SEO: Do You Need More Facebook Friends?

April 5th, 2010 by

Facebook can help you to again exposure and build awareness for your brand, communicate with your target audience and drive relevant traffic to your website.

For Facebook to be an in important part of your SEO campaign, you must aim to get it noticed by as many Facebook users as possible. If others are not aware of your profile, they are not going to visit your Facebook page, learn about your business and possibly become a customer of your business.

There are many ways to attract interest in your Facebook page and the most effective way for you to do this may depend on the type of business you are running. If you are working with SEO specialists on your SEO campaign, they will advise you on which methods you should be using.

However, one technique which is often used successfully is making your Facebook profile fun. Many businesses rely on information to attract attention and hold the interest of their readers and believe if they give others the facts, they will immediately be interested in what they have to say. In some instances this is true but if this type of content is continuously created, it is highly likely your profile will be viewed as boring and dull.

When using social networking websites such as Facebook, you do not want others within the community to find your content boring. If they do, they won’t visit your page or your website.

Fun content can help to keep your followers engaged with your business. You must remember that Facebook is not just about promoting your products and services as much as possible but is about interacting with your target audience and developing relationships with them. Try to appeal to your target audience by creating fun and interesting content which they will enjoy.

Competitions are a great way to add a bit of excitement to your profile. A relevant competition with a great prize can drive a lot of traffic to your page and get others talking about your business. The prize doesn’t have to be huge and expensive, internet users enjoy online competitions and many just like taking part.

Quizzes are another fun addition to a Facebook profile. A large number of internet users regularly enjoy taking part in fun quizzes and like testing their own knowledge and skills. A quiz on your page does not have to be complicated but does have to be fun, engaging and relevant to your business in some way. A quiz can help attract traffic to your Facebook page regularly and keep them there too.

If you try to include fun elements within your Facebook page alongside informative and useful content, this will help to increase the number of friends you have within the Facebook community. Increasing these numbers will help you to achieve your main objectives of using Facebook as part of your SEO campaign.

We at SEO Consult can help you to create and develop a successful Facebook profile. We can show you how to use social networking websites effectively to help your business.

    Thank you very much for this. I am inspired. I am starting to post about fun quizzes about travel and stuffs since I blog about travel. I didn’t think that it will indeed increase traffic significantly from social media like Facebook.

    Kudos! ;-)
