Facebook Search
I have created a new Facebook search tool that has much better functionality then my first tool (available below). The new tool is a Google Chrome extension so you must use Google Chrome as your browser and then click the link below to go to the Chrome Store. Once there, simply click the button to install the extension. To use Facebook Graph search, you will need to have your language settings in Facebook set to English (US). It is a simple process to install this tool. If you find this tool useful I will be very grateful if you can share it and write a review in the Chrome Store site.

Intelligence Search

Below is my first Facebook search tool, please let me know what you think and share it on Social Media. This has been developed with inspiration and support from Balazs Paroczay.
NB. Your browser may need to be logged into Facebook for this to work. If there is a problem log into Facebook and try again.

How to Find Engaging Facebook Content Posts #1: Customer Feedback

Listen to your customer, find out what they want, and provide it to them. Yeah, that’s kind of marketing 101 in a nutshell, but it works - even when you’re looking for Facebook content.

Check your Facebook customer posts and comments, check your customer email, check your Twitter mentions. What are your customers asking you, what are they commenting on and what are they posting? Use these as a source of inspiration - they are your target market after all.
