Facebook SEO: 15 tactics for better visibility in 2024 – Hootsuite

Facebook SEO isn’t just part of a well-rounded digital marketing diet — it’s the key to unlocking more reach.
Social media SEO should be part of any ambitious marketer’s repertoire, but today, we’re diving into Facebook-specific tactics. That’s right — we’re cracking open the secret recipe to Facebook SEO!
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the ins and outs of Facebook SEO and give you plenty of tips you can implement today to better your reach.
Facebook SEO is the practice of optimizing Facebook content to increase your reach, discoverability, and visibility on the platform.
Social SEO is a relatively new practice, but it’s grounded in the same principles as traditional SEO, which is the process of getting your site to rank higher on search engine results pages (SERPs).
Facebook search engine optimization is essentially the same idea but within the walls of Facebook. In both cases, it’s all about working with the algorithm to make sure your content rises to the top.
Plus, if your page is optimized well enough, it can even rank outside of Facebook and show up in the Google search results.
Here’s why Facebook SEO matters for your business:
Download a free social SEO checklist and follow pro tips for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn to get your posts seen by more people.
When it comes to Facebook SEO, you need to be strategic. You can’t just publish content and set up your profile all willy-nilly. That’s a recipe for a flop.
Instead, consider these Facebook SEO tactics your secret weapon to climb the feed.
Names are important. Anyone who was made fun of in elementary school can tell you that (coming from a Smallween, I mean, Colleen herself).
For SEO purposes, names play a major role in your Page’s searchability.
When you choose your Facebook Page’s name (which may be obvious), you must communicate who you are. If it doesn’t feel too spammy, add in what you do after (i.e., [your business name] + [your offering]).
Search engines and social platforms love relevant keywords, so if you can fit one into your Facebook Page name that also answers what you do, you’re golden.
Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop is an example of a good SEO and Facebook Page name collab. It says who the brand is (Mellow Johnny’s) and what they do (Bike Shop), which is the main keyword someone is likely to search for.

Your Page’s username is also important for SEO purposes. The username is what’s used for your Page’s URL (more on that below), which will show up in the search results.
It’s also perfectly acceptable to just have your business name as your Facebook Page name, too.
Flower Beds Farm, for example, would read very awkwardly if they were to include keywords after their Page name. Flower Beds Farm, Vancouver Island Tourist Hotspot, sounds… wrong.
Source: Flower Beds Farm
When in doubt, go with what reads naturally.
SEO is designed to best serve human beings with the pages they are searching for, so you should always aim to sound natural. Write for people, not the machine, and the machine will reward you.
Psstt: Don’t think your username is search-friendly? Follow these steps to change your username on Facebook.
As we mentioned above, your username plays a role in Facebook SEO, and one of its primary functions is as your Page’s URL.
When you first create your Facebook Page, you will be assigned a generic URL that looks like a not-so-pretty jumble of numbers and characters. Antisocial Skateboard Shop, for example, hasn’t changed theirs yet, so it looks like so:
Source: Antisocial Skateboard Shop
(Antisocial Skateboard Shop: If you’re reading this, change your generic address to a vanity URL!)
To improve your searchability, change the default string of nonsense into a vanity URL. Vanity URLs are customized web addresses; like vanity plates, you decide what yours says.
Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop opted for just “Mellow Johnny’s” as their username. It’s short and easy to remember.
Source: Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop
To create your custom Page URL, you simply have to change your Facebook username, which is under your Settings tab > Page setup > View Page Username, then Edit. Use something short and branded, and attach a keyword.
If a customer has seen your business on another social media platform or even in person, they’ll look for the same logo or branding when searching for you on Facebook.
Make your Page easy to identify by making sure your branding is consistent across all your pages and accounts.
For example, The New York Times has multiple Facebook Pages for different sections of its newspaper. If someone were to search for one of these Pages, they would be confident these are the official accounts due to the consistent branding and language.
The About section is one of the first things your Page visitors will read, especially if they’re discovering your business for the first time.
You might be thinking, why include branding advice in an SEO tactic list? It’s science, really: you want users to smash that follow button, so Facebook thinks you’re the most popular kid at the party.
And the best way to get buy-in? Make sure your branding speaks to your audience on an emotional level.

