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

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

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.

How to regain Facebook Page Authority - For page badly affected with spam users
Case- company Facebook page has more than 10K users and almost 50% are spam. When this happens, edge rank of the page is badly affected (because spam users are not interested in your shared content so they hide you/remove you from feed and of course never engage). Not to mention Facebook released an update end of 2014 where page will have less visibility anyway compared to user updates. Overall the Page updates get very less exposure / impressions Now only solution is to remove this huge no of spam users one by one or by an API. Question - Does removing the spam users regain the authority of the page ? Does that solve the overall issue ? What are the other solution to fix the situation ? Thanks.

How much power does using keywords on Facebook and Twitter have from an SEO perspective?
Hi all, When we add a new Christmas party package onto our website I always tweet about it with a link to the party page, utilizing a tweet such as : "New Manchester Christmas parties", followed by the link. How much power (if any) does utilizing the key phrase Manchester Christmas parties have on SEO for that page? Bearing in mind the link is shortened and doesn't mention the keywords anywhere in it, they are only present in the tweet itself. Similarly, on our company Facebook page I always post a link with a title such as "check out our new Manchester Christmas parties". Does this have much SEO benefit for the page I'm directing the link to? Many thanks!!
