      Hi everyone,

      got a quick question in regard to our Facebook page and its appearance on the Google SERP.

      We have individual Facebook pages for every country and language. Unfornately the UK site is ranking in the German SERP rather then our Germany Facebook Site. The UK site is way older and has much more likes which most likely explains why this page is (still) outranking our, fairly new site (couple of months).

      Is there a way, to push my German Facebook Site in front of the UK Site in Germany?

      Any advice or tipp is much appreciated.

      Thanks

        Hi Mirko,

        can we consider this Q&A as answered or are you still struggling with this issue?

          Likes are not a ranking factor :D... so thinking they are the reason your UK Facebook page is outranking the German one in google.de is not a correct assumption.

          I would look to more classic reason, as the backlinks your UK Facebook page may have and the DE one not.

          Try to build links pointing to your German FB page from German webistes. This should be enough for making understand Google to present your DE FB page to German users instead of the UK one.

          Finally, the hreflang annotations (presence or not) do not have any influence of how your Facebook pages rank or not.

            Hi Tim,

            Thanks for your quick reply!

            I'm checking it on Google Ad preview. Settings: domain: de; Language: German, Country: Germany.-

            We had taken of hreflang due to some problems a couple weeks ago. Can this affect our facebook site as well?

              I just wanted to check that you had tried performing these search in each locality before getting a bit worried. If you are doing the search for the FB page here in the UK it is most likely that a local UK version is displayed, where as if you are doing a search from with Germany via google.de is there a chance the DE version is shown instead? Just wanted to rule it out first.

                Is there a Facebook Ad equivalent to Google MCC?

                Hi Mozzers, Really unsure if we are missing something here, but whilst trying to set-up paid ads for some of our clients on FB we have run into a significant issue. We need to be able to allow FB to debit multiple business accounts for varying ads on different pages. However every time we try to access the ads manager to set-up a new ad, FB takes us to the individuals (the person logged in to the page) account, rather than creating an ad account for that page/business individually. What are we missing? We use Google MCC for managing our PPC campaigns and so wondered if there is anything similar we can use for FB? Or any other recommendations on how to get round this without dragging each client into the office and asking them to log-in so that we can set these up? Thanks!

                How can you tell if a competitors' FB post was boosted?

                Does anyone know how to identify if a FB post was boosted or not? Does FB or a third party software have that  capability? Thanks, Ruben

                Way to reset Facebook page Reach sending patterns

                I have a client that posts a bunch of really poorly formatted and nonengaging content on her a Facebook business page. This has caused her reach to be very low, despite having 9000 real followers. Due to a history of poor content and therefore low engagement Facebook just does not send her stuff out anymore. Is there a way to change that? I heard you could reset that notion by staying off the page for a couple of weeks and then beginning to post once more with better stuff. Is that remotely true?

                Why can't anyone check in on my Facebook Page?

                Once upon a time, we were able to check in at our office on Facebook.  Then, one day, we just...couldn't. I didn't (at least intentionally) change any settings on the page.  I can't seem to even find a setting for this.  What happened, and how do I fix it? Thank you so much in advance.

                Videos perform poorly on facebook...why?

                I have a facebook page with 42,000 Real fans. Images, screenshots, links, questions, etc all perform well. But videos get 0 interaction. If I get 5 likes that is saying something. Why would facebook not send out my videos to people? Is there a way to increase them? It is very frustrating to post our youtube videos to get no response. My fans are most 13-30 yr old gamers, so videos should be right up their alley.

                How do I track my Facebook page rank?

                Hey guys, Probably a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to track Facebook (or other offsite profiles that I own) pagerank along with my domain? I'm working on a project right now where I noticed we're not on the front page for our search term, but our Facebook page is. It would just be helpful to have that info for a more complete SEO picture. Thanks!
                Mike

                Is there any SEO benefit to hosting your Facebook photos on your own site?

                I will often post photos that I have taken to my Facebook page (either personal or my fan page).  Sometimes these can get lots of likes. I got thinking that perhaps I host these photos on my site (i.e. www.example.com/images/photo1.jpg) and then share that "page" on Facebook.  That way any of the likes would be counted towards my site. What do you guys think?
