          Hi

          Im trying to use the invite friends feature on Facebook pages to send a page invite to some email contacts, as per #3 in this SME recent post of FB tips: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/five-lesser-known-facebook-page-features-for-marketers

          However whenever i click the 'invite friends' option the dialogue box swirls for a bit then disapears and nothing whatsoever happens, not just not being able to see invite email options but nothing at all happens, the loading box just disapears.

          Does anyone know if this is a current know issue bug or other way of doing this so it works ? (I have tried on 3 different pages)

          Many Thanks

          Dan

                      thanks again Dmitri but i definately don't see that option. Since i don't do you agree this could be being phased out ?

                          Im not seeing it anywhere on that drop down list and have checked a couple of other pages i manage too and its just not there, do you think its being phased out and already has been for some users (also as per the penultimate comment on that SME article thread) ?

                            Oh, that's when you click on that three dots icon, it's right below "invite friends".

                                Ok, I figured it out.

                                There is a misleading and not full info on the article you linked to.

                                So, to make it work you gotta:

                                1. log out, log in as yourself;
                                2. on LEFT side column find the business page
                                3. then on cover photo, by "message" click three dots icon
                                4. click "invite friends" if you want to invite friends
                                5. click "suggest page", if you want to use email uploads

                                Works like a charm

                                  HI Dimitri

                                  yes i have also tried firefox and same issue , the loading box pops up and swirls around a bit (to indicate a dialogue box is about to load) but then just disapears.

                                  I presume if pop ups were not enabled the dialogue box would not even begin to load ?

                                  cheers

                                  dah

                                    Have you tried in different browsers? do you have pop-ups enabled?

                                      Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

                                      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

                                      Is there a Facebook Ad equivalent to Google MCC?

                                      Hi Mozzers, Really unsure if we are missing something here, but whilst trying to set-up paid ads for some of our clients on FB we have run into a significant issue. We need to be able to allow FB to debit multiple business accounts for varying ads on different pages. However every time we try to access the ads manager to set-up a new ad, FB takes us to the individuals (the person logged in to the page) account, rather than creating an ad account for that page/business individually. What are we missing? We use Google MCC for managing our PPC campaigns and so wondered if there is anything similar we can use for FB? Or any other recommendations on how to get round this without dragging each client into the office and asking them to log-in so that we can set these up? Thanks!

                                      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?

                                      How do I remove 11,000 spam facebook page likes received overnight complete with negative ratings/reviews?

                                      My page has 11,000 spammed page likes.  Only 250 are legitimate.  These spammers are leaving 1 star ratings.  Facebook is limiting the number of likes I can delete.  I can report some fake ratings as spam but, again, facebook is limiting what I see.  Any suggestions on how to proceed? Update: I found a work around for the negative ratings/reviews. I can change the category of my page to "other community" to remove the rating system from the page https://www.facebook.com/changeratings/posts/445471405558046.  That still leaves me with 11,000 illegitimate likes that are stealing away from my 250 legitimate fans from seeing our posts.  Should I start over?

                                      Is Pinterest's Embed a Pin good for SEO?

                                      I was curious if by having Pinterest embed pins on my site will add SEO value... This would be used mainly on product pages for alternative images, closeup detail, any type of image to answer a customers question. I would accompany the pin with more text as another way of adding content to the page. Example on my site: Wicker Sofa product page with Pinterest Embed live. Also attached the screenshot of the code that is used by Pinterest pin embed widget. Hoping that extra unique content + social activity repins or follows, would help my store's SEO. Thank you for your answers in advance... 3uqUz57.png