The Intro section (right above your Page details) is also an opportunity to craft a short and sweet description that lets visitors know who you are and what they can expect.
Here’s Sweetgreen’s simple and straightforward (and effective!) Intro:
Have you ever searched for a business on Facebook to find out their business hours or address, only to be met with outdated details? You don’t want to put potential customers in this situation.
Make sure to list your business address, phone number, and business hours on your Facebook Page, especially if you operate a local or physical business.
Even if you’re a purely online, don’t-call-me, working 3 AM to 4:30 AM e-commerce brand, you’ll want to include something here. Facebook indexes for local search based on this information.
Retailer World Market includes a customer service number and a link to its store locator in its Intro section. These are details people on Facebook are likely searching for, so it’s a good idea to display them front and center.
Source: World Market
If you have a physical address, you can also allow users to check in, creating more visibility for your business. This can serve to increase social trust in your brand. If you see a friend checking into a business, maybe you’ll check it out yourself.
Your About section, description, headline, photo captions, notes, and even updates are all areas for potential keyword plugs.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Keywords are the cornerstone of your SEO marketing strategy. You want to use your keywords at least once throughout your Facebook Page.
Not only do these keywords let Facebook’s search engine know what your Page is, but they also help visitors learn what you do (and what value you can bring them) if they’re quickly scrolling your page.
However, don’t keyword stuff. If you go overboard, you’ll get dinged. Remember, you’re writing for human beings.
Look at this Page (chosen totally at random!) for an example of how to integrate keywords naturally. Pay attention to the Intro section (Social media tools! Build brands!) and the photo caption (SMMs!).
If you’re not sure where to start your keyword research, keep an eye on what your audience is searching for and talking about using brand monitoring tools. You can also use SEO tools like SEMRush or Google’s keyword planner to create a list of keywords to keep an eye on.
Though, if you really want to hone in on what your audience is searching for when it comes to your brand or business, use a tool like Talkwalker by Hootsuite. The social listening tool monitors real-time conversations on social media to pick up on mentions and keywords related to your brand.
Demand changes over time, so revisit and update your target keywords regularly. That way, you’ll always be abreast of keyword fluctuations that pertain to your business.
Much like in traditional SEO, backlinks are like a vote of confidence — they give your Page credibility. Google will view you as an industry authority if you can get other reputable sites to link to your Facebook Page or your content. Don’t forget to link to your website in the About section of your Facebook Page.
You can build a backlink network by collaborating with influencers and other strategic partners.
If you have an active blog or perhaps a newsletter, Rich DeMatteo, president and co-owner of Bad Rhino Digital Marketing, suggests including your Facebook Page link in your content.
“You’d be surprised how many new followers and Page likes this generates,” says DeMatteo. “Like everything else, the more effort, the greater result. This isn’t something that you just do once or twice a month and stop — it’s a focused effort to push those links out monthly.”
But the best way to earn quality backlinks is pretty simple. Produce high-quality content that matches user needs, and the links should start rolling in.
Actually, speaking of high-quality content…
If you want to increase your chances of showing up in the Feed, you must consistently and repeatedly publish keyword-rich content. You can’t just push out one or two posts per month and expect groundbreaking results. Consistent, quality content will really help with your SEO.
For example, the community, Create & Cultivate regularly shares value-packed tips and resources that its audience is searching for. Every post includes strategic keywords that are sure to grab the attention of readers.

But don’t worry — you don’t need to be a content business to publish keyword-driven Facebook captions and posts. If you’re unsure where to start, try our guide to social media content creation. Or get inspired by these fresh social media post ideas.
Once you’ve got your content sorted and ideas for keyword-rich Facebook captions, be sure to schedule your posts in bulk with Hootsuite (the ultimate time-saver).
Social media is built for communication. If your followers leave a comment, respond! Open up a dialogue and have a chat.
The Facebook algorithm judges content (in part) based on engagement levels. So, if your followers offer you the chance to increase engagement, take it.
What’s even more important for engagement today is responding to messages. More than a billion Facebook users reach out to businesses through Facebook messages each week. You don’t want to leave your customers on read, especially considering they’re likely reaching out with a question or concern.
If you don’t think you’ll be able to stay on top of your messages in a timely manner, set up an automated system like Hootsuite Inbox so you never miss a DM.
Don’t get bummed out if you get a bad review. Bad reviews are a part of life! Not only that, but they also offer you an opportunity to provide top-tier customer service.
You’ll likely gain a loyal customer if you can turn a bad experience into a great one. You can even ask them to reconsider the review they left. Really, a negative review is just a positive review waiting to happen.
Not to mention, other Facebook users can read reviews—and your responses—so it’s important to be professional to maintain your reputation.
Your first step is to respond to the reviewer, apologize, and offer a solution. Then, once you’ve resolved or diffused the situation, you can ask them to reconsider their rating.

