How to get Facebook likes?
-
Hello,
Complete newbie here so please be kind, We are a brand new business based in the UK selling natural/organic hair and skin care products, we have been going about 5 weeks, we are really struggling to get people to like our facebook page! we simply dont know where or how to get people to like it! I mean the right kind of people, i am sure we could buy likes or send people to it that are not really into natural beauty products! so the question is, how do we get our likes up for relevant traffic?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks Emily,
Going to give the Facebook ads a try

Daniel,
I second John's suggestion with FB ads. You can target by interest. Because you have a natural/organic product I'll bet you can reach a nicely targeted audience. Within your ad give them a reason to like you: a discount, giveaway, promises of useful updates...sometimes even just a pretty picture will draw people in.
I've had a lot of success with FB ads (18,600 fans and counting) and I think with proper targeting you can too.

Thanks John, some interesting points there about the Facebook ads, will look in to that

I've seen promotions where if you like a company, you can get a discount on your next purchase. Or let people know you'll be running promotions through your page, so they have an incentive to like you.
You can also run Facebook ads to get people to like you. They offer a lot of demographic and interest targeting, so you could target the right audience. Once you get a few likes, you can target these ads to people who have friends who like you, which makes it more likely for that person to add you, since they can see their friend already likes you.

Facebook News Feed - Proximity as a Factor?
I just got back from a conference in Florida and since being back am seeing many of those industry friends showing up in my Facebook feed with much more regularity than usual - is Facebook using proximity between devices in delivering who shows up in the news feed?

Short Facebook page name/vanity URL
Does anyone know how to go about getting a page name on Facebook of less than 5 characters? I saw Moz was able to claim facebook.com/moz (BTW, congrats on the redesign!), and many other brands also have claimed page names under 5 characters. Has anyone else had success claiming a short page name? Do you have to know the right person at Facebook, or are there other requirements? We have around 35K likes on our page, and our site gets a pretty good amount of traffic. My boss doesn't like any of my ideas that are 5+ characters... she really wants the short URL. If anyone has any insights on what I need to do (or who I need to talk to at Facebook), I'd really appreciate it!

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic drop in Facebook post impressions?
One of the clients I manage has over 5,000 Facebook fans. Whenever I'd make a post, it usually would get ~700-1,000 impressions. About two weeks ago I did my first promoted post. Ever since then, all the regular posts I've done have only gotten ~100 impressions . . . out of 5,325! I'm wondering if Facebook, once learning that you are willing to pay for promoted posts, secretly lowers your impression count so that you will pay for promoted posts more often, or if the timing of my promoted post was just a coincidence, and everyone started to see a decrease about two weeks ago. Does anyone know what's going on?

Best Practices for apps.facebook.com pages
A client of ours has experienced a large drop in traffic (per GA) from apps.facebook.com referral source in the last 30 days. After a lot of searching, its apparent that there is not a lot of chatter on this topic. So this is a twofold topic..... 1. has anyone observed a drop in apps.facebook.com referrals lately as well? 2. does anyone have any best practices learning on optimizing these pages? Facebook guidance and content in general on the topic is virtually not existent. Google is still clearly indexing the url structure so its visible in search at least. https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22apps.facebook.com

Are there any proven SEO benefits of presence and popularity on Facebook, just as there is supposedly benefit from Google+?
How much does visibility on Facebook (or for that matter, Twitter) impact search engine results? I did see a post recently on SEOMoz recently related to that--- but do others have similar experience/ have data to show strong correlation between FB shares/ Likes and search engine results (on Google)? The second, FB-related question is: what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of Facebook for a B2B audience, particularly in a rather niche sector - let's say industrial products? Look forward to your views and answers! Thanks.
