A Facebook Change and What it Means for Your Business

September 21, 2011 Categories: Facebook, Social Media by 3 Comments

OK!

Facebook finally made some changes that are GREAT for your small business!

The major change made this morning is the Top News / Recent News display in the Newsfeed.

NOW, when a user logs on and displays the newsfeed, a combination of Top/Recent news displays on the page.

The top five or so posts will be gathered from accounts which Facebook (through various algorithms) decides are “Top” stories for you. A small blue triangle appears in the upper left corner of these posts.

The remainder of the news feed displays all “Recent” posts!

This is great for your small business fan page, which sometimes just doesn’t make it into users Top News.

Now businesses can optimize posting to fan pages based on time, day of week, etc., and be sure that they are getting into to news feeds of their fans!

Great news for fan page administrators – and your business!

So get to work!

    I agree! This new format can give small businesses greater visibility if they post regularly & have engaging content.
