Important To RememberFacebook search results are unique to each userYou never know what your friends or just random users will see for any given search query. Facebook search is likely to heavily rely on connections: how “close” the user is to each    page - how many of their friends Like it or even how many Friends of Friends Like it.It relies on exact match: for example, [blogging] versus [bloggers]: Copyright 2011 PREasy.com LLC

BUT make sure to use your full name and break into the separate words     Example:     “Social Media Michigan” is better than “SocialMediaMichigan”
