Canvas: A New Ad Experience

Canvas is a new ad format that Facebook has been testing since June. Now, the social network is testing a new, full-screen experience within Canvas. After clicking on an ad, consumers will see a fast-loading, full-screen ad where they can browse through a variety of products before converting on the retailer’s website.

9 Facebook Changes to Know

New Shopping Feature in Favorites

Since people discover new products across multiple areas on Facebook, the social network is starting to test a place for people to more easily discover, share and purchase products. The test will be conducted with a limited set of small business in the U.S. who are also testing the Shop section on Pages (a feature that Facebook announced in September). Participating businesses will be able to have their products appear in this section, and the social network notes that it will explore incorporating additional content into this section (like items listed for sale in Facebook Groups) overtime.

Additional Video Options

Facebook is also testing a way for people to multitask as they watch videos. Facebook is doing this by testing a way for people to watch a video in a floating screen while simultaneously multitasking on the social network. Moreover, Facebook is testing a button to allow users to save videos to watch later. These videos can be found in users’ “saved” bookmarks.

Video Stream

Facebook notes that it is testing a dedicated place that people can go when they want to watch video exclusively – whether its video they have saved for later, videos from friends, videos from Pages they follow or videos from other publishers. This section aims to help people discover, watch and share videos from the social network that are relevant to them. The section can be accessed via the “Videos” icon at the bottom of the Facebook iPhone app or in the “Favorites” section on the left-hand side of the News Feed on the Web. That said, the feature is currently only be tested with a small number of people.

Video Tools for Publishers

To help publishers better manage and control their videos on Facebook, the social network says it has begun testing a new video matching technology with a set of partners, with a long-term goal of providing a new comprehensive video management system to all creators. That said, Facebook has rolled out new video tools for Pages, like updates to Page Insights and video upload improvements, to help video publishers grow in the meantime.

Instant Articles Expand

Initially launched in May, Instant Articles are now available to everyone on the iPhone. With the update, everyone who leverages the Facebook for iPhone app can read thousands of Instant Articles every day. Members simply need to tap the lightning bolt on the top right corner of participating articles to have the story load 1 times faster than a standard mobile Web article. The feature is expected to launch on Android later this year.

TechPrep

In an effort to diversify the tech industry by helping people start programming careers, Facebook has launched a new website called TechPrep. According to Mark Zuckerberg, the website shows parents and students what programming is, why it is important and what types of jobs are available for people who can code. The goal of the site is to improve diversity in the tech industry by helping more people take advantage of the opportunities created by the Internet.

Search FYI

With more than 1.5 billion searches per day and 2 trillion posts in Facebook’s index, the social network has updated its search functionality to helps users find more information. With the update, users have the ability to search not only for friends and family, but also for posts related to specific topics. In fact, the update offers timely and personalized suggestions as users type in the search box, and the results turn up posts from a user’s friends as well as other relevant public posts. This also means that users will be able to find public posts related to specific links, view popular phrases and quotes mentioned in these posts and check out an aggregated view of sentiment.

It is important to note that the new search experience aims to provide Facebook users with a personalized and unique experience that they can’t find anywhere else. Moreover, the social network will be improving upon its new search functionality as it receives feedback from users.

My husband and myself were looking for a company to not only build our website, but also attract people to it. Nabil and all Omaha SEO staff were beyond amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. I am so grateful for their guidance throughout this whole process and I recommend them ten times over!

I had them to create my “Save the Date” announcements, I worked with the Graphic Designer, gave them what I was picturing and they took the concept I had in mind and made it better than I could have imagined. The turnaround was speedy. I highly recommend this company, very professional and customer oriented.

At the start of the year I had decided to invest in a company to help me grow my landscaping business and reach a new market here in Colorado. Omaha SEO Company was the right choice and I began seeing results right off the bat. Their team started by stream lining my website and making sure all my internet search information appeared correctly and professionally. I was even given help designing my logo, which I absolutely love! Ive since recieved quality leads increasing my business this season. I couldnt be happier being backed by their aid/support, and I look forward to growth in 2020!

Omaha SEO Company Gets FIVE STARS!
We have been working with Nabil and Omaha SEO Company for the past five months. When we first started with Omaha SEO, our Company, Visiting Angels was down around the 20th position on Google Search. In just three months Omaha SEO Company has us in 3rd ranking and we are still climbing. This is remarkable considering how competitive the Non-Medical Homecare space is in Omaha. This has also had a direct positive impact on new business for us over these past several months. Nabil is great to work with and truly cares about our business and our success, making sure we are doing the right things to keep us at the top!

Most SEO companies over promise and under deliver. Nabil and his team have knocked it out of the park and have been so good to work with. Personable, knowledgeable, prompt, and accountable. We feel we have a partner in our business to drive growth. Leads have increased and we made some operational changes to ensure the phones were being answered for a winning combo.

I had worked with Omaha SEO and felt that they were doing a lot of work for me and we still were not getting results like I wanted in a very competitive market. We tried some different ways to look at what was happening and then he got an idea. We tried it for a couple of weeks, and the phone rang almost every day. After a couple of weeks, "crickets" again. We knew what was made the difference--his idea worked. He kept working until I got results that brought clients to my door. I am very grateful for his professionalism and tenacity. It paid off.
