How to get more Facebook likes
-
Hello,
We're doing a $5/day like campaign with our cover photo on this Facebook page.
What tips do you have in getting more likes, we're only getting like 2 a day. We need lots.
Themes:
Healing with alternative healing methodologies (orgonite - healing devices, MMS - a powerful supplement)
Helping wolves
Helping bees
I know we're an interesting niche and hard to advise. Here's our site. What tips do you have, just for Facebook?

Hi Bob,
I don't believe the price of what you are selling has a significant impact on the cost of ad clicks. The audience definition you use along with the relevance score of your ads is what will have the most significant impact in determining how much you will pay for ad clicks.
Whether or not your ad campaign will be successful in selling a $50 product, I cannot say. There are a lot more factors that go into this. Generally, I like to use social ad campaigns to promote content or even just as a remarketing campaign so I know I am only reaching users who are familiar with the brand/website I am promoting.
Let me know if that helps, I may have misunderstood your question!

Troy,
Can you sell $50 products this way? How much does this cost?

Hi Bob,
I definitely agree with the comments above to try a new banner image and connect with existing communities.
To answer your question about what can be done to improve your ad campaign on Facebook, I would suggest testing out a new bid strategy. If you haven't experimented with a low CPM bid then give it a try with one of your more refined audience targets. If you've noticed any demographic trends from your current like base then you can also try to refine audience targeting based on that. I'd also suggest testing out multiple audience targets, sometimes going a bit broader with a low CPM bid will produce a lot of likes at very low costs. However, keep in mind that these are not always going to be the most engaged users.
You can also work on improving your relevance scores, if your ads are getting low relevance scores after the first 500 impressions you can pause them and create duplicates, once you've done this a few times you should be able to determine a good benchmark relevance score which will be the lowest you are willing to settle for. If you can improve your relevance scores by even just a few points it should have a significant impact on your cost per like!
To sum things up - Try new bidding methods, test audience targets and don't settle for <4 relevance scores on your ads!
Hope that helps, let us know if you are able to see any improvements!

Be active in relevant communities and share the post there.
@ the beginning you can get a lot in communities and you get the right (interested) audience.
They will like, maybe share and comment in that community - you need to monitor it. I made hmmm 16 likes in two hours that way - just to show a client what to do.Its working in some topics in germany pretty well - dont know how it would be in your case.
(The banner is really not the best for ads - like moosa said.)

I am not very good with facebook Ads but as a user if I will look at your banner, I probably will not convert and like your page. Why not share some information that is valuable to your targeted audience and instead of boosting page why not boost post that contains some valuable information. I am not saying you will be able to get tons and tons of like but atleast the results will be better than 2 a day.
Just a thought!

How to get an Updated Logo in Search Results?
I'm having trouble getting a new logo in search results. My company, RealSelf, updated our logo over a year ago and both Google and Bing continue to show our old logo in image results. Worst of all, this means that when people look for our logo, they find the wrong one and include that in new, external content. Here's a list of what we've tried: We've modified all the logos on our site with the new one (not including a few PDF whitepapers from before the redesign Added schema.org logo and organization markup Featured a high resolution image on our "Logos" page (top result for "RealSelf logo") Verified wikipedia has the proper image Modified all social profile logos: Twitter, Facebook, G+, etc.. Begun outreach efforts to have high ranking image results update our logo I'm wondering if there are other ideas besides getting more creative/successful with our outreach tactics?

Why does our Facebook not show up when searching for our business name?
Our Facebook is titled NJ & PA Personal Injury Attorney Richard P. Console Jr., and the url is Facebook.com/myinjuryattorney, and our website is www.consoleandhollawell.com. Because of the different names, we put social schema on our site which we thought would help Google associate the two. It doesn't seem to be working as we are not showing up in the serp's when searching for "Console & Hollawell Facebook" and even "Richard Console Facebook" Could anyone give any insight as to why? Thank you!

Should we have customers like our URL or our Facebook brand page?
(Note: main question in bold) I know this post basically establishes that Facebook shares are not a strong cause of increased rankings. But what about likes? I've searched and read through the forum and YouMoz blog but haven't really found this question answered. We just redesigned our site and we're implementing sharing options in the booking and order completion processes - should we point the Facebook Like button to like our URL or our Facebook brand page (currently with 3,800+ likes)? Seems that a like of the URL would be more direct ranking value (what we're going for), but according to that same post mentioned above, Google doesn't crawl or index FB wall pages... so is all Facebook activity - shares, url likes, brand page likes - for naught? (at least for now, till Google starts using that info)
