Facebook Business Page Update

It comes as no surprise that Facebook has once again changed its formulas. While the analytics are unmatched by any other platform, Facebook strives to continuously improve the user experience. Always in search of the ultimate experience, this update seemed surprisingly late.

In this recent update, Facebook announced quite a change for its business pages. Facebook is aiming to eliminate duplicate views on posts in order to show a more accurate depiction of the actual reach your posts are receiving. While this update is actually a good change, companies need to be aware of it so they’re not surprised when they’re reviewing their analytics.

In light of this new change, here are a few recommendations for brands looking to audit and assess their true performance on Facebook after the new algorithm change.

  1. Set new benchmarks for reach and engagement. The new algorithm was implemented in November 2019. When January arrives, use December’s post reach as a new benchmark to gauge social performance. Otherwise, you would be doing yourself and your brand a disservice.
  2. Don’t discount past posts that seemingly received good engagement. Just because the post performed very well under the old grading system, doesn’t mean that it won’t under the new benchmarks. For instance, if you’re sharing an evergreen post you shared in the past as a current #ThrowbackThursday, be mindful of the new grading system.
  3. Keep being consistent. The key to a good social media strategy is not only the strategy that’s used but the implementation of the strategy that remains consistent. Whether you’re posting 3 times a week or 3 times a day, be sure to remain a reliable content source. And as always, post once, measure results twice.

I’m all about giving bonuses, so here’s a bonus tip. If you want to optimize your social media presence, you need to stay informed. Many aspects of social media are changing; in fact, I would say the one thing about social media that’s consistent is that it’s changing. Therefore, always be looking for ways to optimize and improve, just like Facebook and you will be on the path to being successful at social media.

Whether its social media or inbound marketing, Social Media Strategist, Casey, is ready to whip your digital presence into shape. If you’re ready to make strategy at the forefront of your social plan, you can reach her at casey@yourmarketingco.com.

Dexter Ochoa

Development Assistant

When it comes to blending logical thinking and creative problem solving, Dexter’s abilities are undeniable! Beginning his career as a Web Developer, he’s no stranger to the wide world of Marketing and Advertising. Calling Biñan City in the Philippines home, Dexter has a burning desire to visit the Alpine peaks and valleys of Switzerland. While that journey may be far off, he is still no stranger to international travel. While visiting Japan, he was able to enjoy his favorite delicacy: Sushi and Sashimi. He also learned unexpected facts about Japanese Yen, specifically that it has special markings for the blind to know its value!

Living life by his motto to “Do good even if the world is unfair,” Dexter would also advise his younger self, “It’s hard, but you’re doing good!” Whether he’s enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or the occasional Pale Pilsen in the evening, Dexter is eager to work with the talented professionals of YMC, and we’re just as eager to add his talent to the team as well! His marketing words of wisdom? “Be creative, and just do what you want!”

Andrew Wyche

Copywriter

Hailing from the NC state capital (that’s Raleigh if you didn’t know), Andrew is YMC’s Copywriter extraordinaire. That’s why he knows that “The verb form of ‘reconnaissance’ is ‘reconnoiter.’ The former is, strictly speaking, a noun.” Seriously, he knows his words and he’ll use those words to get bold and weird (in a good way) with his copy. Fuelled by a love for pasta, shellfish, a good single malt, or a meal consisting of all three, Andrew navigates life with a motto engraved in his heart: “Choose kindness. Always.” It is this guiding principle that has led him to explore the realm of marketing, driven by a desire to connect with people in meaningful ways. As he continues to chase his dreams, one bucket list item stands out above the rest – a pilgrimage to Scotland. With his heart set on adventure and his pen poised for creativity, Andrew’s journey is far from over.

Alex VanHaasteren

Senior Web Developer

Alex is YMC’s Senior Web Developer and, as the title suggests, she is an absolute pro! While she initially started in graphic design – working long and hard to expertly bring concepts to life – she also felt drawn to technology and applying her natural ability to problem solve. Web Development proved the perfect blend of her creative passion and technical savvy.

When Alex is out with friends – including her YMC colleagues – she’s up for Greek cuisine or some good pulled pork BBQ washed down with Diet Coke. Or an Old Fashioned, if the occasion demands. Someday, she hopes to go to Africa on a safari. Hopefully she’ll see a giraffe in the wild, because – as she’s pointed out – its neck is too short to reach the ground!

When she isn’t jamming out to T-Swift, she’s happy to impart some marketing words of wisdom, “Aim to create something unforgettable.” For day-to-day inspiration, she would remind you of two fundamental truths: You decide your happiness, and Ice cream is its own food group—not just a dessert.
