Facebook business page
-
Hello Can you help me. I'm starting out in SEO and sometimes I think I miss the Elephant in the room. I have tried and tried to find our via 'Google' or 'Seomoz' articles the answer to this question. How does 'Google Panda' link a facebook business page to it's actual business website if the url is not identical eg 'www.setteeherts.co.uk' 2 'www.facebook.com/settee-herts'? As no one is talking about this I'm assuming I am missing the elephant. If you can see it can you point it out gently? ta!

Thanks James

Thank you Gianluca - I did suspect that these entities would be enjoined by their relationships via reciprocal links. You are quite right I didn't word my query at all well, & I'm very impressed you managed to answer my question as well as reword my question. You should do training!
Thanks again

I think google will take the first content which was indexed i.e if the website was indexed first then it will have prority in the ranks.
If the Facebook pages was second it will rank lower, yet you can use SMO tactics to rank both pages within Google SERPS to drive traffic to both destinations.

Mmm... I think it is me now "missing the Elephant" right now?
Are you asking how Google link an FB Page to the corporate website of the same business?
Well, Google is not linking them, it sees as two different things, as really they are. What it does is identify the entity behind both web presence (the Business) because of signs as the presence of the link to FB Page in the site of the business and viceversa (the link to the corporate site in the FB Page). Or, when the Google+ profiles will be available also for businesses, with the presence in those profiles of the links to both the corporate site and the FB Page.
I hope I was able to help... and especially I hope to have understood your question... even though I still wonder what the Panda Update should have to have an influence here

Increasing likes on Facebook - Strategies
What local strategies has anybody used in the past to boost the local likes of a Facebook page. The business concerned is a home improvements company covering a geographical area of the UK. What I would like to do is try and increase the number of likes from our potential target audience in cities and towns that we cover. I don't think Facebook ads are the right choice as many users just ignore them, but would be interested in online and offline marketing strategies that could be used to boost numbers to our Facebook page. The reason this is so important especially in the home improvement space is that most projects are awarded on word of mouth recommendations, so Facebook is the perfect platform.

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?

Google+ What account to use for business?
Ok, we have been pretty dismissive of Google+ but having read more and more about how it is now directly influencing search results (currently in the USA) we are going to suggest setting up accounts for business. The question is, which Google Account should be used for the business page? In the nice presentational video on Google+ the example business is a nice local bike shop, which is simple right? Just use the small business owners account. But what about larger clients? Who in the org should have the business page on their account? What if that individual leaves? Can the page be separated from that account? Should you use maybe a Google Apps for Business account? But the issue with that is you will obviously have no one in any circles to share that page with. It all seems to be too closely tied to the personal side of Google+ Any help would be great. Thanks.

Facebook Like Wall
Here is a Facebook question: I would like to hide some content behind a Facebook wall - i.e. only make it visible to users who press the like button. Something like the New Yorker did with a Jonathan Franzen story. My question is: how do I do that? Thanks! Thomas

Facebook etiquette
Should you post on competitor's facebook page, I had an opportunity to recommend a client site for their services. The facebook page was a holiday company, they only offered hotels & apartments, the post asked do they do villas and they responded with "no" and wished them luck. Should I have posted a link to our clients website or facebook page?
