Help with Brands Facebook page
-
Hi Guys
I desperately need help on this one.......I have taken over the management of a Brand's facebook page and have some concerns as to how it was setup. The account was opened by an individual that has a personal account but they did not open the brands page from their personal account...instead they used a slightly different email address and opened a new page business account. I am not able to comment on any comments on this account and i am assuming it was as a result that there is no "profile" (not sure).
Should i go ahead and create the profile with the details of someone at the brand? or how should i proceed to rectify this......am i not able to comment as a result of not having a profile??
help!
UpDate: The comment issue has been resolved and it seemed to be browser / firewall related...never happened before...very strange

thanks guys

If it is a Fan page, and you have a FB account, you will be able to just add yourself as an admin. There shouldn't be a separate login.

I would request that they create a special email address for you, such as nomad(at)site(dot)com and use that for the facebook business admin.
As mentioned above, fan pages have a lot more useful tools. You can see some cool examples at facebook.com/redbull and facebook.com/cocacola

thanks Steven..it is a business page so only "likes" no "friends". I want to change the email access away from the original person who opened the account and use one of the senior members at the brand as the contact. this person has an existing facebook personal account so i am concerned if i can use their email on the business page (in fear of the two account violation)..or should i have the brand create a email specifically for the facebook acount...to play it safe.....i am a little confused with what emails i can and cannot be used if they are linked to existing personal accounts..with regards to only having one account.
appreciate your help on this matter as the more terms i read the more confused i am.

Is it a Fan page? I have had this problem already, here is how you know the difference:
With fan pages you can have multiple admins.You would log in to Facebook as yourself and then go and admin it.
If it was done as a personal page, where you have to login to that account, you might have a problem on your hand as there is no administration on something like that.
In my opinion:
If it was done as a personal page I would start by creating a Fan page and then just posting on the current one for everyone to go and 'Like' the new one because the current one will be shutting down. It will take a few weeks for everyone to move over and you may loose a few who don't log in to FB anymore.
There are advantages to doing it as a Fan page including:
- Applications
- Administration
- Metrics
- User Control
- Wall Control

Google Plus Company Page Verification
Hi How do you test successful G+ company page/publisher integration/verification if using the less technical methods such as linking between the Home page and the G+ company page instead of adding code to the head section? Since i take it the google structured data testing tool cant work in these cases since no code on the head section ! Is it best to add the code anyway ? I note my clients still not achieving a knowledge graph card/section in the search results for a branded search but i have heard that doesnt come until you have at least hundreds of followers and/or G+ interactions. All Best

Page Speed and Social sharing bookmarks - how to balance
I've been having some challenges on my page load times and am in process of addressing. Some of the issues are my pictures(so I'm in process of condensing), but part of the issue (according to pingdom.com) is my social sharing. I was using 1 click retweet, and when I changed this to Sexy bookmarks, it seemed to improve. But, I'm wondering 2 things: 1. Do you guys have any recos on which plugin is best to use and takes least time to load (I'm not sure if this is contraditory). My priority is G+/Tw/FB. 2. On my sexybookmarks, it's strange because visually, the plugin is not showing up correctly. Where the G+ button should be, it's invisible. Ironically it works, if I click on it, but a normal person is not going to realize it's there. Any suggestions? In case it helps, my site is TheFlooringGirl.com. I don't think the plugin shows up there, but it does show up at the bottom of all of my blog posts. Thx. I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Facebook comments plugin moderation
Hello I am trying to integrate the Facebook social plugin http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...gins/comments/ into my website. So far I have included the HTML 5 code in my site and it is visible, but how can I moderate the comments before they are being posted? I have included into the header of the root of my site but when viewing the comments area on a page within my site I cannot see any moderation options? Hope this makes sense and someone can help Many Thanks

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!

Facebook Promotion Help
I am considering doing a iPad give away to gain more Facebook page likes. I have several questions running through my brain that I'm hopeful fellow Mozzers can help me with. I was thinking I'll give away an iPad for every 500 FB likes on our page...or $1.00 per like. If I get an abundance of likes will Google smile upon me? How do I track the entries? Are there any tools that can assist in getting the word out on this and or tracking it all? I'm kind of a FB newb!

Google Places Pages and social icons
I have a business that works in many cities across Texas. Our home base is in Austin and i have a Google Places page set up for Austin. I have a page dedicated to each major city in Texas talking about clients we've worked with in each city, etc.. I am placing social icons on each page and Google Places is one of the Icons and i was concerned that if Google sees a link to our Austin places page on our Houston page that the Houston page might be considered less relevant for a Houston search being as Google takes note of addresses on pages to consider relevance. Will my page suffer in the serps if i link to our Austin local page on our other city pages in the google places icon? Second question: What are the best social icons to put on my web pages for the best traffic? Take care,
