HOW TO GENERATE ENGAGEMENT ON FACEBOOK?
Facebook organic reach and engagement has taken a
significant hit in recent times. That’s not great news for brands looking to
use the platform to generate business, but reminding yourself of some basic
engagement tricks can be a good way to increase your Facebook traction with the
fans you already have. This is important because nurturing your current
audience will lead to more success in attracting new followers.
Here’s a little background on why this is a good idea
- Facebook likes to keep people on its platform. This means that Facebook's
News Feed algorithm doesn’t particularly like posts which take people to an
outside website, so any post with an off-platform link could, theoretically, be
penalized, and shown to fewer people within your audience.
As an alternative approach, you could try creating a
longer form caption, then letting your audience know that if they want more
information they can find the link in the first comment on the post.
Post
engaging content in between website links
The first step is to get to know your audience -
research similar Pages, pay attention to your analytics and understand what it
is that your followers like and respond to. Then, you should look to create
content which is super engaging, before you even try posting any of your own
links. This principle behind this is that since you’ve posted amazing content
that your audience love before you've sought to use the same to drive website
traffic, the algorithm will look at your Page content more favorably, because
it will know that you're already driving significant engagement. Therefore,
your posts with links will, ideally, be granted the same reach benefits.
Use
Messenger Bots
Using chatbots and Facebook Messenger to communicate
with customers and keep fans updated is one of the new hot topics in social
media marketing. Connecting through Messenger gives you the opportunity to
interact with people who may not be interested in your Page. Messenger bots can
be used for lead nurturing, retaining customers, and sharing your knowledge.
Although chatbots may seem a little daunting to set up there's a range of some
tools that can make this easier on you. Within your Facebook Page messaging
option, you can set up instant replies, and replies to frequently asked
questions.
Try
videos and live videos
It’s not so much that the News Feed Algorithm loves
video necessarily, but videos are just a more popular form of content to
consume. Various video tools available can make the process of creating quality
videos for your posts easier - Facebook even has some built-in video creation
tools (including the slideshow post option and video effects for boosted
posts). But the easiest way to dive into videos is by going live.
Live-streaming creates a sense of urgency, while it's also a pretty simple way
to interact with your audience without needing a fancy set up.
Boost
Posts
Boosting posts is also a viable, and effective way
to increase your Facebook audience engagement. The positive is that you don’t
need a huge budget. Try putting some money behind posts which organically
perform well. The key here is to target the right audience effectively - you
can target people who follow your Page, or anyone who’s engaged with your Page
in the past. This type of targeting is efficient because you’re reaching people
who are already familiar with your work, and will most likely be happy to see
more from you.
