1. Stay active

By now you know that you should publish engaging, interesting and entertaining content. But how often should you post? There is no magic number but there are best practices and analytics to guide you. Post at least one status update per day, and experiment with the timing of your posts to see when the majority of your followers are active. People are unlikely to like your Facebook page if you don’t post regularly – and they certainly won’t engage with your content (or help you get more likes) if they don’t see your posts.

2. Publish engaging content

It’s important to publish engaging, entertaining and interesting posts on a regular basis, keep an eye out for the posts that get the most engagement. If your posts are valuable to your followers, then they will share your posts with their friends, helping you increase your Facebook likes. Images are among the best types of post for driving engagement so make sure you publish images your followers can relate to and will like.

3. Complete your Facebook Business Page Profile

Your Facebook Page is the first thing people see when they come to visit you on Facebook. Let visitors know why they should like you! Create a catchy description and make sure you categorise your page correctly. Also make sure to list your address, phone number and hours of operation (if applicable). Not only will this inform your potential followers, it will tell Facebook what kind of organisation you are you so they know to show your page when users are searching for companies like yours – which can increase your Facebook likes even more!

4. Consistency, Consistency, Consistency.

Growing your Facebook Business Page certainly won’t happen overnight, but you do need to be consistent. Use tools such as HootSuite to ensure you are scheduling your content in a consistent manner.
