3 Important Updates From Facebook and Google That Will Change Your Business

3 Important Updates From Facebook and Google This Week That Will Change The Way You Do Business

LINESPACE

A - Facebook release 5 different admin roles with different admin rights.

What does that mean for you?
That means you now can decide how you want to delegate functions and responsibilities for managing your Facebook Business Page while maintaining control of permissions and rights for each of the administrators instead of giving them all  the same level of rights. This is especially helpful if you outsource your marketing of Facebook to external consultants or agencies.

B - Facebook now allows you to schedule status updates ahead of time - for up to 6 months and in increments of 10 minutes. You need to schedule your updates at least 10 minutes after the time you create the update. Why is this useful? There are many good reasons you may want to schedule your status updates (check out this post).

If you have been using third party apps to do this you would have noticed that less of your status updates reach your audience. With the new feature which is from within Facebook, I am going to guess that Facebook will give preference to posts scheduled with this way than those done using third party apps.

At the moment, the "reach" count is not shown if you use Buffer or Hootsuite but it is shown when I use Facebook's internal scheduling function.

C - Google just dropped us a another piece of news after the recent Google Penguin update.

Your Google Local Business Listing will soon be a thing of the past. Yes, Google is retiring its very own Google Local Pages and replacing it with Local Google+ Page.

Ok That is a mouthful. But what does that mean to you?
If you are a local business or know someone who has a local business then you will be affected in these ways:

1 -Ranking on local search will take into consideration social factors gathered on your new Google+ Local Page (on top of the existing factors).

2 - Entries on these pages will be indexed by Google, that means Google+ Local Page will help rank your business in search results.

How To Schedule Facebook Posts Without Third Party App

How To Schedule Facebook Posts from Within Facebook without Third Party App

Do you sometimes want to schedule posts ahead of time so your status can be updated over night (to cater to readers in a different time zone). You many also want to do this if you are vacation so you can still communicate with your audience with a little planning.

Are you using apps like Buffer or Hootsuite to do this now and reaching less fans because these are third party apps and not internal to Facebook?

Now you have a better solution. Facebook just released a function that helps you with time managing the scheduled status updates. A handy time management tool from within Facebook.

And the cool thing is that you can also scheduled photos, videos as well as text updates. I have a short video that shows you "How" you can do that. But before I show you the video here are my findings from testing this feature.

 
- Schedules text are shows on Facebook app as well as the Facebook mobile site (that is m.facebook.com)

Facebook Adds Admin Roles With New Admin Functions

Facebook Add Admin Roles With The New Admin Functions And Permissions.

 

Facebook just released new Admin features allowing administrators to have different roles. This is useful if you are having different people help out with different functions for managing the business page. 

The 5 new roles are

- Manager
- Content Creator
- Moderator
- Advertiser and
- Insight Analyst

What that means is that the different functions and jobs can now be performed independently by the different people with different roles and access rights.

This is particularly useful if the business outsource management of the Facebook Page to an agency

Businesses and brands can now delegate analytical and advertising work to certain people, say agencies and moderating and posting tasks to say in -house employees. Original post Here.
