4 lectures • 24min

  • What is FBO? SEO for Facebook Optimisation

    Before we create our Facebook Page for Business in the next lecture, we need to understand Facebook's newsfeed algorithm sometimes called "FBO" and how it can stop the majority (over 90%) of the "Likes" on your Page seeing your status updates. Once we understand THAT, the rest of the lectures show you how to work around FBO to get more Likes, engagement and call to actions. Understand FBO (Facebook Optimisation) and Edgerank See how the "Social Graph" (your network) impacts what you see Understand how customers are treated as target audiences by Facebook and what that means for your Page Any questions? Please ask me in Discussion Area. 151020

  • STUDENT QUESTION: 3 Keywords for Facebook Search and Recommendations

    Just a quick note about new Lecture 7 in Section 1: In the ABOUT section of the Facebook Page there is a TOPICS section - you have to choose 3 keywords for your Facebook Page. These 3 Keyword TOPICS are anchored into the FBO (Facebook Optimisation) of your Page and affect: Social Graph Search (the SEO or search engine optimisation of people searching on Facebook) so if people are searching "baking" "cooking" and "food" and they are your 3 keywords, your Page should come up in Facebook search. The RIGHT keywords will mean it will come top of Facebook Search. also the PEOPLE ALSO LIKE box on the Facebook Page (Facebook recommending your Page on other Pages).. Choose them wisely. The wrong words will mean you don't rank well on Facebook search for those keywords (Facebook will check your Page for that keyword. ). Thanks to Toby for the question in the Discussion area. Happy to answer any questions with text/pictures and/or Video in the Discussion area. Cheerio :) Laurel xxxxx #Facebook #FBO #About #Topics

  • FBO Facebook Target Audience - Targetted Communications on Facebook

    CASE STUDIES: let's analyse some Facebook Business Pages. Can you tell if Facebook knows who the Page is for? Let's see the penalty/reward in the Engagement vs Likes area! Analyse some Pages - is it clear who the Page is for? Will the Page confuse Facebook. Evaluate 3x Business Page Status Updates - who will Facebook give each one to? What makes Facebook REMOVE your content from your customers newsfeed even though they "liked" the Page? Understand why a Facebook Page cannot be all things to all people. Discussion: If you have a Page and enough Likes on it, and enough updates and want us to review it, please link to your Facebook Page in the Discussion area. You can ask more questions there too!
