    I am trying to figure out fb:admin tag.  I noticed that Moz uses a person's from hubspot,  is this because hubspot connects into their facebook data?

    Who should my company set it to?   Any guides would be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Chris

      Unfortunately, our site was never set up right after our rebrand to moz.com so I can't see the data and it's not something I've used before so I cannot give a recommendation on value of data. Just because we're not using it doesn't mean it wouldn't be or couldn't be of value.

        That's exactly the issue we were working through, How you have to set the FB:Admin to a personal page and can't set it to a company page opens up for that sort of thing.     If you guys didn't even notice that it was set to an ex-employee,  is the data received even that helpful to warrant using the tag in the first place?

            And I did some digging into ours at Moz, and the person that it's set to used to work at Moz. So we should probably fix that.

              Hi Chris,

              Thanks for your question! The fb:admins tag should include the individual Facebook user ID (fbid) for the administrator of your company's Facebook page. If you have multiple admins for your company's Facebook page, make sure that you include each admin's fbid in a separate fb:admins tag. Step-by-step instructions for doing this are available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/platforminsights/domains.

              I hope that helps!

              Christy 🙂

                Google SERP shows wrong (and inappropriate) thumbnail for Facebook videos?

                Hello I'm running into a strange issue with at least one of my client's video. The video is posted on Facebook. When searching for the video on Google, the SERP shows a completely wrong, and inappropriate, thumbnail image. (And in one case the preview video starts playing within Google SERP.) It also seems that Google is indexing various countries' facebook page for the same video separately (it-it.facebook.com, fr-fr.facebook.com, etc). Note that only the thumbnail and preview video within Google are wrong; if you click on the link, you see the correct video and page. I hesitate to divulge the actual client video, but there are some reports on Google's search community about the same behavior: Here's one that stargs back in March: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/33760205?hl=en and a more recent one: https://support.google.com/websearch/thread/71452151?hl=en It looks increasingly like a bug in some google algorithm, but nobody at google seems to acknowledge that. I've unpublished the original video from FB and submitted an 'outdated content' removal to Google, which is pending. In the meantime, my questions for our group of experts here: Has anyone else experienced this and any other suggestionso n how to fix? If we assume that this is not a google bug: how could a malicious actor or black-hat SEO influence Google's algorithms to cause this? Thanks, mickey

                Company FB Page Automatically Friend-Requesting Admins' Contacts

                Hola, So today we added 3 or 4 admins to our company FB page. Our company FB consists of a 'profile' and that 'profile' has create a FB 'page' for the business. All of a sudden, the profile (not the company 'page') started to get a new friends. We thought this was weird as we weren't using this for promotion, we were using the company FB page. Anyway, when we dug a little deeper, we found the profile had automatically sent friend requests to all of the admins' contacts (around 2,000 people!). When we checked the friend request page, we realised we can't cancel all the requests, they have to be done individually! Why would FB do this? It might not be so bad if it was actually inviting the admins' contacts to 'like' the business page, but it's just adding them to the main profile's friend list. The only solution we can find is to deactivate/delete the profile and keep the company page with all the admin attached. Any ideas on this one? It's very weird and now it just looks like our fleldgling business is spamming people! Cheers, Lewis

                How can you tell if a competitors' FB post was boosted?

                Does anyone know how to identify if a FB post was boosted or not? Does FB or a third party software have that  capability? Thanks, Ruben

                How Can I do SEO for a Escorts Website?

                So here comes the hard part of working with SEO.... I've been doing SEO for a quite long time now and as far as I concern, it has been working and that's why I can tell people I'm a SEO Manager! It was all good until 3/4 months ago when I got this client that wanted me to do SEO for his Escort Agency. I've analysed his website and came across some structure error, poor linking and so on... I've started by reformulating his website, re-structuring his urls, keeping good pages and throwing alway the poor content ones, requested some website owners to remove links to that website and so on.... All good and sorted, but when it came to do the off-page optimisation it  became a nightmare! It's pretty easy to get links for a clothing website or any other (not "obscure") kind of websites, but no serious and authority websites would link to an escort agency; It's also very easy to create something funny and nice and post it on a page of your website to get people sharing and liking on facebook, but again very hard to get people to share and like things posted by an escort agency... You can't really advertise on escorts directories and use keywords on the ad because godfather google would penalize you.... I really don't know what to do anymore, so I will list some questions and if guys SEO experts could help me out, I would be so grateful!!! How can I get people linking to the website without paying for it? How can I get good authority links to this kind of website? How can I advertise on paid directories without being penalised by google? How can i get shares and likes on social network websites? The website has about 3000 pages, been online since 2010, have at least 3 lengthy articles posted a day! Please guys help me out with this case that is making me loose my nights of sleep... If you guys need the website address and the targeted keyword I can PM you (I dont know if the forum allows me to post it here) Thank You so much for the help in advance....

                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!
