          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.

                    Regards

                      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 adds a trailing slash to urls?

                        Hey Guys, we are facing a problem in our www.batuta.com with Facebook shares. Seems like because we choose to set our preferred canonical version urls to end with a trailing slash ( / ), like this one e.g.: www.batuta.com/الوجهات/إسبانيا/ Facebook adds automatically another ( / ) when trying to read the url on first share before its ever indexed in FB. Which makes Facebook think its a bad request! cause then the URL has two // at the end of it. hope this was clear. anyway, so first question: did anybody face this issue before? any solutions? Second, and might be more important: I might be forced to face the option of changing the canonical tags to be a url without a ( / ) if I will have to do this I will enforce a redirect on every url request with an ending trailing slash ( / ) to be redirected to the new canonical version without. will this be enough? how big am I supposed to suffer here? am I facing a long time with double indexed urls? wonder if anybody faced this problem before! Best Regards

                        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?

                        Facebook Like Button vs Like Box

                        We want to add the Facebook Like and Google Plus One functionality to our website but had a question. Is it better for SEO and usability to use a global Facebook Like Button for people to Like the home page of our website or a Facebook Like Box to Like our Facebook page from our website? I know that we can specify the URL in the Like Button but I wanted to get some feedback. Thanks!

                        Tool like Followerwonk for Facebook?

                        Hi For Twitter using Followerwonk you can gauge the influence on what a person/brand is using a tool like Follwerwonk helping you find the most influential twitter users based on a number of metrics.  But is there a similar tool for Facebook which shows which brands/companies Facebook sites have the most influence.  Or is the best way to gauge this is just on their number of likes? which is not really accurate

                        Fiverr offers services like 1000 likes for $5!!! (and they seem to deliver) Sounds great but what is the catch? Has anyone tried out these type of services and more importantly what are the potential penalties?
