Slide 1Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the social media platform would be changing it's algorithm to show more content from friends, family, and groups in the News Feed.

The company is hoping to make the network more fun, encourage interactions, and increase individual morale.

 

Slide 2As the changes roll out, businesses will most likely see a significant decrease in organic reach.

Facebook also believes users will spend less time scrolling through the site, but will enjoy their time more than before.

 

 

Slide 3-1What can businesses do to continue reaching their customers? Post engaging, quality content that's focused on creating conversations between users.

Asking questions in posts or writing about timely, relevant topics that users are sure to have an opinion on is a great way to get people engaged.

 

Slide 4Businesses shouldn’t be shy about asking customers to follow or like their page on Facebook. If you think someone will benefit from your content, ask for a follow!

You can even remind loyal followers about the “See First” option that's available in the news feed preferences.

 

Slide 5It's no surprise that organic reach has been declining across social media for years, making paid ads more important than ever.

Businesses must know how to target the right audiences with the best message possible to make sure their advertising budgets go further.

 

Slide 6Videos are still favored under the new algorithm, but live videos will be even more essential.

Zuckerberg stated that “live videos often lead to discussion among viewers on Facebook—in fact, live videos on average get six times as many interactions as regular videos.” What are you waiting for? Start a Live video!
