For those of you who might have missed the news before heading out of town for Memorial Day weekend, last week Facebook released a new feature for brand pages that provides a quicker and easier way to monitor their reach to fans.
Prior to this release, brands could use their page admin panel to see what content was viewed most by their fans. The new feature gives brands another way to view their reach by providing the percent of fans viewing each piece of content posted on the bottom of each post.
This is a great new feature for brands who want this information and don’t
want to calculate it on their own from the insight section of their admin panel.
According to Facebook, the average post on a brand page only reaches about 16% of its fans – a relatively low amount. Now that brands can see the percent of fans reached on each individual post, you can better understand what types of content to engage fans with in the future.
Through the use of this tool, Facebook hopes to optimize fan engagement with brands
and ultimately help brands increase their average percent of fans reached per post.
Highlights:
- New Admin Feature
- Easily Accessible
- Increases Engagement Optimization”
This graph was created using the social media monitoring tool Alerti. Overall, the tone of conversation about this topic across different social media is neutral, however almost a quarter of the commentary is positive.

Timeline is amazing when people see your profile.
That’s a great Facebook feature and it’s really helpful.
I suppose everyone is using it now.
i think the older profile style was better than this timeline. But timeline gives a professionalism in profile view. that may help brands and products much better

I don’t like this new feature of Facebook, I like the way it used to be . Everything was easier to access and more stream lined. I really do not like the new format.

I personally think that before FB tries to launch a new feature they need to work on some other issues that the end user complains about. I do however like the fact that they are helping businesses to understand what types of content the fans are reading.
I don’t know why personally I don’t like this new feature Facebook introduced though it might be good for people who are using facebook for business purposes but somehow i find the last version was more secured than this timeline. Anyway thanks for sharing this atleast i understood the advantages of timeline.

In my opinion, FB Timeline totally rocks. Talk about a great way to engage, monitor, and benchmark social media response for your business, company, or fan base! We love it over here at Digital Age Marketing Group and Accident Attorneys Now. Since we were one of the first companies to initiate and optimize our Facebook Timeline, for ourselves, months before it was ever made available to the public, we took a proactive stance and approach to help our customers, professional legal clientele, and partners engage, enact, and respond using the already really hip, cool social media platform.
