Post and connect

    • Messenger: Use Messenger to reach people at scale, then continue to interact with them individually.
    • Instagram Direct: Communicate directly with people interested in your business on Instagram.
    • Comments: Inbox includes comments from your Facebook Page and Instagram account (if connected). If you select a comment, you can see which post or picture it references.

Optimise your Page

  • Insights: When you run and manage a Page with Facebook, you have free unlimited access to audience and ad insights. Theย Insightsย tab contains your Page overview, including engagement and what actions people took on your Page. When you run an ad on Facebook, you can go to yourย Ad Centreย tab to see how the ad is performing across placements and demographics. Learn about theย Insights tabย and theย Ad Centre tab.
  • Advertising: Build an audience for your Page by promoting it to the right people, and achieve results based on your goals. Learn more aboutย advertising on Facebook, Instagram and more.
