      Yes, facebook pages do get indexed due to the social integration and real time index at Google. There is no guarantee of ranking, but yes, it does get indexed.

        These responses are great, and it's good to know that I'm not loosing my mind (because I thought they were indexed" now how do I troubleshoot a page that doesn't look like it's updates are appearing in Google Search (and I want them to)?

          Hi! We're going through some of the older unanswered questions and seeing if people still have questions. Were you able to get that page's updates appearing in the search index? If so, can you share any lessons learned with us? Thanks!

            I have ranked for several of mine updates. Its hard to think SEO in an update though. My fans tend to fall out of longer updates.

              That's useful to know, I thought Google's indexing was the same speed for all sites, are there any best practices for Facebook updates to potentially add SEO value to Facebook updates?

                I would think it has to do with the profile being public or not and how popular/used the page is......

                    Facebook Page updates are indexed real-time by Google Bots. What do you mean by troubleshooting it? Ranking would be based on social relevance and activity within the account (i.e.: likes and comments on the posts that you are trying to rank high) Obviously, a facebook page with 100k followers, and an average of 1000 comments per post would have higher social relevancy than a page with a few hundred followers and a couple of comments per page. Can you elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish?

                      Zack, this thread is about a year and a half old, so you may not get a response and the question may not still be relevant to the OP at this point.

                        Yes for sure.

                        I have tried posting articles into my facebook page and it was indexed.

                        Not to mentioned the number of fans are shown up almost live on Google searches 🙂
