UNDERSTANDING
FACEBOOK ENGAGEMENTCurrently an average user will have 1500 unread stories built up from
every Friend, Person and Page they follow. Facebook whittles this number
down to the 300 they believe you will be interested in the most.
Page posts have become increasingly less likely to show in newsfeeds.
Current estimates are between 2% and 12%
Facebook’s News Feed algorithm determines which posts to show to
users based on the user’s actions and feedback they give. According to
Facebook “When a user likes something, that tells News Feed that they
want to see more of it; when they hide something, that tells News Feed to
display less of that content in the future.”
