3. Post activity
Posts are shown according to their relevancy score, interaction, activity around the post.

back to it.

2. Provide context – What the viewer is going to see when they click on your post.
3. Be timely – People want to see news the day it happens.
Build for the long term – what does your audience want to see that will keep them coming back.
How often should I post?

8. 1. You can post more than you think
2. There is no magic number: some publishers post dozens of times per day
3. Experiment with different amounts and see how your audience responds

Facebook encourages experimentation by looking at your audience insights as often as possible.
