you can complain to facebook regarding defamatory content and its removal and also request them to delete the account of the person defaming you. If facebook does not take any action, then file a suit for mandatory injunction directing them to take necessary action for removal these defamatory articles.

Do not worry about the posts on facebook or social media. If people are satisfied with the services given by your company then they will not believe on such posts. Secondly, without name and addresses it is difficult to lodge FIR against anyone under Section 499 and Section 500 of Indian Penal Code.
