2 Facebook Company Pages - Best way to merge
-
Hi
I am about to set up a Facebook company page under our current brand name Key - however in March we'll be re-branding to Manutan UK.
I didn't want to wait until March to start using Facebook (we're so behind!) but when we re-brand what are the best steps to take.
Here are my options - I'd love some help!
1. Set up a Key company to actively use now & a separate Manutan page just to secure the page - only using Key until March then merge the business pages (I did read however Facebook won't allow it if the names are different?)
2. Set up a Key page now & in March request a name change of the page & vanity URL
We obviously don't want to lose any likes/followers we've gained between now & March
Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
Thank you

Great thank you!

Hi Becky
One was called Pigley Stairs (Social Media), the second one Carousel Projects (Digital Marketing). I was able to merge the two together.
They are completely different!
I hope that helps
Regards
Nigel

Hi
Thanks for replying. Was your old business name similar to the new business name?
I read that you'll have trouble if the names are really different?
If I set one up for Manutan - which we wont' actively use until March, and one for Key, then merge the Manutan one with the Key page can I change the the name of the Key page to Manutan?

I did this recently and changed the old business page to match the other. Then I merged them when the change had taken place. Be really careful that you choose the right one to merge to. I mean, get them the right way round.

Facebook Reach on Post Just Spiked!
Yesterday I put a post with a photo on our company Facebook page Normally our reach on a post is 500-600 out of a list of 77,000 followers. However, since posting this one yesterday afternoon, our reach has hit almost 9,000! The only thing different with this post vs. any others we've done is that I put a text link for the company name back to the same Facebook page that the post was put on. I didn't intend to do this, it's just that when I started typing in our company name, Facebook suggested making it a link, so I thought, why not? I'm thinking somehow that made it appear in more people's timelines than usual. We posted it the same time in the day as every other post, and this was the only thing unique about it. Any thoughts?

Google + - 2 accounts - Personal and Work Account
Hi everyone, I know this seems like a really dumb question and I am pretty sure I know the answer but I am interested in hearing the communities opinion on the following issue. I have 2 gmail accounts. One for work and a personal one Work gmail account - It is ugly. Something like this abcdefghijklmnop@gmail.com (Don't ask...long story). Obviously I have it connected to my work email that looks like this...name@xdawson.com I created my G+ personal profile with my work gmail (abcdefghijklmnop@gmail.com) and I use the free version of gmail. I have also created my company G+ profile from my work gmail account. My personal gmail account has an empty G+ profile. Don't use G+ except for work. Lately I have been publishing a lot and I am starting to get lots of followers on G+. My suspicion is that Google really does not want people with 2 accounts. Should I be using my personal Gmail account and delete my work gmail account? I need to move my company page to my personal gmail account. I really don't want people to see my ugly work gmail account. It is ugly 🙂 Thanks Carla

Social Media | | Kadel
Should I use the URL of the website or of the facebook's page / google's + page? By the way , may I ask what's the source of the FB Shares that Moz present in the advanced keyword analysis report? and are those shares are of the website or of the facebook's page? Thanks,

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!
