My client’s often ask me how to get more engagement on their Facebook business Page posts. I have a list of suggestions that I recommend including:

  • post valuable content that your user’s want to see,
  • address the solutions to be your client’s biggest problems,
  • make sure to engage with your fans by asking questions,
  • post your content when your fans are online.

Below I have provided step-by-step instructions to show you how to see when your business Page followers are most active.  Post when they are most active so they have a higher probability of seeing your post in their newsfeed and thus reacting or engaging with you/your page.
