the past let's say you have a post that knocks it out of the park tons of Li and shares and plenty of love in the comment section rather than treat this post as a oneoff you should instead take the steps to recreate this same social magic again maybe it was an unexpected picture perhaps it was an epic case study either way you should pay close attention to your top performing content and aim to replicate this to better break down that activity take a close look at your Facebook analytics and see firsthand what's receiving the most
reach improving your Facebook pages engagement isn't a oneandone affair if someone takes the time to comment on your content you should return the favor yourself let's have it said no one likes to send a text message and be n now do they people want to interact with Brands which is the reason why so many businesses that reply to comments gain more interactions people these days expect a social response within 4 hours of commenting timely responses are a must replying to comments on your post is not only a great way to Signal engagement to Facebook but
also keeps your users happy happy people equals potential customers after all if nothing else taking the time to reply to people shows you good at listening to them this is a good look from a brand perspective and also encourages more interaction amongst the rest of the people on your page if you don't have time to respond to every single message you can create a Facebook chat bot to do so for you Facebook loves content and the more you can give it the more it will give you back in the way of visibility and engagement it's
important like any social media platform that you have consistency when posting and have a schedule to do so ideally minimum of a three a week ensuring the quality of the content is always at its highest if you cannot keep up with the quality then reduce the amount of post quality over quantity will always win the battle people are a lot more likely to engage when they are being asked a question asking simple questions like what do you prefer between Disney or Pixar films makes it easy for people to answer without having to think about it
too hard if you can though try and make the topic related to your business for example if you run a clothing business you could ask which outfit do you prefer between these two pictures making your questions funny or relevant to current trending subjects can boost your engagement even further as Facebook continues its Crackdown on clickbaits with regular changes to their algorithm companies are forced to rethink how they earn engagement on their posts for example adding to your post saying please like or share this post is engagement bait and Facebook algorithm will penalize you for pushing
out this kind of post on average people spend three times more watching a Facebook live video than regular videos and are 10 times more likely to comment with this in mind it's worth knowing that when it comes to Facebook videos live videos perform better have potential to reach more people and increase your Facebook engagement rate that's because when you go live your video shoots to the top of the followers news feed also people regularly interact with your page or recently done so get a notification let them know you've gone live even better after the live
