Do you remember a few months ago when I taught you how to begin monitoring your online reputation with Google Alerts?

I love it, and I'm 97.3% sure you will, too.

How Do I Get Noticed On Facebook?

How to get noticed on Facebook: how to set up it up (the right way) and take your Page from amateur to pro.

You want your business to stand out and get noticed on Facebook.

You're wondering what it takes to get more followers, more likes, and more comments -- without feeling or looking like a sleazeball.

Any of that sound familiar? Yep, same here.

I've launched and managed quite a few Facebook Pages over the years and let me tell you: it was A LOT easier to get attention back then.

You really didn't have to do anything special because there was a lot less competition. And you didn't have to fight Facebook's algorithms to show up in your fans' newsfeeds!

But now? It's different. There are like a 1,252,173,450 Pages (or something like that) vying for people's "likes."

; You're lucky if you can get even 10% of your followers see your posts.

(I wish that was a joke.)

To grab people's interest so that they'll follow you -- not to mention think you're cool enough to give you likes and the highly coveted comment -- takes a killer combo of smarts + beauty + charm.

But it's not impossible. There are a lot of Pages both big and small that are getting it right, and you can, too.

Last week I gave you a "meaty" blog post (thanks, Kirsten!) all about how to begin getting people to perk up and take notice of you online.

I want you to start there, and then watch today's video that covers four more solid strategies to take your Facebook Page from "ho hum" to "whoa, she's got it together!"

In it I talk about:

#1 - The importance of images and consistent visual branding

#2 - Why completing your About description is key

#3 - What sort of content you should be sharing to stand out from the crowd of businesses all wanting to make a buck

#4 - How to use Facebook Insights to increase your visibility and engagement