Like any social media post or page, you need to include a call to action (CTA) for your followers.
Facebook makes this easy with its Action button option. This button links directly to whatever action you want people to take on your Page, whether that’s to contact you or make an order.
Some of the Action button options include:
The action you choose depends on where you want to direct people and traffic from Facebook. You can also do some research into what people are usually looking for when they find your Page.
Milk + Honey Spa includes two CTA buttons on its Facebook Page, one to book an appointment and another to send them a message.

Being active on Facebook is another way to increase your chances of ranking higher in people’s feeds simply because it gives you more opportunities.
Not only that but from a user’s POV, it’s more compelling to click on a Page with recent posts than one that clearly hasn’t posted in months. In fact, Facebook shows users how active a Page is:

Another consideration? The time you post. Figuring out the best time to post on Facebook will inherently raise your engagement rates, better serve content to your audience, and please the algorithm Gods. All of this, of course, works to better your SEO.
Hootsuite’s content publisher will suggest optimal times for you to post.
Or, for those go-getters, you can do your own research by following this red-hot advice on the best times to post on Facebook.
Alt text: We love to see it. Adding alt text to your Facebook photos helps the platform understand and index your content. It also gives you an opportunity to add a keyword or two (if it sounds natural), which results in it showing up more in search results.
Even without the SEO-optimized benefits, creating accessible content is just good practice. It also allows those in your audience with visual impairments to enjoy your content. Besides being the right thing to do, this effectively expands your audience to include those with visual impairments or other disabilities.
Facebook will automatically generate alt text if you don’t enter anything (and it’s painfully generic), so be sure to add your own alt text to every image you post.
Harvard University is diligent about adding descriptive alt text to its Facebook posts. The alt text for this image reads: “People walk around Harvard Yard as sun shines through trees.”
Source: Harvard University
Do you have more than one location? Your SEO strategy may benefit from multiple location Pages, allowing you to capitalize on the benefits of localized Facebook marketing.
For example, say you have donut shops in Vancouver, Seattle, and Oregon. You could potentially rank for region-specific keywords for each place, but only if you have separate Pages dedicated to targeting those regions’ keywords.
Austin-based pizza shop Via 313 uses this strategy by setting up Facebook Pages for all of its locations, and clarifying which location in the Page name.
This helps them create specific content for their area, and the business also includes a CTA button to Start Order, which makes it easy to order pizza from a specific location right on Facebook.

You have to play by the rules if you want to build your SEO on Facebook.
When optimizing your Page, be sure to follow all of Facebook’s content guidelines to ensure you aren’t violating any rules. For example, stuffing your Page with keywords can make you look spammy, and spam is one of the content types that’s not allowed.
Meta offers a detailed guide on Facebook Community Standards that’s worth checking out if you want to remain compliant.
Now that you have some tips for improving your SEO on Facebook, here are a few things not to do.
As we mentioned above, keyword stuffing is a no-no. Not only does it come across as spammy, but it also creates an unpleasant user experience.
Your human audience should always come before the algorithm; no human wants to read posts that sound robotic and unnatural.
Use keywords strategically and sparingly, focusing on your Page name, URL, and About content.
After all the hard work you put into optimizing your Facebook Page for search, creating keyword-driven content, and adding alt text to all of your photos, the last thing you want to do is just cross your fingers and hope it works.
If there’s one thing you shouldn’t skip, it’s analyzing your Facebook metrics. Social analytics is one of the best ways to measure your progress and see what’s working. Don’t ignore what the data tells you!
Check metrics like Page reach, impressions, new followers, and new likes after implementing a new SEO tactic to see if it’s helping improve your Page visibility. You should also see how your CTA performs to determine if that’s the right action to include on your Page.
And to make this step easier to follow, use a tool like Hootsuite Analytics to check your data, schedule content, and respond to customers in one place.
Beautiful reports. Clear data. Actionable insights to help you grow faster.
Another SEO mistake to avoid? Littering your page with low-quality content. While you want to post keyword-rich content consistently, it should still be valuable for your Facebook audience.
“Don’t clutter your page with too much content or irrelevant information,” says Sasha Berson, Chief Growth Officer at Grow Law Firm. “Keep it clean and easy to navigate so visitors can find what they need quickly.”
Consider what people are coming to your Page for—whether that’s contact information, educational content, or information about your services—and make sure they can easily find it.
Facebook search engine optimization is the strategy of increasing your Page’s visibility, reach, or ranking on Feeds. SEO for Facebook is very similar to SEO on other platforms.
You can SEO Facebook Pages by implementing the Facebook SEO tactics above! SEO can be a long game, so the sooner you start, the better off you’ll be.
Yes, Facebook reviews help SEO by improving your Page’s credibility and reputation. More positive reviews will signal to users that you’re a trustworthy business, which can help increase click-through rate.
You can rank higher on Facebook by optimizing your Page for search, posting keyword-rich content, and following community guidelines.
Facebook ads do not directly improve SEO on or off the platform. However, Facebook ads may drive more traffic to your Page or website.

