    Hi,

    Our business spans across many countries and in order to maintain brand consistency, we were contemplating to create regional fan pages on Facebook. The structure would be like parent-child relation i.e. one main page and other regional pages. Is it possible? We searched for it but could't find something concrete except that in 2012 Facebook was testing similar concept.

    Regards

      Actually you may think in building a Global page on Facebook. As you can read in the page I linked, with Global Pages:

      Each brand's Global Pages structure will include local Pages for specific markets (single- or multi-country regions) and a default Page for all other markets. More details on this new framework:

      • One global brand identity. Users from all countries will see the same Page name (translated into their local language), fan count, and People Talking About This (PTAT).
      • One URL. Brands can promote a single URL in all off-Facebook campaigns, and users will be automatically directed to the best version of the Page for them.
      • Global insights. Admins of the main Page will see insights for all global users in one easy-to-view dashboard.

      The problem is that the requirement really are for strong global brands, as you can see in detail in this post.

      Honestly, I looked a lot into the Facebook Business pages and I was not able to see an explicit link for creating a global page. So, I consider right what some experts say that you have to contact Facebook directly via email.

      However, if your brand is global, but not with such a big budget so to afford a Global Brand Page, then the only solution is creating as many regional Brand pages as you need.

      This is very easy. Just create a page normally, but then indicate in the creation process the region your Page targets for each regional pages.

        Hi Shailendra

        What you are referencing seems to be Global brands on Facebook. This was something that had quite a bit of chatter in 2012. This doesn't appear to be something that Facebook is focusing on at the moment, but there are things you can do.

        What you're going to want to do:

        • Go to Create a Page in Facebook

        • Select the type of page you want to create

        • Select your category and name

        • Fill out your information

        • Under "4 Preferred Page Audience" you will be able to pick your audience based on...

        • Location

        • Age

        • Interests

        • etc.

        Now, if you have multiple regions you work in, it may be in your best interest to create a couple pages with information specific to that region - products, contact information, location, staff, website (if that's the case), etc.

        Might I suggest you also look into Advertising on Facebook as well. This gives you the ability to target specific people on Facebook through a paid medium, like demographics, behavior, connections, or of course, location! Read more here.

        Hopefully this helps you - let me know if you have any more questions or comments! Good luck!

            Yes, it is still possible. I see this features utilized by a number of brands in my vertical.

            The redirect is automatic, based on location, and underneath the brand name and segment there's a link with the wording "Redirected from [main_page_name]".

            The Like count is shared, and if a user mouses over the "redirected from..." link text they see a pop-up with the header of the primary page.

            Definitely do-able, and I would say increasingly popular for major brands with a strong international presence.

            Cheers!

              Thanks for the reply Houses! Probably I framed the question incorrectly.

              Please visit http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/facebook-testing-globalregional-fan-pages-that-share-a-single-like-count/279822 page. It dates backs to 2012 but i want to know if something similar is still possible.

                Hi,

                It makes sense to have a Facebook page for every country you operate in because you can then talk in the right language to your fans and post content that would be of regional interest to them.

                Hope that helps

                  Facebook Name Change and Effect on SEO

                  Hey Mozzers! Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter. Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them. Any one had any experience in this area?

                  How can I change the Facebook Page shown in the SERP

                  Hi everyone, got a quick question in regard to our Facebook page and its appearance on the Google SERP. We have individual Facebook pages for every country and language. Unfornately the UK site is ranking in the German SERP rather then our Germany Facebook Site. The UK site is way older and has much more likes which most likely explains why this page is (still) outranking our, fairly new site (couple of months). Is there a way, to push my German Facebook Site in front of the UK Site in Germany? Any advice or tipp is much appreciated. Thanks

                  Way to reset Facebook page Reach sending patterns

                  I have a client that posts a bunch of really poorly formatted and nonengaging content on her a Facebook business page. This has caused her reach to be very low, despite having 9000 real followers. Due to a history of poor content and therefore low engagement Facebook just does not send her stuff out anymore. Is there a way to change that? I heard you could reset that notion by staying off the page for a couple of weeks and then beginning to post once more with better stuff. Is that remotely true?

                  What do you do when your Facebook page is Unpublished?

                  The page in question has been there for about 5 years and has about 80 followers. It is for a business that sells steel plate (B2B) and everything is totally compliant with Facebook T&C as far as I can tell. It's been unpublished with the statement "Your Page has been unpublished and it cannot be published again." We did an appeal about 6 weeks ago and heard absolutely nothing.... Generally we got no likes, no comments and reached about 20 people with each post. So I am lost as to why we were banned and lost as to what we do next It's fine if they want to unpublish - it's their site - what's frustrating is the arbitrariness, the lack of information as to why it was banned and lack of communication. It's fine if it's a spam site (except if you are a spammer) but I'm selling boring steel plates..... pwqkaz1xzkx7myx2ncwn

                  Where do the Facebook star ratings come from?

                  I have a client whose FB page has a 5 star rating (apparently from 5 reviews) but I have no clue from where they are aggregated? I tried Google-ing for answers with no luck! Any idea? This is the page I am referring to... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Partners-in-Womens-Health-of-Jupiter-LLC/310303442400699?bookmark_t=page

                  Facebook Blocking Site

                  This is been a big annoyance for me. My site was on wordpress before and was infected with malware at one point. We were blocked by major AV, Google, and etc but we got the infection cleaned up quickly and got unblocked. Problem now is that Facebook, we are still blocked on. We try to post a link and says we are harmful. We got unblocked from facebook and we posted but than they blocked us again. We have submitted multiple requests on that form but got no answer. As a marketing agency, having our facebook page blocked to our site is bad. What can we do in this situation? We have no direct contact with anyone at facebook nor do they reply to our requests. I do own a .net to my domain, should we start using that instead of .com or what? We really need to find a way out of this. It is hurting our reputation.

                  Removing Facebook Pages Without Admin Access

                  A few years ago someone started a Facebook page for my company. It has about 15 fans and is not active, however it is ranking in Google because of it's age. I want to delete the page (so that the real official Facebook page will rank instead). However, I do not have access to the original admin account and Facebook is not responding to my removal requests. Any suggestions for what I should do? Thanks!
