Re: [h-cost] Are you guys willing to test a Facebook business page?

2011-03-28 Thread Elena House
I've Liked it as well, and as you probably know, you're well over the
25 fan threshold by now.  So, I tried searching for you, and learned
that while a search for  throws up a bunch of
completely irrelevant results, a search for  results in your
business page as the first hit.  Likewise, searching for <"Lavolta
Press"> [in quotes] leads to only your page.  So, it is a Facebook
problem, just not one caused by <25 fans!

I wasn't logged in.  I rarely visit Facebook.  All I did was follow 
Fran's link to the page.

Yes, we have some stuff to add but have been waiting till we are sure 
people can actually read the page without being given the URL. Hopefully 
getting the domain name/business name will make us visible.


Thanks,

OK, despite my doubts, my-husband-the-programmer set up a Facebook 
business page. He set up a basic page and a catalog, using other 
publishers on Facebook for examples as to what to put on our page and how.


However, after several days our business page is still not searchable; 
therefore it is effectively invisible. Facebook's documentation does not 
mention the problem and they have no live help. People on the user

 We think the procedure is:

Log into your personal account.

Use the standard browser method to go to:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lavolta-Press/198104640220248

A Like button should appear next to the title.

When you click it, you will get a captcha dialog to verify that you are

Once you are through that, you are linked.