No more Chrome updates for these Android devices from August – NewsBytes

Google has announced that it will no longer support its Chrome browser on certain older Android devices. The change will come into effect with the release of the Chrome 139 update in August (tentatively scheduled for release on August 5). After this update, only devices running Android 10 or higher will be supported. This means that users with Android 8.0 (Oreo) and Android 9.0 (Pie) will not receive any further updates from early August.
User impact
Even after the lack of updates, older versions of Chrome will continue to work for users on these operating systems. However, Google recommends that those still using older Android versions should upgrade to a supported version for continued security updates and access to new features in Chrome. The company made this clear in its announcement about the upcoming changes.
Distribution data
As of April 2025, Android 9 is running on 6% of devices while Android 8 and 8.1 are powering some 4% of devices. While this may seem a small number, these versions have already reached the end of their life cycle. For context, Android 8 was launched in 2017 while its successor arrived in 2018, making it eight and seven years since these versions were first introduced, respectively.

Update ASAP: Google Fixes Android Flaw (CVE-2025-27363) Exploited by Attackers – The Hacker News

Google has released its monthly security updates for Android with fixes for 46 security flaws, including one vulnerability that it said has been exploited in the wild.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-27363 (CVSS score: 8.1), a high-severity flaw in the System component that could lead to local code execution without requiring any additional execution privileges.
“The most severe of these issues is a high security vulnerability in the System component that could lead to local code execution with no additional execution privileges needed,” Google said in a Monday advisory. “User interaction is not needed for exploitation.”
It’s worth noting that CVE-2025-27363 is rooted in the FreeType open-source font rendering library. It was first disclosed by Facebook in March 2025 as having been exploited in the wild.
The shortcoming has been described as an out-of-bounds write flaw that could result in code execution when parsing TrueType GX and variable font files. The issue has been remediated in FreeType versions higher than 2.13.0.
“There are indications that CVE-2025-27363 may be under limited, targeted exploitation,” Google acknowledged in its security bulletin. The exact specifics of the attacks are presently unknown.
Google’s May update also resolves eight other flaws in the Android System and 15 flaws in the Framework module that could be abused to facilitate privilege escalation, information disclosure, and denial-of-service.
“Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform,” the company said. “We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.”
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added CVE-2025-27363 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, requiring federal agencies to apply the patches by May 27, 2025.

Last week was a significant one in the human creativity versus artificial intelligence debate.
On Tuesday, OpenAI released ChatGPT 4.0’s new image generator, which can create pictures done in popular animation styles, like Pixar or Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli (and quickly went viral). That same day, H&M shared images featuring its first AI-generated versions of models including Vilma Sjöberg.
The reaction to both was mixed: H&M chief creative officer Jörgen Andersson acknowledged the use of “digital twins” of models would court controversy; 74 percent of respondents in an Instagram poll by The Business of Fashion voted that brands should be banned from using AI-generated models. And even as a tidal wave of ChatGPT-made cartoonish images flooded social media, there were also growing questions over whether the innovation would end up being a boon to the creative process or a threat to designers.
There’s reason to be concerned: A 2023 report by market research company Forrester estimated that 7.5 percent of advertising agency roles in the US would be automated by 2030. Particularly vulnerable are clerical and market research roles. It’s already having an impact: “A lot of us are losing jobs [due to AI],” said Yana Sheptovetskaya, a photographer and creative director for a number of beauty brands.

