SEO in a Minute: Facebook Page

[tweetmeme]In this SEO in a Minute video, I talk about how to optimize your Facebook page for the search engines.

Hi. I’m Gloria Rand with today’s S-E-O in a Minute tip.

You know it’s important to optimize your website. Well, guess what – if you’re using social media to market your business, it’s important to optimize that too! And today I’m going to tell you about some ways that you can optimize your Facebook page.

Now if you have more than 25 fans, the first you thing can do is get your vanity URL. So what you can do is go to facebook.com/username and come up with a good name that’s as close to your brand as possible but think carefully before once you pick a name, you’re stuck with it!
Second thing you’re going to want to do is take advantage of the about, description and general information sections on your Facebook page. This is where you can describe your business with relevant keywords. Now the about section is kind of short, but the description and general info sections have more room. Then the last thing you want to do is remember that all important backlink. So make sure you have a link to your Facebook page on your website or blog.

That’s it for this time. If you need more help with search engine optimization or social media, visit my website at www.gloriarand.com.
