What does it mean?
April 20, 202327
![Page 28: The Next Level of Online Engagement](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d0b550346895da6be0a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bringing it to Life
Numbers are misleading!
Context is Key:
• Tools can provide support, but YOU have to provide context
• Are people saying positive or negative things?
• Reporting on social media should include insights and analysis
For each metric ask yourself:
1. Who is engaging?
2. What are they responding to?
3. What are they saying?
4. What does it mean?
![Page 29: The Next Level of Online Engagement](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d0b550346895da6be0a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Tying the Technical to the Narrative
This is where you earn your stripes!
• Who is your demographic online? Does it differ from on the ground?
• What are Facebook’s Insights telling you about content interactions?
Adjust your approach:
• If you lead with a great stat, but the retweets focus on a detail in the story, take this to heart!
• From the trenches, it all looks beautiful! Be selective about your content.

Best Practices Update
April 20, 202332
How to Create News Feed-worthy Facebook Content
• Content is Not Always King - Posting too often can drive fans to unlike your page. Control volume but produce content yielding high interactions
• Vary Your Posts - Often it’s not what you’re saying, but what you’re sharing. Include photos, videos, etc.
• Timing is Everything – Keep a log of what time of day you post things. Vary it and keep a record so you know when your posts are read the most.
• Post About a Trending Topic
• Go Manual – Scheduling ALL of your posts may provide a poor experience
• Use Facebook’s New FeaturesSource:
