Company's Official Facebook Page Doesn't Appear In SERP
-
Hi,
Our official company's facebook page doesn't appear at all, in all serp.
I'll elaborate all in details here below.
We have an official Arabic Company Facebook page with more than 1.9k likes, the page itself is very active and constantly being updated by a person in charge of the Facebook page.
We also have an official English Company Facebook page - runs and operated in the same method mentioned above.
when I search for my company's BRANDNAME in google.com.sa - both official facebook pages (arabic + english) don't appear in the serp. I've went through all the way to end of the results pages - I couldn't find both pages anywhere.
On the other hand, when I search for the brand name + facebook, like this: BRANDNAME Facebook
I can find both Arabic and English facebook pages in the 1st page one right after the other.
Anyone can help me out here? I'm desperate for solution.
Thanks

Hi Joni
How about these other things;
- does your facebook page have any backlinks in addition to your own site (you can check in open site explorer)
- are you using the open graph tags?
- can you find your facebook pages in other countries? (try google.com google.ca google.co.uk google.com.au)
- for google.com.sa are you viewing in English or Arabic?
- try copying and pasting a snippet of text from your facebook page (like a sentence or two) and search for that in quotes in google.com.sa - does it return your facebook page?
- try also searching for: [brandname -site:yourdomain.com] - a search for your brand excluding your own site
Let me know about those!

Hi Dan.
Thank you for your response, I appreciate your help.
Our Google+ pages, Facebook pages and YouTube channels are reciprocally linked to our website (crawlable, of course). Both facebook pages contain the brand name in the URL.
I would appreciate more suggestions. What would you suggest to concentrate on doing?

Hi There - I too am shooting in the dark here a little without having the exact page, but I understand you not being able to share it.
One, is do you have any back links built to the facebook page?
Two, is are you reciprocally linking to/from the website and facebook profile? Are the links on the website crawlable etc?
Are you using the facebook open graph tags on your website?
Do you have a Google Plus Business profile setup - and from that profile, linking out to your company website as well as the facebook profile? Same for YouTube?
Lastly, did you set up a clean URL for the facebook page with the brand name?

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to expose my company's official Facebook page's title.I did check the 'about us' pages both in English and Arabic and they are not copy-pasted/duplicated.
This is really frustrating, as I can't understand why the company's official Facebook page doesn't appear for the search results of our BRANDNAME.
While I was rereading my initial question I've noticed that I forgot to mention an important thing:
In google.com.sa, when searching for our BRANDNAME , the 4th result is a Facebook HATE-PAGE someone had opened. (The page has only 29 likes and something like 15 posts).What could be the variables causing this issue, and what do we need to do to resolve it and get our official Facebook pages on the first page results?

Having access to the actual facebook pages would help us discover what's wrong with it. Right now, it sounds like your Facebook page is in the supplemental index for your BRANDNAME. Does the Facebook page provide information that is different from the website or is it all the same? e.g. Is the "About Us" section copy/pasted from the website?
Can't get more specific without more specifics =/

Serps display
Good Morning Everyone, So by now i'm sure you've all heard about the search engines like Google and Bing displaying Emoji's in the Page titles of the SERPS. Does anyone know how to input the emojis into your page title? I have a magento site and have no idea where to find the emoji's and how to place them in the title. Any help/guidance/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Best way to structure a new company blog with multiple existing individual country sites?
Hi, we have a client who have multiple business websites .co.nz, .com.au, .co.uk, .com which all have unique content intending to rank in each country. These sites are on a CMS that has a blog function capability. Should we set up the blog on one of these country sites then link to other sites when appropriate? OR Is it best to set up a new blog on something like Wordpress (or what?) that takes all blog posts from all countries and then links out to the relevant sites when appropriate. So the new blog becomes the content hub and creates its own Google power to then pass when appropriate to the various country sites? Any suggestions welcome especially from people who are currently doing either of these methods, and have experienced the results both positive and negative of the different approaches. NB: there will be about 20 staff creating a blog post on a topic relevant to them per month each once blog is live.

YouTube won't let me disconnect a Google+ business page from my channel.
Hello! Here is a good one. My YouTube channel is connected to a Google+ page a created by accident. Since I named this accidental page as a business, when I go into advanced setting to disconnect it from YouTube, it says "This feature is not available for this account." Does anyone know a way around this? I don't want to have to rebuild my Google+ page on the new, accidental page. I have put quite a bit of time onto my current page and would like to get it hooked up to YouTube. Please help! Thank you!

What's the best strategy for dealing with old ripoff reports that dominate your name rankings?
We are just now starting to work on our site optimization. There are a lot of old ripoff reports and other complaints that surface, specifically around our name search. Our competitors use this commonly and our clients come accross regularly. We have made management changes, and real changes in the business since then, but we don't know the best way to get our positive news to replace old negative news. Any ideas? Specifics would be great. Thanks,

How to control Artist Info sidebar on Google SERP?
Google has added an information sidebar to its SERPs for public figures, including artists of all stripes. Search for "Coldplay" and you'll see what I mean. I'm wondering where Google pulls this information from, and how to keep it complete and up to date. The sidebar includes basic information, including Birthday, Education, Awards and Works (albums / books etc.). In representing an artist, this is now the first encapsulated information presented to user searching for my artist, and I want to make sure it's accurate. Any insight on how to edit this info would be truly appreciated.

Using mlm and 'scammy' websites to identify brand/reputation management opportunities
I think this almost warrants a youmoz post, but I was wondering if anyone has used MLM or 'shady' industry companies to see where they place their reputation/brand links to dominate the first 2-3 pages of google for things like 'company name + scam' 'company name + reviews'. On a side note what is your opinion of a company that goes to great lengths to create a very strong push to control those keywords? Would you recommend your clients dominate the first 2-3 pages with 'honest review about company x' and 'the truth about company x' fakeditorials? Do you guys think people see right through them. Take any MLM..for instance legal shield scam (not my company, but an MLM that I am very wary of) as professionals what do you think of their reputation management build out......what do you think consumers would see when they read this? is there such a thing as going to far to refute false claims and building sponsored reviews? I'm personally against doing sponsored reviews and spamming with them, but maybe I am naive.

Should your company's name be in the title tag of your website?
First of all, I would like to provide some background information. Our company is small. We are just now getting into SEO research and have been improving over a couple months of research. We are somewhere in the 500,000's in the world rankings. From what I understand, the title tag provides a great amount of weight to whatever keywords you set up. The words in the title tag are supposed to represent keywords that you want to be high in the search engines for, correct? Well, in our title tag, we have the name of our company. To me, this is a waste of space. No one is going to go to Google and search for our company's name because we are not that widely known. Looking back at our search history for customers, there has not been a single search for the company name. What someone is telling me, is that when we put our link somewhere, having the name of our company in the title tag strengthens the "link juice" we get from those links. Is this correct, or is it worth trashing the company name for another keyword to optimize?
