Invite a Facebook user to Like a Company Page
Hi Brandon! I've been using and loving this feature on Facebook. From my experience, you're able to invite any and every person who reacts to your content on Facebook. I've seen great success with it since launch, and it has certainly given us a huge boost to our followers. These are not people that are friends with the admin on Facebook; these are just engaged users. As for the "invited" issue, I have sent people an invite, but they may not have clicked the notification. I've had my team test it out for me, and it seems that it gives a notification for the user to like the page. Whether or not they click that notification and follow-through is on them. If they haven't received the invite, I would have them update the app. If that doesn't work, I'd check their business support forum for further help.

Translated Videos for YouTube
Hi Brandon, It isn't possible to target YouTube channels by location, so I wouldn't recommend creating and maintaining several different channels. Given that you seem to be talking about videos which are designed to convert (or are viewed close to the point when a customer does convert), I'd actually suggest that YouTube is not the right platform for you. The videos that you're putting all this effort into are going to cause youtube.com to rank—not your website. And the click-through rates from YouTube to your site will be poor. To really get the most from this kind of video, use a service like Wistia, because it'll allow you to host the videos on your own site, and get credit for that in search results. Phil Nottingham gave another answer on this forum which explains this really well. In a nutshell, YouTube is good at mass reach, spreading a message, raising your profile—think "Dollar Shave Club"—but performs poorly for video content that's designed to convert. Very few people will click through from product description videos on YouTube, so you'll leak traffic unnecessarily. For product descriptions, demos, etc, you're better hosting it on Wistia and embedding on your site. This will also allow you to fully control geo-targeting, because you can use hreflang on your product pages. Let's say that I have a UK shop in the /en-GB/ folder, and a French shop in /fr-FR/. I can now have the same product listed in each, using the appropriate video and translated description, and use hreflang to tell Google that these pages serve an equivalent function for users in those different locations.

Internationalization guides for subfolder structure
Hi Gianluca, I also have a translation for Latin American Spanish, what is the best way to target that? Do I need a site for each country? Or should I just call it "es" and use the same site for each country that I need to target?

Developing supporting content for main ideas
As long as all the pages have real value (and it sounds like you have that covered) I think it makes sense to have an index of all webinars, AND to link a webinar to a blog post or other piece of content if it expands on the ideas in that post or page. Depending on the goals and path of the user, both options should provide value.

Marketing webinars and other resources
Hi there. Well, there are several things you can do to avoid cannibalization: When creating pages for individual webinars - do not post/duplicate content from product pages, just write a description what webinar is about + typical info about webinar - times, speaker info etc. If you do post duplicate content from product pages - use either meta robots or robots.txt to prevent indexing those pages. Add canonical links from these webinar pages to product pages to "redirect" all the juice and rankings. I think these are the ways to do it, #1 is the way I'd approach it. Hope this helps.

What is the best way to handle annual events on a website?
Thank you Paul, This is exactly what I needed. I've been trying to push us in this direction but it's sometimes hard to break old habits. We might even be able to save a bit of money going this route. Thank again for the input! -Brandon

Canonical in Moz crawl report
The page is actually a Registration form that is flagged for not having a Meta Description. So if I give the page a meta description will all of my registration form pages with query string parameters be removed from the report? Or are notices still flagged as "Medium Priority"?

Moz campaign for a subdomain with no home page
Hi Brandon! Sorry to hear you're having trouble setting up your campaign. There are a number of reasons the subdomain in question might be inaccessible. It's possible the crawler is being blocked on a server level, or that AWS is blocked, or that the page is returning another sort of server/client error. We're happy to help diagnose this if you write into help@moz.com with details about the specific domain you're trying to enter!

Best Link Data to Review
If a site over links to itself then they are most likely creating a bad user experience. When it comes to internal links, I would always but more priority on taxonomy and the user experience, the SEO would be a result of that. Natural, diverse links from highly trusted sources is what comes to mind when I think about link building.
