What Facebook’s Algorithm Change
Means for Brands and the Future of Media
One of the main reasons people come to Facebook is to see what’s happening in their News Feeds. Our goal with News Feed has always been to show people the things they want to see. When people see content that’s relevant to them, they’re more likely to be engaged with News Feed, including stories from businesses.
That’s why we often look to people on Facebook to tell us how we can improve. As part of an ongoing survey, we asked hundreds of thousands of people how they feel about the content in their News Feeds. People told us they wanted to see more stories from friends and Pages they care about, and less promotional content.
Now we’re bringing new volume and content controls for promotional posts, so people see more of what they want from Pages.
By making News Feed more engaging for people — with Page post creative that is more relevant to them — we’re also creating a better platform for businesses to reach their customers and find new ones.
Why it still matter?

6. According to people we surveyed, there are some
consistent traits that make organic posts feel too
promotional :
*Beginning in January 2015, people will see less of this type of content in their News Feeds.
1. Posts that solely push people to
buy a product or install an app
2. Posts that push people to enter
promotions and sweepstakes
with no real context
3. Posts that reuse the exact same
content from ads

— we’re also creating a better platform for businesses

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND :
17. Organic reach refers to how many
people you can reach for free on
Facebook by posting to your Page
Let’s redefining
about ‘organic reach’
IT’S NOT DEAD
BUT IT’S MORE
COMPETITIVE
18.
19. Is organic reach dropping because Facebook
is trying to make more money?
No. Our goal is always to provide the best experience for the
people that use Facebook. We believe that delivering the
best experiences for people also benefits the brand that use
Facebook. If people are more active and engaged with
stories that appear in News Feed, they are also more likely
to be active and engaged with content from businesses.
20. 1. Fans make your ads more effective. When an ad
has social context — in other words, when a
person sees their friend likes your business —
your ads drive, on average, 50% more recall and
35% higher online sales lift.
2. Fans also make the ads you run on Facebook
more efficient in our ads auction. Ads with
social context are a signal of positive quality of
the ad, and lead to better auction prices.
3. You can use insights about your fans — like
where they live, and their likes and interests —
to inform decisions about reaching your current
and prospective customers
4. Fans can give your business credibility. More
fans, more people desired & trust to follow.
I paid good money for my
f a n s o n F a c e b o o k
tommorow, and now I can’t
reach as many of them.
Number of fans doesn’t
important anymore?
22. Publish only great content — content that
teaches people something, entertains them,
makes them think, or in some other way adds
value to their lives
WHY: Organic content still has
value on Facebook. We hope
from small organic reach we can
get maximum engagement
(comment, likes, share) so our
edge rank will be good.
