Why you should use Facebook as a page for boosting your FB marketing efforts?
As you can see, there are some limitations but there are plenty of things you can do with your Facebook page.
If you haven’t used your Facebook page very frequently for the things we have described above then it might be the time to incorporate these tactics into your Facebook page marketing efforts.
When you are engaging with other pages and people as a Facebook page, it is clear that your Facebook page will get higher organic visibility.
If you share popular Facebook posts of other Facebook pages that are active in your target audience then Facebook is more likely to recommend your Facebook page to people who don’t know your page yet but are likely to follow you if your page gets recommended.
So if your Facebook page is really new, or you don’t really have brand recognition among your target audience group, it is recommended to engage with people or pages that are operating in the same niche.
