Understanding Facebook Algorithm
A brand that does not focus on
engaging and consistent content gets
lost among the thousands of posts
that Facebook can serve to its
audience

Declining Reach

What Do You Do Now?
1. Deal with the new
reality.
2. Diversify your social
strategy
3. Be intentional and
strategic with Facebook
activity
4. Boost posts and
occasional Facebook ads

10 Ways to Get Noticed in a Facebook
Feed

8 Ways to Get Noticed in a Facebook Feed
1 Be Consistent
1 – 3 posts per day that are diverse in
content type (pictures, text only,
links, video). Make sure the
balance of your posts are value
add and engaging before selling.

2 Time of Day
Look at your Facebook Insights for information
of when your fans are online. In generalities
8-10am, 2-3pm, and 7-9pm are the highest
traffic times.

3 Shorter Character Counts
Keep your posts under 80 characters. Facebook
studies show that the most interacted with
posts are ones that are 40-60 characters.

4 Include Calls to Action
Facebook users will respond to your
call to action. Ask for feedback
(market research), ask for
interaction, be entertaining.

5 Change your Cover Photo
The cover photo is a large piece of
real estate and now shows up in
newsfeeds and when people
hover over your brand name. Best
practices say to change this
monthly and use the real estate
for calls to action.

6 Interact with Your Own Posts
Two things here. 1) respond and
interact with the people who
comment on your posts. 2) Use
Facebook as yourself to like your
own post. Both increase organic
growth opportunity

7 Use Facebook Advertising
The reality of the world we live in is that
Facebook reach will only be broad
with the use of Boosted Posts and
Advertising. The cost is minimal and
the reach is to the audience you want.

8 Add Value Before Selling
Incorporate the practice of give, give
give, sell or jab, jab, jab, right
hook. Your content should be
70% engagement, 20% sharing,
and 10% selling.

1. Quotes
2. Answers to Frequently
Asked Questions
3. Did You Know Trivia
4. Pictures of your business
5. Questions of the Day
(great research)
6. Video
7. Links to things you like
8. Promoting local events
9. Your blog posts
10. Sales or Events
