    Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

      Hi, how many followers and also posts does the Facebook account have? It could be that the Facebook account is brand new, and therefore hasn't been crawled and indexed by Googlebot before?

        Here are a few steps that may help:
        -Check the privacy and publishing settings on the Facebook page.
        -Make sure the page is not blocked for indexing by search engines.
        -Check that the content meets Facebook's standards.
        Contact Facebook support for further assistance.
        Hope this helps!

          Hello! If your client's Facebook page isn't showing up in the search engine results page (SERP), despite correct Meta settings, there are a few things you might want to check and consider:

          Page Visibility Settings:
          Ensure that the Facebook page is set to "Published" and not "Unpublished" or restricted in any way. You can find this setting in the Page Settings under General.

          Content Indexing:
          Verify that the content on the Facebook page is accessible and indexable by search engines. Facebook may have restrictions that limit the visibility of certain content. Check the privacy settings on posts and make sure they are set to "Public."

          Page Name Consistency:
          Confirm that the page name on Facebook matches the name you are searching for. Any discrepancies might affect search results.

          Crawl Issues:
          Use tools like Google Search Console to check for any crawl issues or errors related to the Facebook page. This can help identify if there are technical problems preventing proper indexing.

          Fresh and Relevant Content:
          Regularly update the Facebook page with fresh and relevant content. Search engines often prioritize active and engaging pages.

          Backlinks:
          Encourage the generation of quality backlinks to the Facebook page. This can positively influence its search engine ranking.

          Search Engine Preferences:
          Sometimes, search engine algorithms may take time to recognize changes or updates. Be patient and continue to monitor the situation.

          If the issue persists, it might be helpful to consult with SEO specialists or Facebook support for a more in-depth analysis. They can provide tailored advice based on specific details about the Facebook page and your SEO efforts.

            @GoogleAlgoServant Just to make sure that it's really not there, try this Google search, making sure to use quitation marks as indicated:

            "Exact FB Page Name" site:facebook.com

            There's also a very good chance that it hasn't been indexed, and might not ever be...

              SERP Title Display Issue

              serp title tags

              When doing a google search for "Wedding Invitations Toronto", you will find my site www.stephita.com shows up in top 5 results. I'm trying the figure out why the TITLE of the page no longer shows up in the SERP. Only the domain shows up above the link to the page. So you basically see www.stephita.com twice, when the first instance should be the "title" drawing from the HTML code. I did implement the JSON code to provide proper site data structure as well. Could someone check my source, and tell me if I'm missing something, or if I put TOO MUCH stuff there? Thank You!!!!

              Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading

              serp moz local

              Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

              Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords

              serp keyword rankings

              Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?

              Facebook adds a trailing slash to urls?

              Hey Guys, we are facing a problem in our www.batuta.com with Facebook shares. Seems like because we choose to set our preferred canonical version urls to end with a trailing slash ( / ), like this one e.g.: www.batuta.com/الوجهات/إسبانيا/ Facebook adds automatically another ( / ) when trying to read the url on first share before its ever indexed in FB. Which makes Facebook think its a bad request! cause then the URL has two // at the end of it. hope this was clear. anyway, so first question: did anybody face this issue before? any solutions? Second, and might be more important: I might be forced to face the option of changing the canonical tags to be a url without a ( / ) if I will have to do this I will enforce a redirect on every url request with an ending trailing slash ( / ) to be redirected to the new canonical version without. will this be enough? how big am I supposed to suffer here? am I facing a long time with double indexed urls? wonder if anybody faced this problem before! Best Regards

              Is there a way to block competitor ads from showing in YouTube embeds?

              I am running a site in WordPress and would like to know if there is a way to block competitor ads from appearing for the videos I embed to my site? (the videos are not owned or controlled by me, just embeds). Thanks..

              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?
