Tip #7: Use Facebook’s New Graph Search
Last year when Facebook rolled out the new ‘Timeline’, it unleashed a whirlwind of privacy concerns, as you could now scroll back through years of Facebook posts on an individual’s page. The story is quite different for businesses, though, as Facebook Graph Search may naturally lead new consumers to your business page. The new Graph Search is still in beta testing, but if you want to try it, while you’re logged into Facebook, visit this page and sign up for the waiting list.
Ramon recently wrote and article on PC World that outlines what the new graph search is and how it can benefit your business’ Facebook page.  Here a few tips from that article on how to prepare your business Page for Graph Search and what you might expect from it:
- Use Graph Search to identify pools of customers who already like you and might buy more from you.
- Use it to identify types of prospective customers who you might want to engage with your sponsored posts.
- Ensure your page is rich in information, so people searching Facebook can find your business. Make sure the “About†section of your Facebook page is filled out, complete with business hours and a full description of your services or products. Include the URL of your website to direct customers there.
