Facebook Page not in Search
-
My Facebook page does not show up within the first 50 results of a search for my brand. I have over 3,000 fans and am relatively active so it should be there.
On the second page of SERPs for my brand there is a Facebook page of a spammy looking affiliate with 15 fans. On the third page my Facebook test page appears.
Any ideas about what happened with my page?
Is it possible Google penalized my Facebook page - and if so, how do I fix that?
I checked the admin again and the page is open to the public and when I do a search for "brand facebook" it appears.
Thanks for your help!

We link to it from our website, blog and some news articles we wrote.
The name is "brand - kw, kw", but would adding 2 keywords after the brand really make us lose all of our Facebook rankings? That doesn't sound right.

That seems strange. Is your Facebook page named exactly the same as your company/website? Do you link to your official page from your own website?
If you want to get it to the first page of the SERPs for your brand, try to build a few easy links to your fan page. It shouldn't be that hard to move it up quickly on a domain that powerful.

Facebook targeting on Organic
Hi I am fully aware of how to do facebook paid advertising but I follow a page called: https://www.facebook.com/GiveMeSport/ They know that I am a Liverpool fan (might a filled out a survey once or some other way, but they know I support the greatest football team on the planet) however they only ever show me Liverpool articles in my feed and they are organic. They post a lot more but i never see any of it. Does anyone know how they are able to do this as I would love to segment people on my site and target them accordingly. Thanks in Advance Andy

Google Plus Company Page Verification
Hi How do you test successful G+ company page/publisher integration/verification if using the less technical methods such as linking between the Home page and the G+ company page instead of adding code to the head section? Since i take it the google structured data testing tool cant work in these cases since no code on the head section ! Is it best to add the code anyway ? I note my clients still not achieving a knowledge graph card/section in the search results for a branded search but i have heard that doesnt come until you have at least hundreds of followers and/or G+ interactions. All Best

Opinions on offering an incentive/discount for Facebook sharing
I often see sites offering a discount for liking their Facebook page, but very rarely do I see sites offering a discount for sharing a link or their page. What are your opinions of this, is it something that Facebook could frown upon? Are people likely to just share, get the discount and then remove the post etc?

Anyone do SEO for facebook business pages? I'm having trouble with timeline layout.
I am working on my facebook business page and am frustrated with the new "timeline" facebook layout which really does not make sense as a business page. I have not found a way to change it to a traditional layout and have read some posts that said facebook does not allow you to go back from timeline. Does anyone have a good layout suggestions for a facebook business page with SEO in mind? Thanks.
