          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

              Likes are not a ranking factor :D... so thinking they are the reason your UK Facebook page is outranking the German one in google.de is not a correct assumption.

              I would look to more classic reason, as the backlinks your UK Facebook page may have and the DE one not.

              Try to build links pointing to your German FB page from German webistes. This should be enough for making understand Google to present your DE FB page to German users instead of the UK one.

              Finally, the hreflang annotations (presence or not) do not have any influence of how your Facebook pages rank or not.

                Hi Tim,

                Thanks for your quick reply!

                I'm checking it on Google Ad preview. Settings: domain: de; Language: German, Country: Germany.-

                We had taken of hreflang due to some problems a couple weeks ago. Can this affect our facebook site as well?

                  I just wanted to check that you had tried performing these search in each locality before getting a bit worried. If you are doing the search for the FB page here in the UK it is most likely that a local UK version is displayed, where as if you are doing a search from with Germany via google.de is there a chance the DE version is shown instead? Just wanted to rule it out first.

                    Facebook.com / referral - What is it?

                    Hi Moz community! Coming to you today to ask a two fold question about a mysterious source/medium combination and also social medium data in general. First question relates to the attached image named 'Facebook Referral.' We've made sure to apply correct tags to all of our campaigns, both organic and paid, and are having a difficult time figuring out where this source/medium comes from which is a bit troubling as it actually has pulled in some revenue over the past couple of months The second question is around general Facebook data. Our Facebook business manager is vastly over reporting clicks to landing pages. For instance, we saw about 1,700 clicks to site as reported by Facebook business manager, whereas Google Analytics only registered about 950. I know data between the two channels rarely lines up perfectly, but this seems like a rather wide variance. Can someone help me to understand this, and let me know if there is anyway to reduce the occurrence of one or both of the issues we're facing. Thanks! referral.PNG

                    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

                    Facebook Outreach Tips - what to say

                    Hi, I've been shown how to do facebook outreach in my home town. I am a weight loss hypnotist. I was shown how to do outreach to possible home town clients using the facebook search feature. I go to the search and type in "Friends who like weight loss" And I get a couple of friends who have liked a major weight loss site After I've done that search, I look to the right in facebook. It has a bunch of dropdowns. I choose the same search parameters except I change it to "Live in Boise" (my town) and "Not my Friend". I get dozens of facebook users who live in Boise and are not my friends and are interested in weight loss. I can message these people (less than 30 a day) Here's the problem: I don't want to spam them. How do I get these people interested in my weight loss hypnosis program (I could really help them) by sparking up a conversation and not spamming. Everything I can think of saying seems manipulative. I don't know how to start a conversation and invite people to come in for a free sample session. My free sample session is 30 minutes and is free just to see if the client and I are a good fit. My website is bobweikel.com if that helps. How do I do this with the utmost integrity? Thank you.

                    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

                    Is there any SEO benefit to hosting your Facebook photos on your own site?

                    I will often post photos that I have taken to my Facebook page (either personal or my fan page).  Sometimes these can get lots of likes. I got thinking that perhaps I host these photos on my site (i.e. www.example.com/images/photo1.jpg) and then share that "page" on Facebook.  That way any of the likes would be counted towards my site. What do you guys think?
