Having Your Facebook Page Indexed In Google

By Arthur Howard


Businesses rely on online presence and one way of achieving this is through Facebook. Getting Facebook page indexed in Google can be a challenge. Facebook pages in their default state are pretty worthless but you can customize your page with an almost unlimited number of applications (apps) and third party tools. You absolutely should customize your page to set you apart from ordinary and boring fan pages and to establish your brand online.

One of the coolest features of fan pages is that you can have an unlimited number of fans or "Likes". Your personal profile limits you to 5,000 friends which is usually more than enough for most people but it isn't nearly enough for most businesses.

A Facebook page does allow you to create images and insert all of your relevant information about your company's products and services. You can do specialized programming with it such as HTML and FBML (Facebook markup language, similar to HTML). But overall, you must still work within the confines of the page and are not allowed full 100% customization control over the look of the page.

Here's a quick example: Title: Facebook fan page name Meta Description: FB fan page name & About page Try including Facebook fan page name in your H1, H2 tags. Of course, this is not to say that Facebook pages are useless. In fact, they can be very useful as a compliment to your company website. By linking to your Facebook page from your website, you can drive users to your page and you can communicate with them through the social networking features which Facebook provides. It is highly recommended to have a Facebook page in conjunction with your website.

These brief set of guidelines work across all Social media platforms including, Linked in, YouTube and Twitter, they all benefit from the use of keywords and key phrases , H1, H2 tags, inbound and outbound links. Don't forget to promote your websites through all of these sources. That pretty much wraps us up for getting Facebook page indexed in Google and other search engines. I really hope this short guide has helped. If you have any questions then please fire away.
