Facebook Search By Location
Why You May Want to Do a Facebook Search by Location
More people use Facebook than any other app. People have built their network to include thousands of “friends,” many of whom they have ongoing conversations with, sharing posts, photos and videos. While most of these conversations are meaningless to anyone else, some contain valuable information organizations would like to know for one reason or another. How to access that information is the question.
Unless you are explicitly invited into the conversation, you must use specific technology to gain access to this public source of social media data. Some social media monitoring tools alert you when your brand is mentioned on Facebook, but there is plenty more valuable information within these conversations than just a brand mention or a “like.”
Searching Facebook by Locations Has Its Benefits:
- Find data specific to Facebook and user location: There are so many social media networks in the world today, it’s hard to keep up, but Facebook continues to rank at the top. When you need data about Facebook users or the conversations they may be having, you can narrow your results further if you specify users in a particular location.
- Target marketing efforts or outreach to only Facebook users in a certain location: If you are in marketing or sales and need to reach Facebook users in a particular location, say in close proximity to your business, being able to search Facebook users in your area is a great way to focus your attention and messaging.
