Facebook\u2026 the Web Browser Edition?!<\/h2>\n<p>Last week, I asked you the question <em>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/blog\/from-around-the-web-serps-replacing-websites\/\">Is Google Replacing the Website?<\/a>\u201d \u00a0<\/em>Will I soon be asking the same question about Facebook? Do these two behemoths have a bullseye on one another?<\/p>\n<p>I know I have talked about these giants taking over the web before, but it\u2019s hard to get past the speed at which they are doing it.<\/p>\n<h3>Facebook is Considered a Web Browser?!<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that Facebook is considered a major mobile browser in the United States? In some states, they have more than <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2018\/08\/06\/facebook-is-now-a-major-mobile-browser-in-u-s-with-10-market-share-in-many-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 percent of the market share<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 Safari and Chrome aren\u2019t going away (at least not anytime soon)!<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from Mixpanel, the average across all U.S. states is as follows: Safari has 58.06 percent of the market share, Chrome has 32.48 percent, Facebook sits at 8.82 percent, and all other browsers have the remaining 0.64 percent. <em>(Wow, Mozilla seems to have been left out in the cold.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Just this week, Facebook has made some additional major shifts to help local businesses get more exposure on their platform. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/08\/helping-people-connect-with-local-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement from the site<\/a>,\u201c Over 1.6 billion people around the world are connected to a small business on Facebook.\u201d It seems both users and businesses want an easier way to connect, so Facebook has upgraded some of their features to accomplish this. The mobile look for pages is now going to put a spotlight on recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Remember at the end of 2017 when they launched Facebook Local? A lot of event stuff was moved out of the original Facebook app and into the Facebook Local app. Well, they\u2019ve slowly been shifting it back in, which I\u2019m guessing is to prepare for the new \u201cLocal\u201d section that is available through the main Facebook app.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10285 size-full\" title=\"Your Top Picks This Week\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/images\/facebook-local.jpeg\" alt=\"Your Top Picks This Week\" width=\"600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Local section is not super easy to find, depending on how many other items you access regularly via the Facebook mobile app. I have to click \u201cSee More\u201d to get to it. I\u2019m betting that Facebook will change this soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>Users can make reservations, book appointments, see the most recent offers and more. They have added \u201cStories on Pages\u201d so users can more easily get to know the people behind the business.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Is This Important?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Facebook has over 10 percent market share as a browser in some states.<\/li>\n<li>Time spent on social media is 135 minutes per day, up from 90 minutes in 2012.<\/li>\n<li>Facebook has more than 80 million SMBs on its platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Google Is Spicing Things Up, Too<\/h3>\n<p>A few weeks ago, I shared some of the new features coming to the Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) dashboard. Well, just yesterday, they announced that all countries have the menu and services feature available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.en.advertisercommunity.com\/t5\/News-Updates\/Launch-Menu-and-Services-editor-now-available-in-all-countries\/td-p\/1778103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GBP Community forum<\/a>. It\u2019s available to restaurants and service-based businesses.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10286 size-full\" title=\"GMB Dashboard\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/images\/gmb-dashboard-services.png\" alt=\"GMB Dashboard\" width=\"719\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>To Find the Services Section<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to the Google Business Profile dashboard.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cInfo\u201d on the left.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down a tiny bit.<\/li>\n<li>You should see \u201cServices\u201d listed underneath the website information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Within Services, you can add sections with multiple items underneath, a description for each item, and pricing. Be sure to keep keyword optimization <em>(not keyword stuffing)\u00a0<\/em>in mind when completing these.<\/p>\n<h3>More News on the Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/blog\/from-around-the-web-building-trust\/\">Two weeks ago<\/a>, I shared a few insights on the updates Google just made to their Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines. This week, I read an article on TheSEMPost that highlighted some additional important insights to consider.<\/p>\n<p>When rating content, raters are directed to look beyond just the expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness (E-A-T) of the content, but also at reputation of the content. This directs them to find additional information about the author to make sure they are also credible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesempost.com\/google-creator-reputation-quality-rater-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennifer Slegg says<\/a>, \u201cEven more important is the fact that Google is telling their quality raters to rate websites lowest when the content creator has a negative reputation or is written by an author that they cannot find any information on whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Websites publishing content in their team members\u2019 names that are not authoritative need to reconsider. As you know, quantity is not the goal \u2013 quality is. Taking this even further is E-A-T, and a step beyond that is reputation.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s Time to Take a Look at HERE\u2019s Location Technology<\/h3>\n<p>Google definitely has some competition on the rise in the marketplace, at least when it comes to maps on local business websites. HERE announced they are adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/360.here.com\/announcing-freemium-off-the-chart-location-technology-for-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freemium solution for the location technology<\/a>. It\u2019s speculated that this may be in response to Google changing the pricing for developers using their mapping technology on local businesses\u2019 websites. Consumers are accustomed to seeing the Google Map embed on location landing pages. I think this expectation will soon change.<\/p>\n<p>In case you didn\u2019t know it, HERE is one of the GPS mapping solutions available through the Advice Local Data Amplifier Network. This news is good news for us and our local business customers.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t Worry \u2013 There\u2019s Help Available<\/h3>\n<p>I know all of this is a lot to take in. Don\u2019t worry!
