Why isn't my Facebook page showing up in search results?
-
When I search directly for imageworks creative facebook page on Google, I get many results - some of which are not mine and some of which are listings from other citation sites like Manta. I did a site: search and I do see that the page is indexed by Google, but it's pretty important that we get a better ranking than we currently have!
This is the Facebook url:
https://www.facebook.com/ImageWorksCreative
As part of our rebranding, we did have the URL changed from /imageworksstudio, but that was well over a month ago. I feel as though Google should have caught up by now.
Any thoughts on how we can get our FB profile onto the front page?

Thanks for that! My boss updated it quickly yesterday ... it's fixed now.
I suppose Google is just slow to catch up. We have links to FB on a lot of our other sites, but I'm going to do some extra link building for the page over the next few days. Hopefully that will help!

it's indexed for me. As for the FB page ranking, backlinks. Backlinks in mass works well to rank fb pages. Just dont forget to continue to engage your market.

Jess,
As Takeshi said, Google may still be digesting your URL change. Also, your /imageworkscreative URL shows quite a bit more engagement than your new one yet does--with 1992 likes vs. 119. So, in the mean time, be sure to work on building up those engagement signals around your new url, it's likely to help.

The page is definitely indexed by Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FImageWorksCreative
If you just changed the URL and it used to be ranking higher, then it could be that Google is still digesting the URL change. To get the page ranking higher, make sure to link to it from all of your other web properties, such as Google+.
Also, the link to your website from your FB page is broken, you probably want to fix that!

Does anyone see any merchantcircle backlinks showing up in OSE reports for themselves or their clients?
Just got around to looking for a client's link on merchantcircle and didn't see it, so I looked for some other client's links from there and they don't show up either. Am I the last one to notice this?
