💡 Pro Tips
Measure by reach for honest numbers
Facebook shows posts to a fraction of followers. Reach-based engagement reflects how good the content actually was, not how big your audience is.
Post native video
Facebook favors native video over links and reposts. Video consistently earns more reach and engagement than other formats.
Spark comments, not just reactions
Comments and shares carry far more algorithmic weight than reactions. Ask questions and invite opinions to lift your rate.
Keep links out of the main post
Posts with external links get throttled. Put the link in the first comment and tell readers where to find it.
Post when your audience is active
Check Insights for your Page’s peak times. Early engagement in the first hour drives how far Facebook distributes a post.
Track a rolling average
One viral post or one flop can skew a single reading. Average across 10+ posts to see real trends.
