad.

Facebook likes v fans
Hello, When I look at my site in opensiteexplorer it says my site has 79 Facebook "likes". But actually, it has 4,070. In another part of the PRO dashboard it correctly identifies 4,070 but calls them "fans". I thought if someone hit the "like" button they became "fans". So why is SEOmoz reporting the vastly different figures?

How do you moderate facebook comments?
I added facebook comments to many pages on my site. Does anyone know how you can moderate (or even see) what comments have been left? If I go to facebook.com/insights for my website it tells me that I have had 15 comments this month. But, if I go to "popular pages" it shows me 1 page. If I click on that page I can see that one comment. But where are the other 14? I really like the idea that when people leave a facebook comment on my page it goes on their friends' news streams and then my site gets more exposure. But, if I can't moderate my comments that would not be good!
