Facebook Restrictions Make Your Fan Page Invisible to Search Engines
Can you find your Facebook fan page on Google?
If not, you may want to check your page settings.
In your settings, Facebook allows for you to limit the people that can find your fan page by geography and age.
What you may not know is that using these restrictions are making you invisible to Google.
Facebook has no control over the public internet. For this reason, adding these kind of restrictions to your fan page effectively closes it off from the public internet. And if you are trying to market using a Facebook fan page, this defeats its purpose. To increase your find-ability, we recommend that you remove any restrictions you may have turned on.
Here's how:
Facebook Facebook Permissions
- Go to your fan page to access the Admin Panel.
- Click on Manage. Then click on Edit Page.
- Check that you are on the Manage Permissions landing page
- From there you should make sure that the Country Restrictions box is empty and that the Age Restrictions box is set to Anyone(13+).
These are the most liberal visibility settings for Facebook and will allow you to optimize your fan page's SEO.
Are there any other settings within Facebook, or any other social media platform, that you know to watch out for?
