How to succeed on Facebook

Best for creators building a durable community, especially via Groups, and who benefit from an older, higher-intent audience.

Recommended posting cadence

3-5 posts per week to your Page; daily light engagement in your Group.

Content format tips

Native video (uploaded directly, not linked) is favored over external links.
Groups are the highest-leverage feature — build one around your niche instead of relying solely on the Page feed.
Longer, discussion-provoking captions outperform short ones in Groups.

Growth tactics

Seed a Group early and personally welcome new members.
Cross-post short clips from TikTok/Instagram natively rather than as shared links.
Go live periodically — Facebook still rewards live video with feed priority.

Common mistakes to avoid

Posting external links as the whole post (algorithm suppresses off-platform links).
Treating the Page like a broadcast channel instead of investing in Groups/community.
Ignoring comments — reply volume is a strong ranking signal.