But despite resistance, the embrace of AI in marketing feels increasingly inevitable: 79 percent of marketing teams are planning to expand AI adoption in 2025, according to a report by AI marketing platform Jasper. Fashion companies including Revolve, Coach and Anthropologie have embraced AI tools across a variety of marketing functions, including product discovery, digital twin creation, SEO and more.
The goal, for most, is to harness AI as a tool to support human creativity rather than replace it. The ad agency VMGroupe, which uses AI to visualise concepts, revitalise content and create content from scratch, launched its own AI content creation suite last week with the goal of helping its clients view AI as an “intern” able to assist with their creative processes, rather than something to be feared or relied on too heavily.
“Anything that’s new, revolutionary, cool, disruptive and different is going to upset people. It’s the nature of evolution,” said Addia Cooper-Henry, VMGroupe’s founder. “AI will never replace us. Don’t fear things that can help expand your brilliance … How do you evolve and adapt your role?”
Already, AI-assisted content creation has emerged as one of the most popular ways for marketers to tap its power. Copywriting, for instance, is one of Jasper’s most sought-after applications. It can be used for everything from writing descriptions across product catalogues for brands like Adidas, to Ulta Beauty using it to generate a campaign brief and corresponding copy for various facets of its 2024 summer beauty sale, including mobile marketing messages, emails and landing pages.
AI-generated content, however, is only as strong as the quality of its human input. According to Cooper-Henry, the process of developing a concept and framework and then creating visuals using AI is similar to putting together the script for a real campaign.
“With AI, we can actually show, almost to perfection, what our minds are thinking, and then share that with a marketer,” said Cooper-Henry, adding that AI can take cues from archival imagery, but update it for a modern consumer. “Now, all of a sudden, you have a whole new perspective and campaign and content that’s obviously going to go viral, but still fully imbued with your brand DNA.”
Sheptovetskaya pointed out that having a developed knowledge of historic and artistic references, as well as the creative vision to piece them together in original ways, is what will enable marketers to craft prompts for AI-generated imagery that can trigger an emotional response in the way fashion content should. That said, she also noted how easily she was able to create images in the style of her own photography using ChatGPT 4.0, raising further legal questions around creative IP when referencing specific artistic styles.
“We’re going to get so much trash, but then eventually the trash will take itself out,” she said, comparing the current situation to the advent of computer-generated music, which has become broadly accepted and appreciated. “At the end of the day, we’ll actually end up with really good, probably satisfying content. AI or not AI, the strongest ones survive.”

Using AI purposefully is also important. Coach, for instance, uses Adobe Firefly to create digital twins — virtual replicas — of its top products by training the model using its own brand codes. While the digital twins can be used to further the reach of paid social content, they are also used to gather consumer feedback on preferred styles in focus groups to enhance decision making around product development and merchandising.
Beyond content creation, AI presents plenty of opportunity for marketers behind the scenes, to simplify their workstreams and automate rote tasks.
Data analysis and insights are a core marketing area that previously required hours of manual labour, but can now be supported by AI. The technology can quickly analyse large amounts of data, such as customer feedback, to piece together trends that employees can then assess.
With AI, they can use “the data at scale to get to more refined, smarter insights more quickly, and then [use their] human brain to go, okay, what does that mean?” said Jarrod Bull, managing director of AI-powered creative agency MachWon.
Anthropologie’s team, which currently uses Jasper to improve SEO, initially spent 20 percent of its time automating keyword optimisation and 80 percent of its time fine-tuning the language so the platform could improve its understanding of the brand’s tone. Since implementation, the numbers have flipped to 60 percent automation and 40 percent validation, freeing the team up to both extend its SEO capability beyond fashion and into its home division, and to strengthen its understanding of the search landscape’s evolution. The retailer is currently trialling other AI-enabled platforms, including one meant to drive operational efficiencies in its reporting, analytics and planning, as well as testing AI’s ability to aggregate customer feedback.
Third-party AI-powered shopping platforms like Daydream are also becoming fertile ground for brands to gain in-depth insights about their shoppers, including the other brands they shop for, search terms used and even granular details like how decisive they are.
Revolve deployed AI to improve product search and recommendations, broaden the reach of its performance marketing efforts through improved product targeting and promotion and enhanced customer service with more streamlined inquiry routing and management, which ultimately boosted total orders and average order value by 2 percent each in fiscal year 2024, according to a Jefferies equity research report. Its AI innovation in consumer search and on its e-commerce website is also estimated to deliver seven-figure incremental revenue on an annualised basis, according to Daniel Wu, senior vice president of business intelligence for Revolve.
Still, even in the face of technological advancement, consumers continue to value human creativity. Marketers should be wary of public reaction to AI, and manage how to benefit from it without alienating consumers. Consider where the technology can handle repetitive tasks to free up their time for deeper customer connection and play a supporting role in content creation while ensuring that the brand team’s creative vision remains at the helm.
“Brands are living organisms, and so as consumer behaviour changes, we also then have to change with it, which I think will require, and continue to require, that human touch, that human oversight,” said Barbra Sainsurin, global executive director of brand and digital marketing for Anthropologie.
The company expects public opinion to be divided on its plan to use “digital twins” of real models in AI-generated imagery. But the best way to protect models’ jobs and rights in the age of AI, it says, is to bring them into the process.
The AI-generated campaigns, which offer a glimpse of what the future of marketing could look like, have already drawn the attention of brands such as Gucci.
Silicon Valley venture firm Andreessen Horowitz led the round as Raspberry AI looks to expand its customer base and accelerate product development.
