How Many People View Your Facebook Posts? Confused By Community Pages? Social Media News Explains

/in /by

Do you love the information that Facebook Insights gives you as a fan page administrator?  Now you can now see per post impressions and the feedback for each individual post according to this Biz Report article.  But what counts as an impression? According to the Facebook Help Center “the impression number is the raw number of impressions that have been shown to users. These impressions can come from a user’s news feed, a visit to the Page, or through an Open Graph social plugin.”  Seems a little vague to me…please let me know if you have found a more thorough explanation.  Overall, I like the new and improved Insights because you can see the posts that led to engagement and the ones that didn’t.  With the new information you can work to eliminate the later.

While Facebook has enhanced their Insights, their community pages still need some work.  AdvertisingAge reports that there are millions of unclaimed pages on Facebook right now and recommends that businesses claim their community page before Facebook changes again. So what’s the problem? Well, once you claim your community page it may converge with your original fan page which can result in lost content and formatting changes.  Not good! If you have any experience with this we’d like to hear your story.

If you have suggestions for future Social Media News articles, want to ask questions or share thoughts, please feel free to email me. Thanks! – Laura

Tweetup For Facebook Fan Page Administrators

/in /by

As you may already know, GCAI recently held a Tweetup for Facebook Fan Page Administrators. It was a great event and we hope everyone who attended had a great time and was able to learn something new! We had three panelists that were selected due to their outstanding Fan Pages: Tara Tetreault from Jackson & Connor, Kelly Galanis (AKA the Red Headed Diva) from Westfield State College, and Don Anderson from the Cruise Store. Dave Sweeney from Viz-Bang was there to shoot videos of the panelists and other attendees talking about the success they’ve seen with their Fan Pages and the types they like to see. The conversation was extremely engaging as everyone chimed into the discussion.

To thank participants, we handed out some useful prizes. Tom Galanis from Westfield State College and Suzanne Boniface from the Children’s Study Home both won some “Garvey Gear.” Dan Buendo from Reminder Publications, Moira Murphy from Coldwell Banker, and Mary Wiseman from Wiseman Designs were the winners of “Engage!” by Brian Solis. The grand prize winner was Mychal Connolly from Stinky Cakes who won a video shoot with Dave Sweeney and Marty Langford of Viz-Bang. We’re looking forward to seeing it!

Thanks again to everyone that came to the event. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
