Strategy
Social Media Marketing for Small Businesses
A realistic plan for small teams: one platform, a sustainable rhythm, and metrics tied to revenue.
Facebook Marketing
Facebook favours conversation and paid targeting over organic Page reach.
How Facebook distributes content
Organic reach for Facebook Pages has been constrained for years, because the news feed prioritises posts from friends, family and groups. A Page that only broadcasts announcements will usually reach a small share of the people who follow it.
What still performs is conversation. Groups, comment threads and native video attract meaningful distribution, and Facebook's advertising tools remain some of the most precise available for reaching a defined audience.
What to focus on
The factors below have the largest effect on how widely your content is distributed on this platform.
Groups
Community spaces receive more consistent distribution than Page posts and build durable relationships.
Native video
Video uploaded directly to Facebook is favoured over links pointing somewhere else.
Paid targeting
Detailed audience controls make even modest budgets useful for testing messages.
Page completeness
Accurate hours, location and contact details drive real-world actions such as calls and visits.
