Facebook Fan Page Post Visibility Just 17% (4 posts)

    What are you going to do about it?

  • @roryramsden Hi Rory

    There is nothing new here. Fans hardly ever visit pages after the initial visit (and even then, they can Like your page without ever visiting it!)

    You could argue two cases here – 1. That Businesses aren’t doing enough to attract people back to their pages, and 2. People don’t like visiting pages.

    I think it is a bit of both. I don’t visit a business’s page very often at all – I just like reading their posts. And that is where business owner’s need to spend most of their time: crafting amazing and interesting posts.

    But to get people to your pages for any reason you can try a couple of things:

    • Run competitions or apps that force people to visit your page (or at least one page-tab);
    • And to use Facebook ads to drive people to a certain page.
    To be successful with the above you need to create a really good reason for people to visit your page – either a great prize or steller content that helps or entertains.

    Hope that helps! :)

  • Hey Russell – what is your experience with reveal tabs? I have seen large companies and brands use these successfully, typically tied to a contest or a cause, but wonder about their usefulness for smaller companies. Any insight?

  • @davidwalizer We’re using a fan-gated tab for one of the competitions that we’re running exclusively for our Facebook fans.

    To be honest, we haven’t had the best results with it, but it’s mostly because we haven’t done the best job promoting the competition. I think as long as you do a good job getting the word out and encourage people who are not your existing fans to visit the page, you’ll be happy with the results.
