How many times should my business post on Facebook?
Post meaningful content 3-6 times a week at different times to catch different feeds. But it’s much more just posting something. Facebook is a community. You need to engage in the community or your posts will be meaningless.
Mark Zuckerberg wrote, “Pages making posts that people generally don’t react to or comment on could see the biggest decreases in distribution. Pages whose posts prompt conversations between friends will see less of an effect.”
While you’re at it, reply back when folks make a comment on your post. Even if it’s a simple “thank you!”. This shows you are engaged and increases the opportunity for your post to be viewed by more people.
What if my Facebook business page doesn’t have any engagement, should I still continue to post content?
