I was wondering if there are any tips to help a FB page rank well for a given search term?
Any help welcome!

To further enhance how a crawler sees it, or any webpage, you can turn off CSS and browse as Googlebot.
Use the default user agent plug in for Firefox
Use the web developer plug in to turn off CSS
Also, shutting off JavaScript is good too.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the quick response. IS it possible to add GA code to the page somewhere?
Thanks.

I'll share two ideas and hope others can add to them.
1. Treat the page like any other web page. A search engine crawler will.
2. Log out of facebook and view the page. Ensure the page is accessible while not logged in to facebook, and all the content is visible. The way you see the page while logged out is how the crawler would see it.

Invite a Facebook user to Like a Company Page
Hi All, Was looking at our Facebook company page last night and was going through our recent posts and noticed that the individuals that liked our posts had an "Invite" button next to their name. I've been testing this and is it true that I can only send an Invite to like my company page if I'm actually friends with the user? The "Invite" button is there for every individual that has liked a post on our page, but I've only had success sending the invite to people I'm connected with. The frustrating thing about this is that the button changes to "Invited" regardless of whether or not they have actually received the invite.

Facebook Virality Metrics Compared To Open Rates
I'm trying to put Facebook's Virality Metrics in a framework I understand better. In email marketing, if you consistently get 25% to 30% open rates on newsletters, you're doing solid in most industries. What would you all say the equivalent for that is in Facebook Virality? Thanks, Ruben P.S. If it's drastically higher than 4% - 6%, I'm going to be very sad.

Getting more fans on Facebook
Does anyone have any tips or experience on how they increased their Facebook fan base? I work in the oil/fuel industry and getting people to like your Facebook page is quite difficult because our customers are mostly middle-aged men, who if statistics are to be believed aren't the most active on social media anyway. I've been doing regular posts for the past couple of weeks, liking other pages and joining conversations but don't seem to be getting any increase in followers. Does anyone have any advice, ideas or examples of what you did that worked? Thanks
