      My Facebook page does not show up within the first 50 results of a search for my brand.  I have over 3,000 fans and am relatively active so it should be there.

      On the second page of SERPs for my brand there is a Facebook page of a spammy looking affiliate with 15 fans.  On the third page my Facebook test page appears.

      Any ideas about what happened with my page?

      Is it possible Google penalized my Facebook page - and if so, how do I fix that?

      I checked the admin again and the page is open to the public and when I do a search for "brand facebook" it appears.

      Thanks for your help!

        That seems strange. Is your Facebook page named exactly the same as your company/website? Do you link to your official page from your own website?

        If you want to get it to the first page of the SERPs for your brand, try to build a few easy links to your fan page. It shouldn't be that hard to move it up quickly on a domain that powerful.

          We link to it from our website, blog and some news articles we wrote.

          The name is "brand - kw, kw", but would adding 2 keywords after the brand really make us lose all of our Facebook rankings? That doesn't sound right.

          • How do search engines understand what social pages are official pages of my brand? If my Facebook page name is not my brand name (even though there are links from website to page and vice-versa) will that confuse search engines?

          • Has anybody else noticed that Google has made a significant change to their SERP? There is a lot of social data reported from LinkedIn, Youtube and Facebook (includes page likes and activity) when you search by company name. Thoughts anybody?
